I was buying wheat the other day and another customer in the shop told me he feeds his chicken barley only. Barley and wheat are the same price here, but I don't know which one is better. Any article/post that I could read? Picture of barley...

OK, So I was not talking about sprouting, as apparently any sprouted seed is better for us and the chickenI was just trying to understand if barley and wheat are the same price here is it worth buying barley... I am currently feeding my chicken with wheat only, and it looks like barley does not provide any extra nutritional value, so no point adding it to their diet. Corn is cheaper than wheat here and many people add it to wheat, but except for fat I am not sure why add corn to chicken diet.

I give them layers feed (mix) in the morning and then only wheat for the rest of the day. Common practice here. Plus, mine are free range.You feed your chicken with wheat ONLY?
Any other foods you give them?
