This article is just the writer's opinion and doesn't give any scientific explanation on how fermenting processed feed improves an already balanced diet, especially if probiotics are already listed as ingredient in the feed bag. The concept that fermenting feed makes you save money is misinformation, because inflating dry feed with water and gas doesn't add calories to it.
Fermentation is great on whole seeds (reduction of anti nutrients, improved bioavailability of locked nutrients, whole seeds never rot) , fermentation is pointless or even harmful on processed feed (no anti nutrients in processed feed, no locked nutrients to unlock, all vitamins already available, often probiotics are already added plus as the writer stated it might rot instead of fermenting).
Processed (crumbles and pellets) feed already has all the nutrients a chicken need. The nutritional values are written in the bag. Fermentation changes the nutritional value of an already balanced feed to something we don't know. It is highly probable, from studies on other ferment like Kefir and kombucha, that the probiotic bacteria will consume certain nutrients from the bag to grow. Therefore, the author needs to prove, with before and after lab analysis, that processed feed, at least doesn't lose the nutrients stated in the feed label.
For a probiotic effect on chickens, it is much safer and more beneficial to add yogurt or Kefir to their crumble feed and make a mash, so you're sure that you're adding beneficial bacteria and you don't give these bacteria enough time to consume the vitamins in the feed, so the feed stay balanced as stated in the bag label, plus you have all the benefits of yogurt probiotics and extra protein.

Best rooster behavior information available on the internet.

I always encourage snakes to live in my property because they're the best solution to rodent problems.

This article proves with sources what I already figured out but had no proofs. I used to feed grains to my chickens because that's what my grandmother did. After joining this forum, I was told over and over that seeds were as bad as the devil. So I switched to layer feed because I want the best for my girls. After a few months on layer feed, I noticed the eggs started looking like the grocery store eggs, with thin shell that would pop when boiled, watery white and pale yolk.
I quickly went back to scratch, and I will never feed my chickens industrial food ever again.
I buy all the grains from a local mill, and the cereals are all farmed locally. I live in an area where 50% of the production is rice, so green whole rice is included in the mix of grains (no chicken and no pigeon ever exploded).
I also feed my chickens cow colostrum when available. Chicks love it and it's extremely high in protein.
Even with chickstarter readily available, my broody hen introduced grains to chicks when they were 2 days old: incredibly the chicks could already eat it without problems.
