How To Sprout Lentils For Chickens
Have you ever sprouted lentils for your chickens? 🌱🐓 Here’s how to get started: 1. Pick Up Lentils: Next time you’re at the grocery store, grab a bag of lentils. 2. Find the Perfect Container: Use a non-airtight vessel for plenty of breathing space, helping prevent mold. 3. Begin with a Layer: Just barely cover the jar’s bottom with lentils. 4. Soak Overnight: Fill the jar with water and let the lentils soak until morning (about 8 hours) 5. Drain and Rinse: After soaking, drain, rinse, and leave the lentils moist but not waterlogged. Repeat this step twice daily. 6. Continue Until Ready: Keep up the rinse and drain cycle twice a day until the lentils are sprouted and ready to serve to your chickens! Why bother sprouting? Lentils, when sprouted, unlock a treasure trove of nutrients
