Chillin' with the herd
I don't usually grow sprouts in the growing season for the chickens, figure they can pick their own grass and weeds. But I just got some meat rabbits and so I've been trying to figure a way to grow just a few sprouts for them, that lead me to the old sock idea. I do not have a video, but here are a few pics of what I've been doing for them.
These came up out of order, I have been putting 1/3 cup of dry seed in the sock each day, and b/c of the seed I am using (mistake my hubby got when sent for something else) only soaking 12 hours instead of my usual 24 hours
This is day 4 sprout, I'm taking it out to feed the buns.
They approve!
B/c I'm to lazy to pick seeds off, and the rabbits would chew the socks up, the chicks and broody moms get a windfall.
The socks stay in a to go container after the initial soak, O for odd day
E for even day, so I don't get confused when turning the container
Days 1, 2, and 3 snuggly fit inside.
