I get the bulk layer mix from the local COOP. It is primarily ground corn with added wheat and oyster shell. I just leave it in a 5 quart ice cream bucket beside the wood stove for 24 hours and always leave some of the previous batch in the bucket and stir it in well. They love it and eat every drop.Hiya, and welcome to BYC!!
We ferment too. I can't say what good it does like you can, but I know it's so very healthy and full of probiotics and prebiotics. What do you ferment, like their layer pellets? I do half Kalmbachs HHR and half 6-grain scratch with a tablespoon of Chia seeds per quart jar.
I used to make a mean ferment! I would add dry fishmeal, oats, and other goodies. Its super easy to add additives into ferment that your birds will LOVEI started fermenting my chicken feed 2 weeks ago and two of my old hens who haven't laid in several months have started laying eggs daily and one who was still laying sporadically has also started laying daily. My pullets are also laying daily now.
We ferment a whole grain feed with added fishmeal, and that stuff smells AWFUL the first day. Days 2 and 3 it smells fantastic. I don't get itI used to make a mean ferment! I would add dry fishmeal, oats, and other goodies. Its super easy to add additives into ferment that your birds will LOVE
