I’m considering fermenting feed to better manage some additional nutritional components of my birds’ feed … but therein lies my dilemma and questions.
My birds currently have free 24/7 access to feed in gravity feed feeders, but that won’t work with fermented feeds.
Is it better to give them free access? Remove normal feed when ferment is offered? Offer only fermented feed at set times? Provide both? any experience with this?
I want to minimize waste of course - we love these birds, but they’re not pets so they need to produce and I need to manage expense.
