An update to the seeds I got. After looking and researching I have come to a conclusion that I was sent Austrian Winter Pea seeds instead of Georgia Gore Wheat seeds. I e mailed the place I got the seeds no word from them ( Seed World USA) and not Seed Ranch as I stated above I will change that...

I have a fodder question. I gave my birds a try of barley fodder I sprouted. The next day there is still some left. How much should they eat in a day? I have 4 chickens the trays are about 4inches by 6-7 inches see video please. Do some chickens not like barley and if I try wheat what kind...
