I have never had a chick that was eating fermented feeds get coccidiosis. Can't make the same claim about other feeds.

I am another chicken owner who does not feed treats. I have never medicated my birds for anything other than coccidia, and then any bird that has to be treated for cccidoa is NEVER put in a breeding pen, I eat them. I do not use any antibiotics. All new birds are rigorously quarantined. I only...

The thicker the FF the better. Try putting less water in the feed.

Fly predators have to be spread in areas that chickens can't get to or they will eat the predators.

Not all dogs can eat corn. I have a min pin that is allergic to corn. Her hair falls out and then she starts gnawing/chewing herself ...... it gets ugly!

He is eating a lot of corn in the FF. Corn is not a good thing for some dogs.

It won't kill him, but, fermented feed is not a satisfactory diet for a growing puppy.

My feed consumption decreased by at least 40%.

The whole purpose of fermenting is to make all of the nutrients available for complete digestion.

It didn't affect the sex ratio in my hatches. I have always had more males than females.....

Fermented starter feed is still just started feed. So, no you don't need to feed them grit.

Grit is needed for seeds, whole grains and grasses.

That's pretty much how I do it. When I feed the girls, I leave a spoon full in the bucket to jump start the new bucket full. I keep three buckets going. So in three days it is ready to feed. Easy peasy!

You mention another thing people are guilty of, skimming the threads..... Why in the world would someone interested enough in feeding FF want to go to a thread on the subject, and then 'skim' the thread 'because they don't have time to read it all'? Is that how they do all of their...

Monkcat, I do add stuff to my All Flock before I ferment it. I am not very scientific how I do it, but I think I can explain it so you can understand it. And I am not being sarcastic either. I mix my feed by volume, not weight. 2 cans of All Flock + 1 can of scratch + 1/4 can alfalfa pellets...

Yes, a good sloshing three tears ago, no flogging since then! I put him in a wire cage right where all the hens could see him in all his soaked glory. Absolute mortification!!

Last time I mentioned dunking a chicken in a bucket of water, all hell broke loose. I had members jumping all over me! I did it to a rooster that wouldn't stop flogging me. It worked too! You and I are alike in many ways!

I use the big green christmas tree stands. I have been feeding horses and dogs out of those black tubs since they started making them YEARS ago.

I watch to see if any feed is left from the day before. If there is feed left, I feed a little less than the day before. The feed dish is a big plastic Christmas tree stand. The hens clean the feed up every day.

Young chicks should have feed all the time.
