My chickens are spoiled! I'm now growing sprouts for them - all sorts of seeds - millet, alfalfa, mung bean, wheat, barley, clover and more. It takes 3-4 days to get them sprouted, and I got the cutest jar holder with fancy lids to do it. The lids are strainers so I just add water and strain it out twice a day, and then sprouts! I stagger the two jars so the one on the left is after 2 days and the one of the right is after 1 day. They get half a jar daily. I need to work on names for the chickens though - we definitely did not use our imagination. They are called Goldie (the gold Wyandotte) Silver (the silver Wyandotte) Red (the Black Sex-Link with a really big red comb and wattle), and Blackie - the other Black Sex-Link. It doesn't really matter, since they don't come when you call them (but they do come running if they think you'll give them a treat!)
