i spilled a bunch of chicken feed at some point when i was a kid and remember being upset for being wasteful and clumsy. A couple years later that spot was growing a 2ft tall, unthinned, super dense variety of plants that somehow survived despite total neglect. i like your reverse-tractor method of containing and rotating access to the plants rather than containing the birds.

While northerners can’t employ this year round (makes me want to return to my home state), I do sprout every day without rinsing and rinsing. A sunny window, some seeds, a tray and a spray bottle is all it takes. Plus, I like the idea of soaking one night and spreading their feed seed. I’m going to do that with my scratch mix which is just for them to keep busy in the cold months.

I fed my chickens grain sprouted for 7 days. I mixed 2 parts wheat, one-part oats, one of corn & if it is cold, one of barley. I put the estimated daily amount of mixed feed in each of seven 20L pails with water drainage holes drilled in the bottom. The grain was watered twice a day. The chickens were fed the grain that had sprouted for 7 days. In hot climate maybe 4 days is enough. I overfed so some grain grew in the pen for continual greens. The egg yolks were very dark orange, nearly red. The taste was delicious, almost sweet. The eggs were in high demand. The chickens loved the feed.

What a great idea. Good chicken feed is quite expensive, and our birds have not been laying over the last few months, apart from the odd one. It is our winter in NZ, but we were told that these chickens generally lay all year. They are so fussy when given greens like spinach or other kitchen veggie scraps, but they love the treat of sweet corn mixed with leftover rice.

Another brilliant idea. One I will be implementing! I’ve done tray sprouts. Fermented feed. All too time consuming. I only feed organic whole grain, and scraps. Unfortunately, I have not found a good source to save money. So I need to find a way to supplement their feed. My plan is, to take all the ground I do not officially garden, I will be “cover cropping,” with a bag of their scratch whole grain feed. And whatever I get, is bonus! Every little bit helps. They do give beautiful eggs! Orange yolks, almost like golf balls! One more thing. Your method makes for happychickens. They love looking for food.
