Thank you for this. I bought my first 4 hens from a reputable breeder two years ago, they are nice examples of their breed and sweet temperaments. My neighbor talked me into taking 3 chicks from his 6 chick minimum purchase. They were sold as Ameraucanas but after reading your article it is apparent they must be Easter Eggers. Yellow greenish legs and feet, they’re are only a couple weeks old. It’s no issue to me, healthy and friendly is my biggest criteria.

You CAN do this...I ain't the brightest crayon in the box and it has always worked for me! If you have any questions or problems, there is a Mama Heating Pad thread and lots of people there to help. I am traveling extensively this year, so I'm not on BYC as much as I used to be.
BReeder!
I have 7 chickens. Last year they were all under a year old. I will likely feed 2 quarts per day now that they are all big hens and we are hatching more chickens and some turkeys. We always offer dry feed in addition to the fermented, so you could say it is supplemental. I try to ensure that the fermented feed makes a significant portion of their diet though.
We plan to start fermenting again soon since the weather is turning better here in Illinois. Pictures will be coming soon.
