    What do you prefer to feed chicks mash or crumble??

    I feed both Scratch & Peck starter mash fermented plus a "hatch-to-hen" crumble dry. They start with crumble the first week or so, as it's easier for me to leave them with dry crumble around the clock. Once they start getting let out to spend time with the adults the fermented mash is...

    How do you ferment chicken feed? Is it worth it?

    ^^^ I think that the confusion arises from fermenting whole grain feeds (some of which are created/blended by the chicken owner; the others from a bag) vs fermenting already-processed chicken feed, like pellets or crumbles. It’s very helpful to ferment whole grains. (Whole grains = you can...

    How do you ferment chicken feed? Is it worth it?

    Maybe fermenting whole grains is better and more nutritious but fermenting chicken feed brings out the nutrients and nutrition more and plus the chickens like it more. :)

    Isn’t fermented feed alcoholic??

    What I want to know is why you decided to drink fermented chicken food fluid (I'm mostly joking)

    @Perris what do you think of something like this, for fermenting chicken grains? I am looking to improve my operation. :-)

    For those who ferment: how do you handle (human) vacations?

    I copy this from my article on home-made feed to answer your question: fermentation has begun as soon as bubbles can be seen rising through the grain to the top of the liquor, which becomes slightly cloudy as starch and so-called ‘anti-nutritional compounds’ in the grain are drawn out of them...

    Fermenting Food- Stopped laying!

    Interesting. I was soaking the wheat for about 5 days, so it was fermented and my chickens slowed right down with their laying. That was in summer. Going in to spring now and they are just starting to lay and I was thinking of trying it again once they were right in to laying and see if it...

    Can chickens safely eat soaked/fermented beans?

    ...beans before adding them to your chickens' feed. I normally feed my birds a homemade mix of raw grains which I soak in water and allow to ferment. I've been doing it this way for years using just whole grains and peas and have never had a problem - at least none that I could trace back to...

    For those who ferment: how do you handle (human) vacations?

    Why would grain feed need to be fermented? It seems easier to just scatter the grains over the yard before a shower of rain, for them to ferment then be eaten by the chooks while foraging?

    How much fermented feed per bird?

    ...on measurements. Just pour dry feed into a five gallon bucket and cover it with warm water. Add a splash of ACV to start it off. This initial ferment takes about 36 to 48 hours. Then you feed one cup per chicken per day. Some chickens eat more, some less. It's not high math. Save a bit of...

    Fermented feed vs crumbles/pellets

    ...non gmo food? And do your chickens prefer pellets or crumbles? I know chick food only comes in crumbles. I've read many mixed reviews on fermented feed. I like the health benefits it seems to give, but does it really make chickens eat less/make the bag of food last longer? And does fermenting...

    Can you refrigerate fermented feed to stop the process?

    what sort of feed were you fermenting? If it was whole grains you could just have rinsed it thoroughly.

    ...than I should be: a newbie did a necrobump on a 2020 thread, telling DobieLover that she didn't know what she was talking about, and that fermented feed was alcoholic, and she got buzzed when she drank it. And sort of doubled down on an additional old post. I really shouldn't laugh...

    Crazy fermentation question

    Is it possible to use SCOBY, the liquid part (filtered to remove any solid matter), to "kick start" a sourdough bread starter?

    What do you think about this feed brand? (Scratch and Peck Organic Chicken Feeds)

    I use S&P whole grain mash (currently feeding starter) but it optimally needs to be fermented or the birds aren't eating most of the fines that contain vitamins and minerals. Their pelleted feed removes the need to ferment but are more expensive.

    Isn’t fermented feed alcoholic??

    Back in university, some students in the lab ran an experiment to see how long it would take fortified hummingbird nectar to ferment outdoors, and whether it would produce alcohol—and potentially get the hummingbirds drunk. They discovered that the natural presence of wild yeast in the...
