My chickens are going on 6 months old. Since I received them as pullets I’ve given them fermented food.
Last week we were gone for 8 days so had someone taking care of our animals and I just did dry food for the chicks instead of having someone do fermenting.
A few things I noticed when getting home I haven’t previously had:
1. Stinky poo. There are times it smells some but this time it was really bad
2. One chick had bad pasty butt and she’s never had issues before...coincidence?
3. Feather look less fluffy but then maybe due to heat here...but we have had warm days.
