Do you add or do anything special or different in your ff for your geese and turkeys then what you do for chickens?
Yep. Just stir it up, add water and feed. That amount of good bacteria will give you a good quick ferment with the warm weather.....careful not to over fill or your cup will runneth over. You could consider starting another bucket with your ferment that good if you need more feed each day.
It will mix with whatever is still cookin in the bottom bucket and rise up into the new starter. Stir well and let sit...the ferment will soak into and start to ferment the new stuff you added. I really didn't get to use the sieve action on this setup until I graduated to whole grains.
I've only read up to post 117 out of 16000+, so I imagine that this is answered somewhere along the way, but when I saw this, I thought I'd go ahead and use the quote...
So, I've only got 6 birds and I don't imagine I'm going to need to ferment very much at one time for them. We're still using Starter feed for them, so it should only take a day or so for the process to get going... do I really need a second bucket, or would it make sense to just scoop out what I need from a single small bucket and replace it with new feed and water each day?
Debbie - For the geese, no, they eat the same FF as the chickens. For the turkeys I will be using a 28% protein feed and not a 16% protein feed like I do for the others.Do you add or do anything special or different in your ff for your geese and turkeys then what you do for chickens?
