Oh thank you! This makes me feel A LOT better!!! What is "too hot?" I have it in the house and in the summer if we don't use AC it can get 80 degrees inside, is that too hot? Thank you!! I just mixed in some fresh feed, water, and more ACV into the mix of 3 day old feed. I didn't know to just add more to the existing. I thought you were suppost to take only a cup of old feed and mix it with new.FF won't go bad...it's preserved, much like vinegar will preserve green beans for months. But FF is a live fermentation, meaning that unless the temps are hot or cold enough (to kill or slow down the process), it will continue to produce more lactic acid and get more sour. It could be your birds are reacting to it being too sour for their tastes (I have some birds like that). In that case, you could simply mix a day's portion of your over-sour FF with some dry feed (with or without a bit of water to wet the mixture) and see if they like it better that way.
Should I be adding new ACV each time I add more feed and water? Thank you!
