Hey Joanmcm, I have been looking into this fermented feed idea. The threads on this site are extensive and I am getting confused. would you mind terribly giving me a run down of how you do it? Can it be done just for layer hens? How old should they be when they start? How many times per day? do they still get regular feed along with the fermented (different time of day maybe)? How do you even make the stuff? the recipe I saw called for feed (whatever you normally use) and water and apple cider vinegar (what kind? organic?) and let sit in a covered but NOT sealed-shut bucket.
its just that there is a long thread for meat birds and then a layer thread that directs you to the meat thread because it touches on the topic and its taking so long and everyone has a different opinion. I figure whatever you are doing must work for you so... help? lol sorry to put this on you (or anyone else who wants to answer) I just don't know and I want to do what's best. what is even the benefit of fermented feed? better egg production? better eggs in general? its overwhelming!
