Fermented food??

What does this mean is it better for the chickens?

Meh, not in my humble opinion.

I like fermenting as a treat.... BUT the whole point of formulated rations is that they MEET the needs of chickens, nutritionally. Fermenting changes that SOME.

Fermenting adds in some probiotics, but many formulas already have them added if you read the analysis label.

Please note I fed ONLY fermented for about 2 years. NO major changes in my flock when I quit doing it. No significant savings in feed bill for me. But a significant amount of time spent providing FF to a flock my size (82+). Now I have free time to spare! And my birds are still JUST as healthy.
