Very thorough and inspiring article. Thank you! You don’t mention how long to ferment, is the time between your evening feeding and next morning feeding enough to ferment the new jar? I’m also curious whether this one jar is sufficient for all 20 of your birds (plus the extras) for the whole day or do you have multiple jars going for each feeding?
Thanks for the great recipe

I'm glad you found it inspiring; thanks for the feedback. I use 3 jars in the summer, 4 in the winter, and feed one jar's worth each morning and evening, so 2 per day, and each jar typically then gets about 36 hours (less in summer, more in winter) to ferment. I don't stick rigidly to quantities, but rather respond to circumstances, so I put out more from the next jar if the flock has eaten it all and some are clearly still hungry, and put out less at the next meal if there's significant left-overs. Hope this helps.
