dogmad Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi, This morning I have noticed that we have grass/greenery growing in the run. Now the run is based on solid concrete with a 3 inch base of woodchips on top. I am presuming that the greenery is from spilt seeds which are sprouting. Am I correct in thinking that these are fine for the chickens to eat and will actually give them something to peck around for or should I be looking at giving the run a complete clear out? Thanks Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Depends what they are. There was an article in the Practical Poultry mag a while back about a lady who sprouts alfalfa etc and feeds it to her hens and she reckons they thrive on it.

dogmad Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 They are just seeds from their food mix, so could be a mixture of sunflower and wheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
