Hi All,
After much experimenting, I have designed a Fodder system that is very easy to use and reasonable to ship.
I have three models:
The six tray produces one finished tray of Fodder a day. It takes 5 cups (about 2 1/2 pounds) of seed and produces around 15 pounds of finished Fodder. It will feed about 40 chickens
The twelve tray produces 2 finished trays of Fodder a day. It takes 10 cups (about 5 pounds) of seed and produces around 30 pounds of finished Fodder. It will feed about 80 chickens.
The eighteen tray produces 3 finished trays of Fodder a day. It takes 10 cups (about 5 pounds) of seed and produces around 30 pounds of finished Fodder. It will feed about 120 chickens.
The system is designed to be used indoors (I would suggest putting it on a mat of somekind as it splashes a bit, especially as you're getting your trays started) and makes kind of a nice water feature. You could even spray paint it a pretty color (I like the hammered copper paint, but whatever floats your boat
). The water is completely automated with a timer that can be set to your preferences. All that needs to be done with it is to change the water in the sump periodically.
The 6 tray is $225 + $25 s&h
The 12 tray is $320 + $35 s&h
The 18 tray is $415 + $55 s&h
You can buy the systems online at:

You can either use PayPal or just pay as a guest with any credit card. I also accept checks if you don't like to buy over the internet. Just PM me and I'll give you my address.
