I've been doing fodder for a few weeks now but only on a very small scale twice a week for my ducks and chickens. My goats won't touch it!

My goats were a little reluctant at first, but now they fight over it. Just keep offering and if they don't eat it that day, give to the chickens the next day. My chickens devour it. It's funny to see 30 hens fighting over it, fodder flying everywhere, LOL.

Where do you buy your seed? All I can find is regular grass seed. I was getting annual rye for $24/50 lbs. They are now sold out and the yard grass seed is $59/50 lbs. There has to be a cheaper seed to buy.

Just go to your local feed store and ask for "recleaned" wheat or barley. It will sprout.
