I had thought that I'd have to thresh the wheat in order to feed it to the chickens, so it's nice to know that they can pick the grain out of the heads themselves. Besides, it will give them something interesting and rewarding to do. Thanks for the info!

I had a large rooster and when they were free ranging he would grab a stalk in his beak and bend it down for the hens to eat the grain out of the head. The wheat came from a cover crop that had been left to mature by one of my friends so all I had to do was cut the dry stalks with my scythe and store the stalks in my barn. each day I would throw a bundle into the tractor and let them pick the grain off. Minimal effort for maximum production.HansMassagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789848416034379910noreply@blogger.com
