🐄Humane isn’t a label
🐄Humane isn’t a label—it’s a lifestyle. It’s in how you greet them each morning. In the feed you offer. In the decision to slow down long enough to actually listen to your birds. What did they say to you today?

How to Sprout For Your Flock
Save Money On Your Feed Costs Click here for a step-by-step guide to sprouting your own barley (or other seed) for your flock. In this video, we use a small-scale example to explain a process that can be scaled to larger operations. At Blooming Health Farms, we advocate sprouting versus microfodder because the yields are much higher with the amount of labor involved. Of course, the jar we use is not big enough if you have hundreds or thousands of birds. Therefore, we recommend growing sprouts with one of our larger engineered systems.

I assume there is less rinsing in the bucket version because it doesn't dry out as quickly?
SproutingOS in action
Hey peeps! Got an initial video up for those of you who wanted to see the sprouting system in real time. This is the same method we use every morning at Blooming Health Farms—refined over two years, now down to a 10-minute habit that keeps the feed consistent, clean, and crazy cost-effective. If you’ve been sprouting off and on, or wondering how to dial in a routine that sticks, this should give you some real context. And if it sparks questions…drop them below. I’d rather guide you through clarity than let confusion take root. This group exists to help you get further, faster. Let’s keep building together.

@Sean Short Ah, so a quick spray with the hose. You're just not using a hose. Got it. Was this the entire system you were selling for $3k?

Fair enough. Although with a mounted IBC you can have running water anywhere you want.
The Feed Store’s Been Lying to Us…
Alright...here it is, as promised and refined from some of your feedback so far. Behind the scenes, I’ve been refining SproutingOS™—the plug-and-play system we’ve been testing across Blooming Health Farms and in a few small flocks just like yours. If You’re Still ONLY Buying Bagged Feed… You already know what I’m about to say: It’s overpriced. So it's probably underperforming. It’s not even close to what your birds deserve. If you’ve been sprouting off and on but haven’t locked in a system that sticks, this is for you. The Full SproutingOSā„¢ Drop Is Live: āœ… Dual-bucket kit (no trays, no fuss) āœ… Step-by-step schedule & rinse map āœ… Seed ratio formulas for layers/broilers/mixed āœ… Mold prevention + savings calculator āœ… 40# Chicken Crack (2-months free to our Sprout Club) āœ… Access to the Inner Circle inside this Skool group for support It’s designed to cut feed bills by 30–50%, boost yolk quality, and make feeding faster than brewing your coffee. We’ve been using it at the farm to train youth, hatch new farmers, and sell $6+ dozen eggs that customers fight over. Your Offer (Just for the Pimps): You’re in this Skool group already, so you get the hookup: šŸ”’ $997 for the full system (vs. $3,154 in DIY cost) 🚚 Priority shipping šŸ’¬ Lifetime access to the SproutingOS threads here in the group šŸ¤ 100% Full money-back guarantee if it’s not a game-changer, and you don't even have to shi[ back the parts As I said in this post, I'm only making 20 SproutingOS kits at first. Once they’re gone, I gotta shut the coop door for this round. šŸ”— Grab your system: ThinkingOutsideTheSoil.com/SproutingOS šŸ‘€ Drop a comment below if you want to see my daily rinse/rotate setup

@Sean Short my good sir, surely you jest. Whilst I do believe you have worked hard and produced a good product. For that much I would hope I am purchasing the rights to the book rather than access to a digital product! Most digital books sell between $4 to $10 on average. For $300 I would expect a participation in a two day course, perhaps a one day intensive with buckets to take home. For $1,000 I'd expect a on farm consultantation - travel expenses on me. My honest opinion is that your pricing is absurd. Put together a 45 minute-ish video demonstration, put it on YouTube for all to see, price the blueprint at $10, and I shall consider. āˆ†āˆ†āˆ†āˆ†āˆ† Personally I'd recommend giving it out for free to attract my customer emails and sell something else.

@Sean Short you asked for honesty. I am a university student with 20 chickens in the backyard. Your offer is a week long course in exchange for 2 weeks of grocery money. However, incorrect assumptions. 1. I am very serious. Once I finish my degree I'm heading out to one of the poorest countries on earth. If I can reduce feed costs, I'd pay. 2. It IS your job to convince people of your value. If your system works. Prove it. All I see is some random post on a chicken based community board asking for bucket loads of money. Where's the demonstration?
Medicated Chick Starter: Fact or Fiction?
Medicated chick feed prevents common illnesses like coccidiosis, especially in crowded or high-risk environments. It's common in commercial settings, and chickens become dependent on medicated feeds. However, in well-maintained, low-risk conditions, non-medicated starter feeds may suffice. Chickens tend to develop natural immunity, but the risk of loss is greater. Understanding your flock’s needs ensures healthier chicks and saves unnecessary costs.
