I'm using starter/grower and scratch right now

I showed my dad it was growing He rubbed his chin and said "just looks like worms to me"

My bird seed is sprouting!!! It still smells awful..but atleast now it's doing something!!

Well I can answer some of your questions but there is also a thread for fermenting feed as well that will be helpful. Just type fermenting feed into the search bar and click the one that says for meat birds. It's actually for everyone If you go to your feed store and ask for wheat they should...

Fermenting feed and growing fodder are two different things. Which are you interested in doing?

Ok thank you. I'm just using bird sees for now because it was given to me. If all goes well though my next batch will be wheat

They are about a half an inch thick. I rinsed 3 times yesterday but I'll do more today. I don't see any mold

Ooh well we grow them all the time and when they start to sour the chickens get them. Now that I've moved the trays outside there are flies all over them. Is that ok? And they still smell awful

Mine smells like sour watermelon lol

Ok thanks but I may have to move it outside cause it is quite smelly especially since I started rinsing it

I just started draining my bird seed after its 24 hour soak and it smells slightly sour. Is that normal?

Haha well thank you

I just read and it that was very helpful! I've been looking into giving my chickens more nutrition because my older hens have been losing feathers for months and I'm trying to find a solution By the way my dad already thinks I'm crazy cause I'm a 18 year old girl with 60 chickens as her best...

Haha well if it works maybe he won't think I'm so crazy! My next project is fermenting feed..wonder what he'll think about that lol

Ok thanks y'all. Fingers crossed this all work. My dad thinks I'm crazy cause I have trays of wet bird seed "growing" in my room

Sorry for the double post but I just thought of a question Once mine are done soaking tomorrow and I'm just watering 2 to 3 times a day. Would it be best for me to literally soak and drain them or just mist them with a spray bottle or water with like a watering can? Just curious

Haha I can imagine

Yes that is my 6 yr old golden retrievers crate. She's pretty mellow so I think she will leave them alone :) or else ill have a big mess lol

I'll probably just leave them there. But I can set them up on pencils or something so that they drain into the trays that don't have holes

I think I'm gonna try them in my room first Here's what I've got set up Should I cover them with something or leave them alone?
