debbie Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hello Just wondering, is it ok to give the girls the sprouting seeds that we get from our veggie box ? I tend to throw them away as we aren't keen ourselves. Sould they be given as a treat? Thankyou in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I got some too in my veg box (rivernene?) and had no idea what to do with them. If the answer is yes its ok for them to have them guess whos having that treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi Bronze Yup....(Rivernene)..... I think you can put them in stews and salads but I'm not keen. So hopefully the girls might be in luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'm sure that in this months Practical Poultry magazine, there is a feature on a woman who feeds her hens sprouted seeds (as treats i think). Its the 'carbon neutral' feature if anyone has it. I can't find my copy at the moment. (OH has probably binned it ) C x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 even the chookie girls turned their noses up at them. In the end they sprouted into small plants out of last winters bark chips....lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Ooooh I love those sprouted seeds - my girls never get a look-in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yes I read that Christian, better nutritional value in a sprouted seed than in the seed alone and also extra bulk (she used sprouted quinoa and wheat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I read about it too.....a while ago I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
