Composition of Chicken Scratch Grains?

[beavis]

I was just wondering if anyone knows what the basic composition of scratch grains is?

I understand it may vary from supplier to supplier.

Oats? Millet? Corn? Barley?

I took a bit and placed it on a plate on the windowsill with a moist paper towel over it to germinate if possible.

I think it would be fun to sow some of the chicken scratch in a section and then let the girls out to feed on it as it matures.

Thoughts?

Mainly cracked corn, but some mix in other grains. I mix white millet into my scratch, the girls really like it. You're not going to get cracked corn to germinate, the others might, though.

Here is a picture of what I have under the paper towels......

Yep, your right, cracked corn won't germinate and I don't care.
