Can you use like the cut and come again method on this? Like cut the green then feed that and they keep growing? Or no? I've always read long blades of grass is bad for chickens. And if they pull up the whole grass piece along with roots. Will that harm them?
Great video. Keep it up and I can see this channel going places. Also I read somewhere that Hydrogen peroxide works just as well as the bleach and just turns into water afterwards.
I cover the new seeds to simulate them being in the dark underground. I leave an opening at the end for the watering to fall in. Does it help...... ehh, I don't know. lol
Hi, do you give any other food to your rabbits and chicken or just fodder? And how many fodder is needed for 1 rabbit and 1 chicken? (from Hungary (it's a country :D ))
@@KingsWildProject I plan to use fodder as my [future] chickens main sustenance. It appeared that an entire try was given to the chickens. You, obviously, have more than I plan to have (which will be 6), so do you feed that as a supplement or do they only eat fodder?
can you tell us what you sprout and where you buy your bulk seeds? I've been wanting to try this for a while, but don't even know where to look for seeds except I think I can get the black oil sunflower seeds at my local tractor supply 🚜
+Chris Grubb I sprout barley and black oil sunflower seeds. I get the barley in bulk at a local feed store Nd I buy the black oil sunflower seeds at tractor supply I usually find it near the bird feed.
The best place to look is to call your local feed mill. Buying most retail stores charge $20-$30 a bag but I get a 50 pound bag of barley from the mill for $7
What's the size of the trays and how much soaked seed do you put in each tray. The dry seed fills a cup but what it is in actual cups used for cooking?
The planting trays are 12x24 and I never measured "exactly" how many seeds i used. I just used a large cup, like you would get from a fast food join, full to the top.
Yes the water circulates from a collection tank at the bottom. However, due to evaperation and spillage I always top off the tank with new water after I have rotated the seeds.
Hello Kings Wild Project... i have a question. Do you have to cover the trays for the first 3 days? I saw in other channels that they covered their seed trays for the first 3 days. They say darkness stimulates germination. Is this true? What you think? I see that you dont cover your trays.
I think I did it only because I saw other people to it as well. I never really did a A vs B comparison. Sorry if that doesn't help. With that said, I think it is pretty accurate. I also had my system in a semi sunny area, and the covers helped the germinating seeds not get dried out.
Where can I order seeds, I went to my local feed store and they told me that they have whole oats but it was steamed and I was afraid that wouldn't work.
Not sure, it is very location specific for everyone. You will just have to keep looking for someone who sales it. There are more and more online options everyday.
not in the first 5-7 days. seed sprout is naturally under the ground anyways and not getting sun. They have enough nutrients in the seed itself to sustain it for the first week or so. I have a 7-day rotation on my fodder, so I'm feeding my birds the seventh-day sprouts.
Dear sir, I have some questions might be nonscence to you but I want to know. Please guide me. 1)What is the use of adding bleach in the water. And can you guide the quantity of bleach in how much water. And in that how much kg of seeds can be soaked overnight. 2)In many videos I have seen they add liquid fertilizers are they good for all animals. 3)Do every seeds have different time of soaking or just overnight in bleach . 4) If don't have bleach what can be the alternative. Thank sir
The bleach kills any fungi that might be already in the seeds, which would cause mold to grow during the sprouting phase. Chickens and rabbits (which is what we use this for) are very susceptible to fungi. There are other ways to do this if you don't want to use bleach.
Kills any fungi that might be on the seeds. Chickens and Rabbits are very susceptible to fungi. I have had a few flocks get wiped out from some rogue fungi. Not a must but I do it. Def don't want to do it if you are trying to be 100% organic.
Pretty simple in this case, it kills any fungus or mold that might be in the seed, I also have rabbits and rabbits are super weak when it comes to mold and fungus, and my rabbits hang out with my chickens alot. I've never bleached any chicken, I like dark meet anyway ;)
Bleach, in this case, kills the possible fungus that would be possibly deadly to the chickens or rabbits. The bleach is long dissipated after the first washing and never makes it to the birds.
This is best used if you sprout in places with high humidity, the constant wetness (case in point watering every three hours) to keep mold down and not ruin the sprout. You can get away with watering once or twice a day and if indoors by a window you can eliminate the need for it.
how refreshing to see a to the point video. Thanks for cutting out all the endless chit chat that drives me crazy.
That was one of the cutest videos I’ve seen. She was so natural. Adorable.
Such a helpful video. I'm definitely going to try your way. I've never been able to get the method down.
Excellent variety of gestures with the young lady's seed turns! She's a better presenter than Vanna White ever was. Thanks for the info as well.
Great video!! Your daughter is too precious bless her and quite the actress as well!! ☺️
Very informative and not yappie, and what a personable lil helper
I love learning something from a video that was made years ago. Thanks! Scoop 1 cup of seeds. Fills 300 oz yellow cup full of seeds hahaha
Great video! I'm going to be doing this for our 4 backyard chickens!
hi. The BLEACH that you add. Is that a normal bleach that we used for washing cloth?
Could we use vinegar? Would it be as effective?
Do you have plans/reference to your rack/watering set up?
Can you use like the cut and come again method on this? Like cut the green then feed that and they keep growing? Or no? I've always read long blades of grass is bad for chickens. And if they pull up the whole grass piece along with roots. Will that harm them?
Do the trays have holes in them?
Great video. Keep it up and I can see this channel going places. Also I read somewhere that Hydrogen peroxide works just as well as the bleach and just turns into water afterwards.
Would you use the same amount? One capful?
Any recommendations on where to but organic non GMO seeds.
I like to mix my seeds for a little spice of life and when the roots start webbing together I add a little DE every couple of days feedings
DE?
Joel diatomaceous earth
How many chickens does one of those grown trays feed? 1 whole days worth?
What would you all recommend? Which grains should I use in East Texas? Barley is not easy to get here.
You can usually find black oil sunflower seeds a most tractor supplies, they are great for sprouting.
is the fodder enough to get the chickens fat and rich? or do you still need to give pellets, food scraps?
Nicely done!!
What a sweet little soul thanks for sharing😊
How many chickens does one tray feed and how deep do the seeds have to be in the tray?
We probably had 25 birds when I made this video and it fed them perfectly.
Nicely done! informative and not a lot of chatter! cheers
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you plant in soil and let it constantly regrow? What about plant in ground and let chickens forage on it?
That defeats the whole purpose of it being cheap and easy
That was my question, so you have to buy evertime, im looking to regrow this barely.
I have grass fed, freeranges and breeding stock, but they are locked up. I’m going to do this for my breeding stock. ❣️
Go for it!
Why do you cover some trays with a plywood panel yet in watering sequence all trays appear to be uncovered???
I cover the new seeds to simulate them being in the dark underground. I leave an opening at the end for the watering to fall in. Does it help...... ehh, I don't know. lol
Hi, do you give any other food to your rabbits and chicken or just fodder? And how many fodder is needed for 1 rabbit and 1 chicken? (from Hungary (it's a country :D ))
Hi, I have a auto timer can you tell me how to set the drain system up? Thanks
What is this seed?
HOw many chickens are you feeding with one sprouted tray? How young are your chickens when you start them on this?
I probably feed 10-12 chickens with one tray. I start my chicks on fodder after a few weeks. It's basically what they would have eaten in the wild.
Do you know the approximate amount of pre-sprouted grains you feed per bird? Is this in addition to feed? If so, how much feed does each bird get?
I'm not sure how much feed each specific bird gets, but I use one big plastic cup per tray as my scientific measuring device. :) Hope that helps.
@@KingsWildProject I plan to use fodder as my [future] chickens main sustenance. It appeared that an entire try was given to the chickens. You, obviously, have more than I plan to have (which will be 6), so do you feed that as a supplement or do they only eat fodder?
@@brendajohnson621 I believe you’ll need other pellet feed for full nutritional value for your flock, unless your free ranging them?

