Sprouts

[Cryss]

I've decided to try my hand at sprouting for the gang. I don't want to sprout something not good for them. I'm starting with a bit of boss but want to do more variety. Can they have sprouted barley? Can they have sprouted beans, like kidney or pinto?

you can sprout all kinds of fodder for chickens. you most definitely can sprout barley for them. i just started a fodder thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/starting-a-fodder-adventure.1287753/. i am currently sprouting barley for my chickens and am attempting to post the progression daily if you wanted to follow

Why not just buy lettuce and greens that are marked down at the store? That’s what I do and my girls love it.

Yeah, I do that too! I hang cabbages and they get lots of veggie scraps and wrinkly apples and bendy carrots. Lol.
