@Beekissed haha that is awesome! I love hearing what other people do and don't do for their chooks...i figure if their chooks can survive then mine will too!
Have I mentioned the absolutely awesome results I have experienced from using fermented feed? My chooks put on weight and their feathers are glossy. Their poop stinks less and they are so much happier. And I use less food! There is no wastage or spillage and the amount of food they need to eat...

What is the best way to store this?
I have read there is a maximum time for fermenting of 5 days. In fact, I have read a whole lot of stuff that all contradicts each other...I don't really know what to believe! Some say aerobic, some say anaerobic. Some say there is dangerous alcohol in the fluid, others say it is fine...most say...
It has been slim picking since the food bag got wet and my poor chooks have had to make do with whatever we can scrap together....but today is Day 3 of the fermented wet feed and it smells great! I just put some out and the chooks were happy to receive! So a bag of feed has veen saved! There is...
I mixed some up and added some acv...and noticed the similarity in smell to the wet crumble...this makes me hope that it will ferment fine!
I mean, if it works, I have saved an entire bag of feed...if it doesn't, i made a mess...no real loss so it is worth a shot.
I have been wanting to try...
