Trying to Sprout Seeds

OK, they say it's easy to sprout seeds and make good wholesome fodder for your chickens.
So I'm trying my hand at it.
This is what I hope to end up with:


Here's what I have so far.  
I soaked my organic barley seeds for two days and rinsed them a couple times a day.
Now they are in the light of the window and are starting to sprout.
This is sort of like gardening grass!!
They are in the big container then I put them in three fat mason jars too.
Remember this is a test.
It it works, I'll be sprouting a lot more.





I took the chickens their treats for the day and added a few sprouted seeds in there.  They ate them up first.  Must be good.

So, that's my latest endeavor.
Well, this winter is taking forever to be done with!!!!!
