I think those are just awesome.Here is a couple of photos of the sprout boxes, unfortunately the season is coming to a close and with the cold days we just had they didn't do much. So the one to the left of the hen is todays fresh seeds. The one on the far right is yesterday progressing back toward the hen.

(In my area in Missouri, oats or barley are about $12 or $14 per bag if just rated for feed, and $16 to $21 if rated for seed.)
As you can see, my run is pretty bare, and I'm wanting to get some greenery back in there.

I'm working on building a few "raised flower bed" frames and I'm going to plant some grass in them, somewhat like this...

BUT MY QUESTION IS... is there a particular type of grass that you'd recommend? Something with a little more nutritional value than others, something that is better quality, something that chickens like? Does it matter what type of grass I plant?
Thanks for any input!
The feed stores I shop are in Fenton (http://www.fentonfeedmill.com) and near Washington, Missouri (http://straatmannfeed.com). Both provide seed to farmers.What part of Missouri are you in? I've not found oats or barley around here.
Oh and you should add your location to your profile so it's always there.
