Helpful hints for building coops

I haven't fermented chicken food before, but I might try it. I ferment tea (kombucha) and love it.

I feed a mash a local farmer mills. Mash originally was meant to be soaked overnight I have heard. So it's easy to go a step father and ferment. Although when I had crumbles and pellets I fermented those too. Supposed to be better nutrition, Less waste and if they dump the water it's not as big of an issue. Turkeys and CX poop doesn't smell as bad either.

Well I got lightheaded butchering a roo and a cockerel. They were supposed to be harvested at Thanksgiving and early January, but I was sick and didn't get to them. I have 5 more to do.
I have been eating about 10-11am. I think that was part of it, because I felt better when I ate some yogurt. That was after laying on the ground until I didn't feel like fainting. But when I was done I checked my BP and right arm was 88/57 left was 117/ 70. That can't be good.
I did get them done though, not pretty but will work.
The others can wait

I hope that was an error.
Better see your doc.
Food and water are essential, don't scrimp

Oh no, you should always have something to eat before tackling a task like that! Hope you are feeling better.

I don't really have any interest in fermenting feed, but that was informative. Thank you.

Any, who don't, If you don't mind my asking. Why?

So far, I've done a little of it. Not enough to know if I want to keep doing it.
