Oh Ok.. Just wasn't putting the mother together. I would refer to it as culture, like when making yogurt or cheese. I do not ferment feed but have read that peeps just use their crumbles and add water. After 2 or 3 days it is ready. Then you use half of it and add some more to your batch. You probably should not use the medicated feed to start. The medicated feed is probably Ok to add after it is going, since the medication is not an antibiotic. I forgot what the medication is since I never considered using medicated feed.
