[nova022]

Thanks for the info. I bought a 5lb bag of brown top millet yesterday for $1.50/lb. They also had organic barley for sale, wasn't marked with a price. Can I sprout barley and any idea how long for?

Where did you buy the millet?

Thanks so much for your help! Are you planting the seeds hydroponically or in some sort of soil-type medium? Thanks so much again!! I'm SOO trying to find a way of cutting feed costs!

They are called "Whole Oats".
I get the from the local feed store. Ask when you buy them if
they will germinate.
$12.65 for 50 pounds. (Triple cleaned Racehorse Oats.)
I grow mine outside. I made a small hoop house out of
pvc pipe and clear plastic. I have a strand of Christmas lights in there.
77 degrees should probably work. I grew them when it was cold
outside, so I don't see why they wouldn't grow now.

Thanks a million!! I'm trying so hard to figure this whole 'cheap-chicken feeding thing' out! I'm going to have to try this! Thanks for the help!!!

brown millet this time of the year, grows very well ALL summer here

These crops birn out in our extreme summer heat: (Oct - March planting) whole wheat and oats over winter along with timothy and clover cover crop.

you can plant salad spreads too. They can even be made to go over bahia sod pieces so the grass can root but shoot up through the wire.
