    Fermenting chicken feed, Good idea?

    Rules of thumb are meant to be guidelines at best.. everyone's set up and circumstance is unique. ONE of the links I posted stated that once the ferment drops below a certain ph it becomes LESS palatable to the birds.. I witnessed it myself.. it isn't training them anything really. It might...

    Thank you for the trying to to be helpful and "save lives"! :hugs However if you read my comments you would see... A) I think FF is over rated and don't do it ANY more. B) When being stirred once or twice per day.. it stays moist and there isn't enough time for toxic mold to grow on the...

    Fermenting chicken feed, Good idea?

    Stirred daily, yes. Water on top.. meh.. I don't see the logic behind it! And it had zero relevance for me.. and also shown by folks who've done it long term on several of the link I posted. :cool: It molds if the bacteria runs out of "feed"... Noting I already also stated there is a...

    Fermenting chicken feed, Good idea?

    I did FF only for a flock of 82.. for 2+ years.. because of all they hype.. I saved NOT ONE dime.. and wasted a whole lot of time. :rolleyes: It was fun to try though. If saving money is your goal.. there are better ways in my experience.. Just going to the right store can save me more than...
