I've been fermenting some lay pellets for a few months now, but recently I've noticed the consistency of the mash has changed. It was more watery before, and I used to be able to use a regular kitchen strainer to scoop it out. But now its gotten really slimy. The slime is so thick that the strainer doesn't help at all. I can't separate the slime from the mash, and now its just a gross slimy mash. I still feed it to the chickens, and they eat it, but I am concerned if this is OK, or has the fermenting gone bad?
Anyone experience this before?
I noticed this started happening when I started mixing in some hen scratch into the fermentation batch. Don't know if that's coincidence or not.
But I've since worked through the hen scratch, and all I have in there fermenting is lay pellet.
