Fodder is a nutrient-packed, living forage that’s full of hydration, protein, and fiber — and it’s one of the simplest ways to stretch your feed and keep your flock foraging happily. Here’s how it’s done: 1️⃣ Soak organic grains (like our Organic Barley) in water for about 12 hours. 2️⃣ Drain and spread them in shallow trays or repurposed containers. 3️⃣ Keep them watered and in a sunny spot until they sprout a few inches tall. 4️⃣ Serve and watch your flock devour their new favorite snack! 🌱 W

Did you know that fodder is really beneficial for livestock? I use fodder to feed my chickens and rabbits. You can feed it as a complete food source or as a supplement. Grains like wheat, oats, and barley can all be sprouted for fodder. Fodder is cost effective and high in nutrients. 45 lbs of organic barley can be turned into approximately 270lbs of fodder! #fodder #livestock #farmanimals #farmlife #homesteading #homesteadlife #theeastonhomestead #homestead #backyardchickens #chickens #poultry
