That label stating that the deer plot mix is treated means itās not made to feed the seed directly to animals. It can be fed after it grows, thatās what itās for.

I was wondering why my email alert showed it but the thread didnāt.That was my bad. I didn't mean to post that. HAHAHA. It was residual from a post a few weeks ago I abandoned.
I soaked them for 12 hours, which seemed to be long enough; thank you @gtaus for the information! I spread them out and have them about a foot away from a fluorescent light in my kitchen, as I don't have a sunny window. I dribble water on them 3-4 times a day to keep them moist; it's very dry in my house right now. I'll be giving a beautiful fodder cake to my chickens in a couple days.
I don't have a fodder tower built, and probably won't be building one, as that would mean setting up growlights.
My rye grass was not growing through the wire any more and was laying over. I opened the top and wired it to the fence and let them have at it. The oats are still growing to the wire. I think I need to raise the bedding next time on the rye side so it doesnāt have to far to grow since itās thinner bladed grass.
Aaaand itās gone. They mowed it all down and tilled the soil haha. It looks like there was never any grass there.The first time I saw this concept of a grazing frame was on YouTube. The guy would plant 2 or 3 such frames and rotate them, lifting off the frame when the grass was high enough and just let the chickens tear it all apart, while the other frame(s) were still in the growth stage.
I think my chickens would probably tear apart the plot of grass a lot quicker than the others would grow. But, it might be another approach to using those frames.
