Donna,
I take a 5 gal bucket and fill it ~2/3 full of whole barley. I add just enough water to almost cover it all. Then each day I tip the barley into an empty bucket to rotate the wet bottom barley to the top of the bucket. Extra moisture then just follows gravity and goes down into the drier barley. I have 4 buckets lined up. When I transfer barley, I just go down the line. When I start seeing sprouts, I will split the bucket in half, and mix in the other stuff before feeding to the chickens. One 5 gallon bucket is a day's worth of feed for my girls. I haven't seen any problems feeding AK Mill & Feed feeds to my birds, genetically modified or not..

Okay, that's a much better system than mine. How long before the sprouts begin to show? I figure 4-5 days for when I tried it here but my method was pretty crude....

Only takes about 3 days. I only have 4 buckets, and one is usually empty for dumping.

I do it in the garage, where it's a little warmer. In the summer months it would go bad in 3 days, because it was TOO warm. Now it's perfect.

Errr good point, I missed that ingredient..

Man, Alaska Mill & Feed has about EVERYTHING!

Okay, well, next time, I'll leave the block in the pan, in the oven. I just tried to put it on a plate, and it went everywhere. The dogs seem to like it, however.
