Fermenting pellets

[Lisa08]

So I read you can ferment the chicken feed. Does anyone do this ... Whats the best way and how long does it keep? (Im asking because my chickens dont like the pellets and I bought a 50lb bag that I dont want to go to waste .. So Im hoping to get them to eat is as mush!) Thanks

Very easily - I use 3 plastic salad containers (the ones that organic mix comes in). Add however much pellets/food they will eat in one sitting to the container, add water so it is at least 2-3 inches above the food, loosely cover with the plastic top (you can also add a splash of apple cider vinegar to help things move along). Let sit. The next day repeat the process with container 2. Let both containers sit. On day 3, begin the process with your 3rd container but open container 1 and pour a little bit of the liquid into the 3rd container. Drain off the rest of the water from the 1st container and feed to the chicks. All done!
