Playing Devils advocate here. Yes you can feed you chickens fodder all the time. Should you supplement with other things as well? I would say yes. I would never recommend feeding only one item.... Regardless of what it is.

No I meant too cold slows down the growth of the fodder.

I found that my fodder system seems to grow best at around 60-65 degrees F. Any colder and growth is slow and warmer and mold starts. I should post a video of the girls mobbing me in the morning for their fodder. The reaction is kinda like this.

I'm just curious what your growing conditions are like. My fodder is ready to go on day 6.

Is anyone selling any hatching eggs per chance?

I pre-presoak my BOSS for 24 hrs before adding it to my presoaking wheat for another 24 hrs.... So the BOSS soaks for 48 hours... It is all well sprouted in time for harvest

Nice! It's amazing how sometimes things work without our help!

First, Welcome back to Montana! We really love our Buff orphington and Barred Rocks... All are good layers and quite full of personality. we also have a wheaton Marans that is the sweetest bird ever but she hasnt started laying yet,

Welcome !

that would explain it.

I would think so. The idea behind the fodder is you are using the energy stored in the seed. so no soil is needed.

Welcome. Thank you for sharing your story it made me smile

Nice looking birds. I just aquired a pair of silver Wyandottes.. They are pretty bare in the tail feather area so I am hoping they will heal up a bit this winter.
