How to GROW SPROUTS for CHICKENS! Super Easy Tutorial

[@jennifercopeland2795]

I love your story. I am new to chicken keeping, and I sit by them and cry tears of joy almost daily because they have pulled me from a serious bought of depression. I am so grateful to them, and they are definitely spoiled because of that. Love your channel and thank you for sharing.

Tip for those who can't afford a mesh screw-on lid: use a bit of old (fine) netting, a piece of lace or screen or a piece of panty hose + a rubber band will work, too.

If I make sunflower sprouts for my hens, they nearly lose their minds waiting for me to get it out of the bucket. When I do give it them, they eat them as fast as possible. It’s amazing.

[@CoyoteCrossingSanctuary]

I didn’t Even know you could sprout sunflowers? I have some organic ones right now.

[@mrk130]

@@CoyoteCrossingSanctuary You can!! If you’d like me to explain it to you, I’d be happy to.

[@catherineparcell9337]

I’d like that explanation, please

[@mrk130]

@@catherineparcell9337 It’s pretty easy. You need at least two 5 gallon buckets and a lid. On the bottom of one bucket drill many holes and use a bit less than the diameter of the seeds. 1. Put a few a cups of seeds in the bucket with no holes and put in more water than will cover all the seeds. (Any sunflower seeds will do. I use the same seed for this as a do for bird feeding.) Let soak for 24 hours. 2. Dump the soaked seeds into the bucket with holes. Use a hose to rinse them for a minute. Let it drain. Put a lid on it. 3. Next day, fill the bucket the seeds are in again and let it drain. 4. Repeat 3 until the seeds have sprouted to the point you are easy to feed them to the chickens. They’ll eat them after they have just sprouted or sprouted for a few days. They. Will. Love. Them.

Wheat germ is easy to grow. Whole oats grow so fast. You can grow them in a tray with little soil. If you've a decent size chicken run then you can throw the whole oats on the ground and they'll sprout and chicken love the grass.

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

They sure do!

[@susyesmera4633]

Nice video!!! Thank you!! I also do my own sprouts for myself, my cat (yes he loves it) and for the chickens...but I do not rinse the seeds. I just put a piece of natural paper on a plate/baking sheet or other flat dish, and spread the seeds, moisten the paper once a day or whenever the paper gets dry. It works good too.

[@rafaelcruz7581]

Thank you for making your videos. You've turned this frown upside down!! I'm going to attempt this process this week for my 2 babies/pets coturnix quails.

I also love to give them fruits and veggies. We're looking forward to seeing them get excited over home grown sprouts. You have such a positive uplifting presence on camera you should also do some kind of weekly silly "keep your chin up" / "don't sweat the small stuff" or "don't throw anything at your spouse/inlaws" videos.

I live in the country and have 27 acres. Unfortunately having land doesn’t guarantee free ranging. I have so many predators here that I have to keep my chickens penned to keep them safe. I do try to let them out once per day but I have to be with them every minute or I lose one or more. I can’t tell you how many chickens I have lost to predators. Love your video.

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Thank you! And yes, even on big pieces of land there are so many risks!

I took commercial pens. Built a carriage and use the egg cartN system and move mine over fresh grass everyday. Same reasons as you do. I have the land but tooo many predators including my own dogs! I think I’ve got another idea for moving my expansion pen I intend to add. My hens seem to be healthy happy and not bored. I also have almost NO ticks in my yard for 16 years now. Win win.

Grest idea, where do you purchase a "screen lid" for jars.?

[@shirleydubon3028]

Hello! I have a question. Do I rinse the sprouted seeds until the very last day even when the jar is getting full? I'm excited to try these for my hens!!

[@deinse82]

Ideally, yes.The rinsing serves to provide moisture, but, more importantly, it stops mold (especially if it's chlorinated water from a tap). And it certainly doesn't hurt to rinse. You can of course just experiment, see if you get away with not rinsing at the end. Just be aware that if it gets moldy at all, you gotta toss the whole thing, don't feed it to your chickens.

[@99thmonkeyresonance66]

May I please, PLEASE- PRET-TY PLEASE.. know the "type" of that black and white duck, you got there?! My fiances sitting next to me and he looks over and says- "..look, you can get a few chickens, but YOU have to care for them and were not bringing the whole zoo home! Yah got me?" 🤣😂🤣😂 I used to have some chickens but they were dying of old age- (as I rescued them from a local poultry farm from being buthered) and I'd had them for a few years myself. Been watching & binging on your videos to give them the BEST, "new" info, nutrition, shelter, (watched a couple others with how to get some shelters started) but I still have, the old "shed" part- thats like attached to the side of my garage- which was used for my other cluckers! I was just lookin for another, alternative, maybe a "wheel" operated one that either I, could push around OR- I found this other guy that ripped a "wheelchair" motor off and stuck it to a "shed" that he built & every couple hrs, it moves to a new spot of grass. ..and this thing just goes around his yard and the chickens fertilize his backyard! If there are ANY good, ETHICAL people that you could mention- those who also want to do "good" by the CHICKENS- and not themSELVES- it would be EXTREMELY helpful- ..and I'd be grateful, of course! 😉 ❤

you can also use the rinsing water for the chickens, in your garden, or in houseplants. It's a little riskier with houseplants but I did it for years with no issues, i didn't let it stand for more than a day. For example if i rinsed it 2-3 times a day i would use that pitcher of rinsing water at the end of the day to water houseplants.
