Hi Just checking in! I've been growing for about 2 weeks now. I have 12 hens. I use a cup of wheat, soaked 24 hrs, I put it in a Food storage container approximately 7" X 7". I have NO Holes. ( I couldn't bear to poke holes in them) 2 X a day, I soak each one for 5 minutes or so, drain off, using a strainer on the early ones, after 3-4 days, a thick mat has grown no need for the strainer. Containers day 4-5-6 are in the sun, containers day 1-2-3 are stacked inside each other with a lid on the top one. My Temp is definitely in the 70's. No Mold, no bleach, no Peroxide. My girls wasted some of the greens, for about a week. They do eat more but still a little green is wasted. Not sure why, I'm still feeding same amount of everything else, along with lots of scraps. They will gobble up finely chopped kale. All in All, I'm good with it. This is just another treat the beautiful girls get.
