So one benefit for FF (fermented feed) is that the birds eat less of it. Well I am testing this idea out.
So I have 43 birds in 3 pens.
30 standered hens, serama cockrels, serama roos and bantams.
3 ducks
And 10 seramas (3 hens 7 chicks)
Dry food:
The pen of 30 eats 4-4.5 quarts a day
The pen of ducks eats .75 quarts
The pen of seramas eats 1 quart.
And FF I have yet to test
Today I am measuring and giving FF.
Pen of 30 has 4 quarts
Serama pen has 1 quart
And duck pen has .75
I will give FF for 3 days straight measuring and recording feed amounts and reporting here. After this test I will average out the feeding amounts and then feed dry feed for 3 days then average the amounts and compare the 2.
If I add any feed to the pens I will post here or any left over after the day.
I feed purina flock raiser and just ferment that and add pellet vitamins.
For dry food I just feed the feed
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for me!
