Hello all,
I am looking to start feeding my birds more sprouts and less bag feed. I am looking for info on nutrient densities for these types of sprouts...
Oats
Barley
Rye
Wheat
Peas
Cabbage
Kale
Diakon radish
Lind seed
Sunflower
Kale
..and more suggested if there are any..
...especially better cheaper selections...
....high protein seems to be the target...
I am looking to cut out so much bag feed and give more fresh feed year round. Especially in the winter months. Anyone ever tried to eliminate buying bag feed and use primarily fresh veggies and sprouts? I do have a large flock(about 100 laying birds). I imagine sprouting seeds will contain more available nutients and go much further than the dry seed per pound? Any ideas or info on this topic would be greatly used and appreciated. Thanks all!
