Alright guys. I'm getting ready to make a small container(Only have two chicks) of FF for when I get the chicks. What kind of grains can I mix in with the chick starter? non anacronymed please just to be sure I don't mistake anything. Like I have NO idea what BOSS is
You may ferment any feed, including starter feed, grower feed, layer feed, scratch, or any whole grain. (BOSS is black oil sunflower seed.) My 4 pound mature layers eat .2 lbs or less of feed per hen per day. (This is the weight before adding water to ferment.)
A simplified approach for chicks would be to ferment a non-medicated feed. Ferment a weeks worth at a time and then just scoop out what you need for one day.
