    Oat Fodder not thick

    I bought oat grains and am trying to grow fodder. Some of it germinated and is growing but I am not getting a mat of grass like I see with other peoples fodder. Can someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong? I am using tins (I think 9x12) which i water and drain daily.

    I want to try to grow fodder this year. Would you recommend one grain over another? I can currently only get wheat, rye or oats. Thanks in advance for giving me the idea!

    Sick duckling

    I get it. It passed, I am sure it was failure to thrive. I tried my best. Good idea on the apple cider vinegar. I will start that with the healthy one. I will also give a hard boiled egg with it's food.
