Guest Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 just watched Jamie Oliver and he showed an easy way to grow beansprouts in jars. Can I give them to the chickens? I worry about them eating grass as it's so fibrous but cress and beansprouts are nutritious but not fibrous aren't they? what does everyone think? can i grow some then give them to the girlies? would they be safe for them?

Egluntyne Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 There was an article in Practical Poultry Mag a while ago about a lady who was sprouting all sorts of seeds to give them to her hens. They were thriving on them, as they are a powerful source of vitamins....so yes...I'd say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 All I can say is that I threw some stir fry mix that we didn't use into the pen last week & the beansprouts were avoided by all the hens, which is very unusual I had to go in the next day & pick them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
