HOW TO FERMENT FEED FOR CHICKENS OF ALL KINDS

I plan on fermenting feed as well. However, the LACTO fermentation, not lactic (Apple cider w mother). LACTO is the probiotic needed.
The question I can not find the answer to is, HOW much feed to give. I have seen posts where people reference feeding the fermented feed once in the morning and once in the evening. So,if a hen needs, on the average 1/3 pound per day, Is this being split into two?

For those that feed ff once per day, is dry feed left out all day?
Man, I have a lot to learn, lol!

I feed FF feed and do not use AVC or brown sugar...
I do NOT leave out dry feed.
 
Here's a site that will list the benefits of it and what a lot of people are experiencing with FF: https://tikktok.wordpress.com/2014/04/13/fermented-feed-faq/

TikkTok is a BYC member who compiled FAQ and information about fermented feed from the two larger threads on it here on BYC. Her site is the most accurate you'll find on the practice.

thank you for such great info! I just inherited 4 young hens and am learning so much from this site. Love it!! Still learning terms so forgive me if there is no such thing as a young hen. I love them already though after 2 weeks.
