True grit like John Wayne? I'm sorry I saw that and immediatly thought of that movie.....
Meal worms are easy I bought a tub at the pet store and am using an old ten gallon aquarium. I keep them outside under one of my coops, I fill it about eight to a quarter full with oatmeal wheat germ corn meal and chicken feed, for moister I throw in vegetables and fruit and potato scraps on occasion other than that they do very well on there own.
Didn't say you should avoid them. I said if you avoid FERMENTING them...fermenting fishmeal smells like a dead body on the side of the road that has laid there a few days in high temperatures...so - yeah, I prefer to avoid meat byproducts in my ferment.
I am still working on finishing off the last of my H&H feed (which has fishmeal in it)...after that, I'm on my own mix....My own mix is two part. The parts I ferment: grains, seeds and legumes. The parts I add after the fermentation: nutritional yeast, ground meal worms, powdered kelp, spirulina, dried skim milk and supplemental vitamins and minerals.
I've also supplied the link to a Pearson's Square calculator that I'm more than happy to provide again for people if they would like to have it.
Sounds like fermentation success!!I bought some starter crumbles from a local mill and put it in a ceramic crock pot crock. I crushed up about 4 probiotic pills and added it to the feed then added 100-110 degree tap water that I had boiled. I also added a pack of live yeast which I had fed and watered. This was Wednesday night. I have been stirring and adding water as needed. Thursday the water on the top started getting milky looking. The feed was bubbling a little before I even stirred it. It smells like a a mix between Timothy hay and pizza dough. Does this sound about right??
So is it ok that I used yeast? Someone said that they thought you aren't supposed toSounds like fermentation success!!
...yes, it is more than fine to use yeast....So is it ok that I used yeast? Someone said that they thought you aren't supposed to

Please do post that link again. Lawdy! Lawdy! I remember back in the day balancing rations "long hand" with the charts, a pencil and a calculator! Technology can be great.
