Fermented feed

[jolenesdad]

48 hours... soupy consistency with no standing water on top. Is this film okay? It is actively bubbling, you can hear it and about two bubbles a second.

3rd day.

Actively super super bubbly.

Looks very gray to me. Perhaps that's just the photo. I'm still trying to get my ratios down. Still using too much water. Straining it is such a pain. I went to just a morning feeding since its get darker sooner their almost all in the coop by the time I get home from work but I'm not sure if I'm giving them too much. They eat every tiny dot I give them but it seems like so much food.

I get that same surface whether it’s barely moist or totally soupy. It’s a little darker when there is less water. @snow5164 have you seen this kind of film on yours before?

The film should be fine. The top layer can dry out a bit on the very surface especially if you don't stir it back down, and can look grey-brown and crackled. Was more concerned about the black spots but I guess that's BOSS?

Hi! I’m new to the fermenting feed gang! Is this white foam on top just the fermenting process or is it some kind of bacteria? I started this ferment just yesterday morning. It has kind of a tangy-sweet grape-y smell.

I just wanna make sure I’m not feeding my chooks something funky! This has been a crazy science experiment already haha.

It's looking good. Give it a good stir and let it keep bubbling away.
