quickcluck Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Saw this in wiggly wigglers http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/shop/product.html?product_id=1194&-session=shopper:56A146B309cad36BCErjFE635F15 and wondered if it'd be a good way to grow 'goodies' for girls....... What do you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Definitely. There was an article in the Practical Poultry Mag a year or so ago where a breeder grew them on an almost industrial scale to feed to her chickens. I have given them to my girls from time to time and they love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I saw those on wiggly wrigglers too and i have a sprouter yet to be used. Didn't know which seeds to use though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 I think they can have pretty much anything. But i am steering clear off the strong flavoured stuff in case they affect the eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Mine love the Alfalfa sprouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Mine love Alfalfa too, and broccoli, mung, gourmet mix........................in fact anything in the sprouted seeds line goes down very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 well have ordered mung, alfalfa and fenugreek. have got 2 seed bags coming too. Plus I got some chickpeas as I love those!!!!
