    Note: I am just sharing my thoughts and what I do; others will do things differently. My girls were not particularly taken with dry crumbles and when I fermented them they did, as you mention, turn into mush. I know that some chickens like the mush but not my fussy little munchkins. I...

    There is a thread on Fermenting Feed (maybe more than one) but if you need a quick how-to .. I may be able to help; depending on the size of your flock. I only have a small number of chickens, 5 x bantams and I find the 'bucket' method overkill for such small eaters and I use the 3 days x 3...

    It's a deal, I promise to send pictures :) In return, you guys and gals can help me celebrate when my egg drought finally breaks. For a number of reasons, I have not seen an egg for 4 months. I'm thinking, if I am lucky, I might see one or two between now and Christmas ..
