Hi folks We have 100 layers here, hoping to go up to 300 next season. Feeding a mix of straights (oats, wheat and peas) plus supplementals (oyster shell & seaweed meal on free feed). We keep them using pastured system - an egg mobile moved everyday. Hoping to start sprouting at least 50% of their daily ration.
We are feeding 10kg (22lbs) of feed ration at the moment daily, and will be moving up to 30kg (66lbs) daily by the time we have 300 hens. anyone else sprouting at this level (or near it) show me your set ups!
Also wondering what the optimal sprouting time is, or how to judge it?
Thanks!
