Alysha Whitfield | Bee Jeweled Coop on Instagram: "Have you ever sprouted lentils for your chickens? 🌱🐓 Here’s how to get started: 1. Go Grab Yourself Some Lentils! You can find them in almost every grocery store. I got these at Target. 2. Find the Perfect Container: Use a *non-airtight* vessel so you’re not trapping the air. You want to create a terrarium-like environment and prevent mold. This jar is from Homegoods— it’s a noodle storage container with a sealed/locking lid. I just took those sealing parts off so the lid is loose. 3. Begin with a Thin Layer: Just barely cover the bottom of the jar with lentils. They’ll eventually grow out of the jar if you add too many. There’s also a greater chance they’ll mold too. 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 and rinse the lentils. Note: make sure to drain ALL the water out from this step forward! No more soaking or else they’ll ferment 🚫 6. Repeat Step 5 DAILY: Keep up the rinse and drain cycle 1-2 times per day until the lentils are sprouted. 🌱 Why sprout lentils? Sprouted lentils unlock a treasure trove of nutrients, making them a super healthy snack for your chickens. They are rich in vitamins and minerals that will aiding in your flock’s overall health and egg production. In a season where greens are often nowhere to be found, these sprouts are a great addition to their diet. … and humans can eat them too! 😋 💡 Make sure to save this for later so you can give it a try. #healthychickens #happychickens #backyardchickens #chickenkeeper #sproutinglentils #lentils #sprouts #chickentreats #chickenfodder #chickenlady #petchickens #chickenkeepingtips #growingsprouts"
