Description

📗 Get My Complete Poultry Guides Here: https://angusdouglaspoultry.com/ Chicken feed prices keep climbing higher every single month. Feeding a flock the standard way is quickly becoming one of the biggest expenses on the homestead. In this video, I'm sharing a simple, old-school method my grandfather used for sixty years. It turns a single bag of whole grain into five times the amount of highly nutritious feed. By taking a $30 bag of whole barley or wheat instead of processed pellets, you can feed a flock of thirty hens for a fraction of the cost. The key is running a simple rotation that takes just ten minutes a day. I'll show you exactly how to sprout the grain properly to unlock its nutrients. I'll also cover the critical soaking and drainage mistakes that cost me my entire first batch to mold. If you're looking to slash your homestead feed bill and keep your chickens, goats, or sheep thriving on fresh greens all winter, this simple system is for you.
