Here is another link I found useful. I picked this up in another thread but I don't remember which. This method seems to really simplify the whole process. I'm going to worry less about keeping the feed covered with water like this post suggests (meaning I'm not going to bother and see how it goes). I've noticed that the ladies don't particularly care for the "runny" mix when I get carried away with the water, so this will be easier on all of us.
I like the individual jars because then I'm cleaning them every few days and the chance of mold is gone. I remember being s new stay at home I lasted 8 months then I said either we have another or I'm going back to work!! She was too easy a baby!!
THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE I AM...BEEN HOME ONE YEAR. TIME FOR ANOTHER OR BACK TO WORK I GO!!
This is the easiest method I've seen

EASY FERMENTING FOR DUMMIES
I have 4 quart jars , numbered 1-4,I use the first one which has sat for 3 days , stirred it twice a day.feed the 1 1/2 -2 cups it makes to my 10 chicks am and pm.then wash the jar add 2 cups hot water, 1 cup chick crumble,And 1 TB apple cider vinegar (regular kind) stir and place it last in line.by the time I make it back to one its all fermented and smells like sour dough bread! My number labels are at the 2 cup level!
Bought a small strainer today so it's not so juicy, my 10 day old chicks are healthy and strong. They were eatting 4 cups of crumble dry and spilling most of it
