    All Flock Higher Protein Feed vs. Layer Feed

    20% all flock and calcium on the side is how my heritage flock gets fed. Plus i ferment a couple cups of ferment and give human leftovers to the flock for variety.

    Is fermented getting my chicken inebriated ?

    Been fermenting feed for a year or two now. Mostly let it set for 2-3 days. Wondering if it becomes an alcoholic beverage/food for my flock ? Are they all drunks now ? Do i need to do an intervention or start AA group for these hens ?

    Camera?

    I have two wansviews in my coop. Both aimed at the nesting boxes. They have batteries in them but i have them hooked up to solar panels that keep the batteries charged. I love them and check up on my girls regularly. My coworkers catch me checking up sometimes when the hens are loud lol

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    9 from 12 today. I suspect one is going broody as she slept in the nestbox. *late edit. Found another egg in the nestbox. I shoo'd the hen out of the nestbox and took out aĺl the fake porcelain eggs so she had nothing to mother.
