May be I didn't leave it for fermentation long enough then. I mixed 1 1/2 gallon water + 1 1/2 gallon dry feed, together with left over fermented feed from previous batch, and left them in 5 gallon Home Depot bucket with cover, for 3 days. It smelled a pleasant alcohol at 3 days so I assumed...

So I've been feeding fermented feed to my quails for the last couple weeks now. To be honest I have not noticed less feeds and less poops. I haven't done a scientific comparison. It may have made a difference but definitely not 1/3 of the feed or poop as I read. And I have to fill the feed...

This is it. Pretty simple. I got some 2 x 2 1/2 hardware cloth laying around. The plastic bins are from dollar store, 50c each. Oyster shell and fermented feed. Works out pretty well.

You made me feel bad about the way I treat my quails, Sill :-) Your offering looks ... delicious! All I do for my quail is building a feeder that will supply enough feed for one week. Low maintenance. But I'm going to try fermenting feed. Just started a batch this morning. Should be ready...
