Hey, has anyone used sprouted rice for chicke feed. I just sprouted some to test germination rates, but then started thinking, "Hey Kelley, can chickens eat this too.?" I just started feeding our chooks sprouted grain mixes. And they love them...everything but the green peas. So what about sprouted rice? Just curious What do other sprouters feed their chooks. Looking for good ideas and healthy nutrition
 
Rice sprouts would be fine. Rice is lower in protein than other grains but on a par with corn.
I sprout barley, wheat, sunflower, oats, winter peas and buckwheat.

I substitute sprouts for scratch grains. They still get the bulk of their diet in the form of chicken feed.
