Anyone ever feed sprouts to their chickens

[nuchickontheblock]

Lately I have been making and eating a lot of sprouts (chickpeas, lentils, buckwheat, quinoa, etc.). I was just on a website that suggests feeding sprouts to animals -- pets like dogs/cats/reptiles/rabbits and also to wild birds. So wondered if anyone has had experience feeding specific sprouts to their flock.

Thanks for any info.

Hi
We feed leftover lentils, chickpeas, beans and sprouts to our flock. They love them and I recommend to feed them to your flock too hope this helps

I give my flock sprouts as often as possible. They weren't too sure about them in the beginning but they love them now. Broccoli and sunflower sprouts are faves. I had read years ago how healthy sprouts were for parrots and people and figured they would be great for chickens, too.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll toss them some and see what happens. They are picky (read here spoiled) eaters and turn up their pointy little beaks at goodies that other chickens would devour!
