Fermenting feed

[McChooky]

We put ours in silicone loaf pans to drop some off at the various locations. I have six of them and some 8"x8" ones for the littler chicks. Reviewed here.

I tried fermenting feed once, and scratched it as I'd rather just feed them mash as a treat once in a while instead. I combine half Kalmbach's Henhouse Reserve, then add whole oats, whole red winter wheat, a tiny bit of flax and chia seeds all to make up the other half, then do it in quart jars. I stir it once a day and add water to cover it. Otherwise, we'll have fruit flies in it or it can mold. I only make about one or two jars a week in the summer, but more often in the winter.

I wet mash w/ some frequency as well. Helps conrol waste (most of mey feed comes as crumble)
