Because the fermentation process drops the pH of the feed. And the FF is loaded with probiotics. One of the reasons for using ACV with the mother is to give them the advantage of the probiotics it contains.

Thanks!
 
I have seen the ff thread, but honestly didnt want to sort threw the hundreds of pages. Have you guys noticed any difference in production?
 
It was just too messy and smelly for me. Also, I did it because people swore that their chickens like it better, but mine didn't. I tried it all last summer and fall, then went back to pellets in the winter.

The only place there was no snow was under a very wide eave that is over a garden bed under the bathroom window...where the flock liked to congregate and take dustbaths in the winter. Once I let them out of their coop.They are smart and I am lazy. It is a positive correlation. The smarter they get, the lazier I can be...

I also flung the FF out the same window. And I lowered fresh water in a bucket.

It was a cold winter.

Ok I have not finished reading the thread, but you are So much like me. I did that with my fish last Winter, open window, stick head out, fish got use to that and would get fed plus I get to make sure they were alive in their temporary house.
I am thinking my hens will learn the same this Winter ;)

Anyone ever 'warm up' their FF in Winter?

I've never warmed it up but I have been "Cooling" if off with a few ice cubes stuffed in it during this summer.
