So...
After weeks of feeding, its been maybe almost 2 months, and I've been feeding the ducks and chickens black oil sunflower seed sprouts.
It does seem to work. I love it. I'm saving a lot on feed. They love it.
The nutrition theory, says basically that the closer you are to a seed in age of plant seedlings that the more nutrition is still there. So it should be a full nutrition cycle, plus they are yard foraging.
(Any problems with doing this as their only feed?)
What I wanted to ask is if the same thing will work specifically for ducks and chickens with barley & field pea sprouts? And also wheatgrass sprouts?
Is there any particular advantage of one over the other?
I thought I heard someone say the barley sprouts don't get as big, so there might be less gas mileage with the barley and field pea forage sprout mixes? Is this true?
People do barley and field pea sprouts and wheatgrass sprouts with other agriculture animals. I just wasn't sure about ducks & chickens specifically? Plus, its possible one of the 3 types (barley & field pea, wheatgrass, sunflower (BO)) may have an advantage of one or two over the other three in terms of early growth and volume increases, and nutrition fulfillment?
Thanks for any thoughts or comments on this.
