I'm on day 3 on my fodder. I was going to wait until winter to start but I was having a hard time finding wheat seeds to store until then. I found a bag at my favorite feed store that was $32 for a 50 lb bag. I left it sitting in my brooder room and noticed it had little weavels in it, boring out of the bag. So I opened it up and started a test run. I hate to waist money on infested seed. But after 24 hours most of the seed had roots started. Now we are getting little sprouts on day 3. I was rinsing 2-3 times a day in a little tupperwear tray. But I found this thread and at the very beginning is a link to a homestead page with you tube vedios. Its an awesome tutorial for newbies like me. I was over watering a little. Its fine because nothing was harmed. Should I put my fodder in a cooler room with ac? My brooder room stays very hot all summer long. It doesn't have ac, its kind of like a sun room. It has 2 walls of windows that face the sun. Its great for raising baby chicks without a heat lamp but not so great for mold in my roots, I'm sure. I think I will keep making fodder now since the heat has killed most of the grass outside and the girls aren't getting much greens. That and the weavles will keep eating my seed unless I use it. Sometimes bugs are annoying.
