Growing Sorghum for FREE Backyard Chicken Feed

- I feed my chickens a mix that has sorghum in it. Mine would eat all the other grains but sorghum. I started to let mine set in water for a couple days then feed them and they ate the sorghum. I even went back to feeling the dry and the ate everything but the sorghum again. Stay safe and good luck.
- Use none gmo and your good. Take in mind using compost in your rows. Any gardening takes time. It can be done easily and well. Nice vid but please mention none gmo seed.

- Can you use this sorghum for popping like pop corn?
- You are such an amazing Gardner with so much info for us all. Have you found something else to feed them, as what if we loose our food suppliers due to world events? Thank you so much.
- 6 years!wow!... I've learned you know how to grow everything. Except hair! Just kidding mate, keep it going!
- maybe they will eat it when it sprouts. My chooks dont like the wheat in the mixed feed, I find myself wondering what it might have been sprayed with.
- I’ve never seen your older vids! You have such luscious bangs 😂
- Guuuyeeei...
- 😷😁👍
- I was all excited to you call them Chooks. :(
- I was planning to use sorghum for my future plans of growing poultry feed but then turns out just like corn, they also don't like sorghum. I guess chickens aren't into grains after all unless they are dead hungry. Thanks for the heads up. I've been your subscriber for almost 2 years now? since I started farming back in 2019. I love your enthusiasm. Chicken feed has been a big problem for any poultry grower.
- If you ferment it, would it help?
- I know this is an old video but have you tried fermenting the grain, am wondering if they'd like it more? Doing some research on free chicken food and this video came up. Thanks Paul.
- Eat it yourself. Its wonderful.
- Pearl millet is also a good bird seed
- This intro was a trip
- I cant believe you dont harvest the sorghum stalk and make syrup!!!???
- If they aren't eating raw grains, you can actually "Prepare" the feed.
There's alot of chicken feeds that people take to fermenting here in the USA. Corn and some wheat come to mind.
That's effectively just soaking the grain for 24 hours before feeding it to the chickens.
People report that the Chickens seem more interested in fermented grains than raw grain, but i can't confirm or deny.
You could try "Parching" the sorghum, but that's more expensive and time consuming. You effectively "pop" the sorghum grain like corn.
- It looks like you would have more success if you scaled the kernels off of the head.
