Of course You can give anything to chickens, well most anything, I throw all sorts of stuff out in the compost, they will scratch through and find tidbits. I'm not sure how nutritious it would be, maybe it would be like Fermented feed!

I think you should google feed stores all around and call them. surely there are feed stores that carry whole grains for feed. If they don't ask if they can order it.

AMEN SSTER CATRYNA!

I'm pretty sure he meant $9.60 for 50lbs. although i hadn't done the math.

Hi Just checking in! I've been growing for about 2 weeks now. I have 12 hens. I use a cup of wheat, soaked 24 hrs, I put it in a Food storage container approximately 7" X 7". I have NO Holes. ( I couldn't bear to poke holes in them) 2 X a day, I soak each one for 5 minutes or so, drain off...

Jeronica, I just found whole wheat feed grade at a feed store for $12.50 for 50 pounds.

scratch and peck offers "3 grain scratch", which is whole grain, wheat, oats and barley. no rinsing or losing other nutrients, but still a little more expensive. I have that on hand and going to try it for the first time.