What is the seed
What seeds you use and where you buy them?
Cute Video!! Do you use regular water to run through your system or add some kind of nutrient solution?
I just use tap water out of a house.
Which seeds we can use for cow and buffelo?
Are there any holes in your trays or the water just spill over from the tilt?
Yes, I drilled a line of holes at the bottom.
do you use the same water when you are watering every 3 hours?
Yes the water circulates from a collection tank at the bottom. However, due to evaperation and spillage I always top off the tank with new water after I have rotated the seeds.
@@KingsWildProject the pump that you link is no longer available, would you recommend another please?

Are you also feeding pel!yes or crumbles and scratch???

put wheels on the shelving and spin the whole shelf.
What's the purpose of the bleach?
Great work
Cute helper
you forgot to mention how often you start a new batch to get the system going... everyday? every other day?
Sorry, I start a new batch every day.
What type of bleach you use?
whatever type is at my local grocery.
Anyone know whats up with the bleach? Im new to the game and trying to learn.
The bleach kills fungus, which chickens and rabbits are pretty susceptible too. However you can do this in many different ways.
@@KingsWildProject Thank you for the reply!!!
What a sweet helper you have there.
Does it need Sun?
not in the first 5-7 days. seed sprout is naturally under the ground anyways and not getting sun. They have enough nutrients in the seed itself to sustain it for the first week or so. I have a 7-day rotation on my fodder, so I'm feeding my birds the seventh-day sprouts.
Looks easy enough to try.
Great video! Thank you guys:)
Great video, though i was under the impression bleach does not kill mold?
I meant fungi
I don't understand the addition of bleach to the water. To me that seems horrible to add into feed. Can you explain what the bleach is for?
Kills fungi, that can wipe out birds, you could easily switch to vinegar (which I have) for a more non toxic version.
Very nice THANKS
Aren't you using a bit too much seeds?
I did this much and about half was just smothered and never germinated. Mostly tho ones underneath.
Bleach???? Wouldn't the resulting plants poison your birds??
thx for sharing
super

Thank you.
My barley first try turned out awful. Im just seeing this vid. Im gonna start out again tomorrow.
Hello you video OK
Cutest video..
Why did you add bleach? Couldn't you have just used salt instead?
barely seed crack for chickens ! LOL
Bleach? I'm not understanding why this is necessary.
why would put bleach?! bad idea

why bleach?. can't be good for ur chicken. or you.
Bleach takes care and kills any fungus or mold that might start growing. Chickens not so much but rabbits are very susceptible to mold.
