Last year as we moved the chicken tractors around the yard you could tell where my girls had been because within a week there was a beautiful new patch of milo. My girls would spill or miss so much of their scratch, and I wash the poo into the ground when we move the tractor, that it was growing like crazy! I guess my question is does anyone know why I couldn't mix commercial grass seed into their scratch grains and see if any of that would sprout as I moved the tractor around?
 
A lot of commercial seed is treated with things like fungicides, which would not be a good idea. I've read advice to not allow them onto newly seeded areas just for their protection.
