I have been all through BYC looking up info for the past few months. So much great stuff here it is adicting! I adopted a mixed flock from a friend who was moving. Have Dark Cornish, White and Partridge Cochin, Barnvelder, Appenzeller Spitzhauben (my favorite), Golden Lakenvelder and a Black Sexlink. I have experimented with fermented feed and the girls were loving it when I was using whole and cracked grains and split peas. The started molting so I bought pelleted feather fixer to help. When I fermented this stuff it gave off an odor like baby vomit and they turned up their beaks at it. I stopped fermenting for now. Is this normal? Thanks in advance.
