Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

[zinia8]

Here's a question for you dedicated FF users and also those who tried and found it not to your liking....what do you find, if anything, that would/did deter you from using this method and why?  I'm thinking of issues like time, money, smell, etc.

Been feeding FF for over a year. Took the older layers a little while to come around to eating it. Started the SS chicks right away on it. No problems at all with them.
The only time it got really funky smelling is when I tried rolled oats in the ferment bucket. Don't know why but it stunk.
Buckets cost me nothing. I work in the food service industry. I have buckets of every size and flavor.

I also place in full sun (south side of coop) I move it to the east side the rest of the year.

Kassaundra can tell you that better than I! She has been keeping hers outside all winter and even lets it get a little ice in it. Right now we have temps of 30-40 at night and 60s in the day and my ferment is bubbling right along out in the coop. It's actually bubbled more at these temps than it has all summer long!

Makes life easier, don't it?

I don't know about you, but the older I get, the more I like life to be simple, cheap and easy, so I gear all the things I do around that concept...if it ain't simple, cheap and easy, I'll usually give it a pass.

you and me both Bee. I was JUST telling my sister that very thing! With that in mind I'm going to share a chicken recipe that I JUST shared with her. lol This is sooooo fast and easy to make and is soooooooo mega good to!! I didn't have fresh basil so I just used the dry. My word it's good! Also I really didn't measure stuff because I made more than a 2 serving because I LOVE left overs so I don't have to cook again soon.


Basil, Tomato, Chicken

4 chicken thighs (you could also use breasts)
- 2 tbsp butter, ghee or expeller pressed coconut oil
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 4 large basil leaves, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced



- Heat whichever fat you choose over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pan.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan.
- Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on both sides, depending on the thickness.
- During the last minute of cooking, add the basil and garlic. Give it a toss.

thank you!

HOW do you copy them though to put here? Do you have to have some where to store them or something?
