I thought I should update my BOSS sprouting time! I started them on 10/17 and today is 10/27, so it took 10 days for me to sprout BOSS to my satisfaction!! It sure takes longer than barley!! I only have 8 chickens, so this whole tray will be used for 2 days!

They do look delicious!! Here is the link that you can lean more about it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/creating-your-own-fodder-system

Does anyone know how long does it take to sprout BOSS? I started this one on 10/17, so it has been sprouting for 4 days now. This one was started on 10/15, so it has been 6 days now. I feels they should have sprouted longer than that!

OK, got it!! I'm now trying to sprout 2 separated trays: one barley, and one BOSS!!! We'll see if I have a green or black thumb!!! Feel like a loser already!!! Will keep you update in a few days!!

Ok, I will try! Just curious, what is the purpose of extra tray on top of another tray? By the way, is the process of sprouting BOSS the same as barley?

What is the ideal temperature for growing barley?? I kept the tray inside the house and it was around 68-70 during day time and 60-65 during night time. I washed them every 8 hours. They didn't get moldy or dry. I could see SOME seeds began to sprout on the second day. By the third and fourth...

I know for sure that it's not pearled barley!! I attached a picture of the barley tag that I bought! I don't know much about barley so I get whatever they have at the store! I am planning to buy some wheat if they have some! Does it matter what kind??

I tried with barley and so far it didn't go well! I would say only 1% of barley in the tray was sprout!! I thought I did something wrong, so I tried one more time, and it was the same. I will try wheat and see if I have more luck with it!! :(

Thx! By the way, how long does it need to be soaked during the first day? 24 hours?

This whole thing makes me so excited so I decided to give it a try!! I have 8 chickens and only 2 of them just started laying a few days ago. My questions are: 1. How many fodder do I need to feed 8 chickens per day? 2. It sounds to me so far that wheat is easy to sprout than barley, so I will...
