I’m sprouting the organic scratch feed from a local farm... it’s only $0.45lb and sprouts. everything seems so expensive online...

I buy a feed that advertises as being good for sprouting (it’s called scratch and Peck) .. I’m wanting to give it a try, but I’m so ignorant... I have no idea how to actually rinse and water and all that. I’m hoping to find some tutorials on YouTube
I have no idea! I haven't ever heard of a Golden Salmon Marans, they sound beautiful. Are they dark egg layers?
Yes, the Scratch and Peck feeds are expensive. It is possible to buy the 40lb bag for the same price approx as the 25lb. which is what I do and I use it as a supplement to my regular crumble feed. I wish my local store would keep the whole grain scratch in stock so I could sprout it but I am going to try the bird seed.
Sweet!!! I’m still on an all organic kick with these chickens... I’m not sure if it’ll pass or not... where did you score this hot deal?
I managed to find the 3 grain organic scratch from SandP at my sort of local feed store. I bought 2 bags and am trying an experimental sprouting technique in the chicken run. I also am trying the wild bird seed.
@lazy gardener how many chickens are you sprouting for? I have probably asked you this in the past but I cant remember
