How do you ferment chicken feed? Is it worth it?

[LoveChickens27]

My knuckleheads won't eat anything special that I make an effort to provide. Whole grain mixes? Pick out what we like and leave the rest. Fermented grains? Not feeling it. Sprouted grains? Meh. Chopped fresh veg? Take it or leave it. Mostly leave it. They're satisfied with what they forage and their regular old feed.

My chickens love those things... but chickens have their own diet or food they want to eat. LOL They maybe can eat tons of things but they don't want to. LOL

Well, what i do is i take a bowl and put:
Ground corn (called chyakhla in nepali)
Whole wheat
Raw rice, i use brown rice ( bhat)
Lentils of any sort (dal)
And oats of any sort
I soak it for a bit, making sure water level is above the feed in the bowl, then ladle it out to the chickens. They gobble it up very well. Similar stuff used to feed empires, and the kathmandu valley (before westernization) used to live off rice, lentils and ground corn porridge for centuries. These carbs and proteins powered farmers who tilled the paddies all day and gurkha soldiers, so it'll be awesome for chickens. Rice, to me, is the main part. Hope this helps!
