They free range but only on a small side yard not near what you have!

Ok that sounds worth a try. Can you explain it a tad further. Do I get that at a regular supply store? I've always just gotten the layer crumbles or chick starter.

I actually do put the FF in a small glass bowl. They smell it peck it and then wipe their beaks repeatedly then walk away or stalk me wanting something else!

Ya'll! I just cant get my 24 week older girls to eat the fermented feed! I have built a feeder that holds a few days worth of feed but the issue is it rains every day! With the wind the feed gets wet and I have to dig it all out. And re fill. (I even made a big "roof" cover for the feeder)So I...

It wasn't like the white globs I've noticed on other's photos, it was fuzzy and on the top of the feed. Mine isn't covered in water because my girls seem to like it more like oatmeal consistency. The fuzziness concerned me.

Quick question, I noticed a little bit of white mold like substance at the top of the container. I wiped it out, how do I prevent it from growing on the sides of the container if I'm back slopping and not cleaning the container every few days?

Thank you so much for your detailed response!! Great idea about the refrigerator.

I had a lid on it last week and never saw gases or that it was bulging...wonder if it didn’t ferment?!

Just started a batch for the big girls and the babies. Also do y’all use the ACV with the mother in the fermenting? Hopefully hey eat it this time. Should I not open the container until day three or 4? I open and stirred quite a bit last time. Maybe I’ll cover their feeder and see if I can get...

They have a homemade automatic feeder... so I have no clue!

For 2 chickens should I ferment like 3 cups and serve them one cup a day? Not sure how much they need... thanks for the awesome reply!!!

I tried FF last week. My girls would not touch it. I have 2 Buff Orpingtons 23 weeks old. I never smelled the "sweet smell",I fermented it for 4 days. We are using the layer crumbles by Purina. I also have 2 Cochin chicks that I FF with chick starter that did smell sweet and used it 3 or 4 days...
