barely is hard to find here, so I will try wheat in a couple of weeks my chicks are only 3 days old so I have a little time to start the fodder

I think Barely has the highest nutritional value, wheat can be grown for fodder, as well as sun flower seeds or just about anything that will sprout, I did sunflowers and gave it to my neighbors chickens and they went wild over the BOSS fodder
