I got my flock of 11 last June and I started fermenting their feed soon after I got them. I have been doing the Tikk Tok version with the back slopping. However, I just put enough out there to last the whole day. I don't feed any dry feed, but I do grow sprouts and fodder for them and through some bird seed and scratch out for them. They also free range pretty much every day for 2-6 hours. I recently got 4 chicks for a broody and they eat the fermented feed, too. I also feed them dry crumbles, but they seem to go to the fermented first. I used to feed Scratch and Peck, but then switched to New Country Organics because it was cheaper and I could get it locally instead of through mail order.
