Hi, welcome to BYC!
I buy mine in 50# bags at my LFS (local feed store). If they don't have what I want (it isn't a popular item for stocking), they will order it for me (around $18 in extreme remote location, probably cheaper near a city). The barley, which I tried first because according to my research was easiest with least mold trouble and max nutrients, has been working great though I get nowhere near 100% sprouting. I am working with about 55-62 degrees right now. I am excited ti try peas for their high protein content.
Will you be sprouting for chickens?
I have done tons of research and am thinking of feeding at day 4 instead of 7. But I find days to be inaccurate for my growth in my temps. SO I was hoping to find what they look like at the different stages... Day 7 is easy because the grass blades are just starting to open and reach a certain length.
Thanks for any info you have to share as well!
Hope you enjoy it here as much as I have. It has changed the life of my chickens big time and helped me learn how make it easier and more fun for me!
