Ok, I know I've seen the thread on Fermented Feeding in the past, have tried it but it's been several years since I last had chickens, need a refresher....Feed + water an inch above feed + ACV (1T) + mix daily = fermented feed....Adding feed to replenish? I also did the ACV (1 T) in the water (gal), think it was? What I can't recall is can this be done with Chick Starter? Egg Maker? I'm in Hawaii so don't have to deal with Winter weather :) Thanks for any refresher course.
 
Thank you. Most of what I've read were for "a lot" of chickens, I'll be getting 4 pullets (hatch Oct 14) so won't be needing much. The last time I made FF, used a plastic strainer (netting) which took forever to drain, read using "metal" not advised. Chick starter/egg maker is not so easy to drain as with grain, any advice?
 
I use a 5 gallon plastic bucket. Mix a gallon of feed and a gallon of warm water let it set for a few days til fermented, and feed. When It gets low maybe like down to a feeding or so I add another gallon of feed and gallon of water. Stirring everyday. I have been advised against metal or glass containers. I use my plastic one I got from firehouse subs.
