    How much fermented feed?

    I might try that as well. Or mix what they have been eating with some of the fermented....they didn't seem to excited about it this morning for the first try. Also, the fermented water I gave to my dog and he loved it. Great nutrition for his 13 year old body.

    Metal Shed for a Coop?

    Hello! I am planning for my first chickens (probably will get them early spring 2021). So I have this old metal shed and a perfect spot for a run and everything.
