This presentation was absolutely the best about sprouts and fodder that I have seen. Thank you for sharing. I am now educated!! I'll be writing down that excellent chart. You guys are top notch!

Wow what a Great video! Excellent information presented in very understandable terms. ❤ I grow lentil sprouts in the winter for my chickens. I soak overnight in a mason jar with a screened lid. I pour the water off and put the lentils in a tray. I spray them with water twice a day. In just a few days the chickens have fresh sprouts in winter 😁🌱

Another excellent video guys!

I have been looking into this to hopefully save some money. So glad you guys put out a video on it. Now I have a great source for some trusted, reliable info. Thanks so much! ❤

Very informative, thank you

No experience with this yet but have been lookin into it. This was very informative; thank you.

Thanks for a fabulous video!!! So helpful!! We sprout brown lentils for our laying hens using 5 half-gallon jars. We cut scraps of window screen to replace the jar lids and use the rings to secure them. The process takes less than 10 minutes each day. We start by emptying the jar ready to feed into an ice cream bucket with a top to take to the chickens with their fermented feed. We then place 1 cup of dry lentils into that cleaned half-gallon jar and cover with 3-4" of filtered water, stir, and place the screen lid and ring on the jar. It goes in the back of the tray. Then we pour the water from the previous day's jar of lentils into the next jar's early sprouts. We pour more filtered water over the jar of soaked lentils to rinse them well and add that water into the same jar of early sprouts. We then pour the water from that jar into the next jar and then into the next until all jars are rinsed. Finally, we pour the water from the last jar onto flowers and other plants. We've found 5 days is perfect for our cool and dry environment. The day the final jar is fed, it has 1-2" sprouts that are turning green but have no leaves. The hens and baby chicks love them!!

Thanks for always keeping your videos so informative yet simple and straight to the point. I have learned so much from you guys that I actually use on the homestead.

Omg, that chicken is hilarious. The intro transition screen. 😂

It's so nice to see some non-zealous information. Too many folks either go whole-hog for any new idea, or go into mythbuster mode and try to disprove everything. By the way, how well do your chickens like the sprouts?

You guys are a goldmine of information. Thx so much !

VERY INFORMATIVE! Easy to understand. Thanks Fellas

So glad I found you guys - thank you

I just found your channel I like it. Thank you. I’ll be watching some of your older videos.

Great info Farm Guys. Thank you! I think I can do this.

I really like this because i just want the facts nothing but the facts and that's a fact

This is by far better than any other video I have watched on the topic!! And omg I’ve watched a lot. I was turned off going to the effort of growing fodder and was just fermenting grains and other things, but as we seem to be heading into a drought, I decided to start a fodder system for my chooks as the land is so dry and there is becoming less and less forage available for them, I figured it’s worth a go to add this into the mix:: we also have very old Guinea pigs who are basically just living our their days here… with no grass for them to eat in the paddock and the dry heat, I have kept them under cover and have been feeding them every day… I think they will enjoy the fodder and it will also provide extra hydration for them as well. This video showed up in a search when I was looking to see if I can add liquid vitamins to the fodder for the chooks. One of my ladies has been on the verge of being egg bound so I’m wondering if you could add some vitamin D and calcium into the water used for the fodder?

This video help a lot in my decision to grow fodder. Going to feed sprouts to my chickens.

I was interested in this for horses. Not feeding straight fodder in the winter, that would be prohibitively expensive, but supplementing dry hay with it to keep their moisture intake up. My thought was to cut down on the chances of impaction colic and prevent foundering on fresh pasture in the spring. All I have to do now is get my fodder making set up ...and my horses. LOL!

Great video and helpful

Nice information thank you

That fodder actually looks pretty tasty! Another terrific video guys..... Not sure if this is applicable but does Comfrey fall into this category or more along the lines of vegetables, greens and herbs? Merci beaucoup!

Sorry forgot to mention water dependency goes down since fodder is a lot of water try juicing fodder

So is the fodder good to use for animals needing supplemental hydration?

I don't think that this table be implemented on pearl millet... Is it...?

What about cows raised on grass. Using 9 different plants for grazing gives a very healthful greens.

Have any studies done by uc Davis or Cornell university

Somehow the dm value for sprouts seems totally wrong. Looks like a mistake to me and doesnt line up with typical data at all.

What about grass fed beef or horses
