Wholesome home-made chicken feed, without sweat, tears, a calculator, or deep pockets.

I'm one of the person who asked the author to write this article so I may be slightly biased if I find it wonderful. It is a perfect mix of the theory that led to choosing this way of feeding, and a detailed practical description of how it is done. The method in itself may probably seem not convenient in it's entirety for a number of chicken keepers who work full time or don't have sufficient space for their chickens to forage all day. However, I think it makes a convincing statement that considering real food as a treat potentially harmful for chickens and commercial food as the only safe and healthy way to feed them, is a rather biased point of view. I hope it will encourage chicken keepers in thinking that introducing diversity in types of food and not limiting strictly to commercial food can really be healthy for their flocks.
This matter is sometimes a heated debate on BYC (just like BARF diets for furry people has been when it began gaining popularity) and I think the article form is a useful way to explain things more in depth.

Thank you for writing this. It is a very thorough and well researched article (I am so glad you included the references).
I have known for a while that you make your own chicken feed but had little insight on what that involved.
I end up feeling that making my own feed might be more practical than I had originally thought - I may even give it a go as a result of reading this.
I did have questions about fermentation: do you do that to remove the anti-nutrients or for some other reason? And if the liquid contains the antinutrients, why do you sometimes use it to soak bread (did I read that correctly?). Finally, it sounded like you ferment it only over the prior 24 hours until you feed it - did I understand that right?
Anyway, great article. Thanks for sharing what you do.
