Sprouted grains as winter supplement?

[Back to Nature]

So I was reading that many animals, including rabbits and chickens, like sprouted grains. How long does a corn seed take to sprout in 32, 65, and 95 degree weather? I'm just curious.

Corn and popcorn are different.

I never have tried to sprout corn, I use wheat mostly, and sometimes alfalfa for my chickens. They seem to like it. So does my tortoise.

I.ve been sprouting wheat for sometime. Rabbits love it. I have cut my feed bill by 75%. Google wheatgrass or Barley grass fodder. There are a lot of people and a lot ways to grow it. A lot of people saving money using it as their main feed. I do use men blocks and I feed a little rabbit feed. I feed my Does all they want when milk is needed.

Barley and Wheat sprout in 2 days and is ready to feed in 6-8 days.
