Interesting, I grow it for my chickens. I have learned that if it's slimy wash the roots off they don't like slimy. I only do three days before I feed the chickens, they like the seeds more than the grass. If I had a horse, I would grow the fodder for the 7 days and cut the greens off for the horse and give the seeds and roots to the chickens/birds. Horses teeth are not able to cut the tops off from the roots and I have never seen horses eat root... Good informative video.
My wise old neighbor once said the best place to get grass seed is at the foot of a hay elevator. The dust/chaff that falls to the bottom of the elevator is also rich in seeds dropped from the hay. This "seed mix" could be sprinkled over the soil/substrate to grow a nice piece of pasture, fodder, or sod.
Why are you making a "how to" video when this is your 1st dry run?? 🤔
Just soak the seeds so they swell up, then feed it to the chooks ✌🏼
A couple drops of bleach in your water will keep it mold out. Yours looked great!!! My grown hens loved it… all that was left was small root balls.

For the horse I would pull it apart into one-bite pieces.
Thank you, sir! I think I'll start growing some myself at home & take it to the farm when done, because there the infrastructure is not complete yet. But so far, so good. Thank you again !
I cant see how it would be cost effective for all the work, a better study might have been measure in weight before, then how much after 10 days then figure what the ten days and wheat cost and get a per pound cost then check what it costs to just buy prepared feed and see the difference in costs for the time and money spent.. I think your definition of fodder is not 100% right. when we were growing up we grew especially for livestock a variety of things mainly corn let it grow out till it was completely dried out sometimes we let it go over the winter and get frozen and in the spring combine it through a shredder stocks and all and bunker silo it for cattle and horses.. What you re doing is making sprouts and then feeding it which is not as thrifty a way to do it because of the labour. Just making an observation dont get offended please
Where do you get your wheat berries?
Horses love it
like your video, it's real toms up
How much can you sell fodder for? And does it sell by the pound or by the tray?
How many chickens were you feeding with 2 trays a day? Trying to get an idea of how much ill need to start this with

😂 the chicken kick at the end -->>>>>>😂
Hi, thanks for sharing your video! Do you happen to know if chicken can eat Guar Gum or Pearl-millet ? Since you mentioned they can eat Sorghum, I wonder if the animals can also eat the other stuff I just mentioned.
If I only do it for 3 days I assume the it won;t make that much of a difference? Maybe I go from 3 lb to 5lb?
Does anyone ever use compost tea when they water?
I am in Nixa Mo . I’m trying to find seed to use . I have goats and chickens . Can you help with which seeds to use a x even more important where to buy the seeds .
