Hi Chris I appreciate the response and agree what pertains to humans is not the same for animals in many cases.
Lectin can be toxic and is found in mung beans and other beans as well as many other poisonous plants
But here's some helpful links that may explain it better...
Hi Linda Yes at least 6 days old (4 days is still considered too early as far as safely consumable lectin amounts go in bean sprouts) and I agree with fermenting I hadn't even thought of that.
LOL You sound like me, if there is one thing that I agonize over a lot..it's waste. Mung beans aren't a fav of mine but I have had them sprouted and they smell just terrible. But people swear by the benefits of eating them and many people love them, I dont know how many you have but perhaps if...

Hey there Holly! Welcome, like you I just joined today and wished I had joined a while back but it sounds like you have had far more chicken experience than I have though. So looking forward to hearing more about your experiences in the future. I wish you luck with your hatching !
I would love to start beekeeping but have no idea about where to begin and keeping it cost effective is another issue I've wrestled with. Space and local flora however is not and I think it would be a perfect addition to our homestead. Any advice on starting out would be very helpful indeed.
Hey there diva . Thank you for the kind welcome! Yes we love our chicken tv. Speaking of "housepet chickens " I suppose should have mentioned my sons Silkie who has become sort of a house pet since we found she was very different than the other girls and had to separate her from the flock. i'm...
