Fodder works..pretty much!

Well at first try we had a sour smell and horrific fruit flies.. After consulting with folks on a homesteading Facebook page I'm on I drilled many more drainage holes..rinsed more and..Voila! Nicely sprouted barley. Chicky approved!

Fodder System

We finally got every last teeny hole drilled and the trays are tilted just so.  We will soak barley seed overnight and start our system up first thing on the morning. Woo woo fresh barley greens for our chickens!
