How much feed would I need for one day for all my chickens? Also do your chickens have access to dry feed too?That's the way I do it too. Easiest way. Not an exact science.
I'm not sure mine free range and I just give a couple quarts a day with oyster shell mixed in. They don't have access to dry feed either.How much feed would I need for one day for all my chickens? Also do your chickens have access to dry feed too?
So it sat for 11 days total? I would toss it out, partially because of possible mold and partially because it's not meant to sit that long. It definitely can get moldy if it simply sits around.So I made some fermented feed about a 11 days ago, it did ferment and I gave some to the chickens. Well the last couple days I've forgot to stir it, it also had almost no water, it went moldy. What did I do wrong? Did I need to stir it more and put more water in it? Its not much food but do I need to throw the whole thing out? The only mold I see is on the top, could I get all the mold off the top and give the rest to the chickens or is that risky?
