In a glass bowel you put a double daily portion of feed, you cover it +10 cm ( 4 inches) of water. You add one open capsule of probiotic pill or a full tbs of probiotic yogurt. You cover it fir 4-5 days. You should see bubbles(
) and fermentation in it. After this time you open and smell if the smell is nice acidic smell you give halve of it to the chickens add new feed to it ( the same as you used) an change the water. If it has an alcoholic smell in it trow it! And begin a new batch! You need lactic fermentation not a ethanol fermentation! Good luck!
2 things:
1. You can speed it up if you put in it a open pill of probiotic. Or a tbspoon of probiotic yogurt
2. You should always smell it it should have a nice acidic smell(= lactic fermentation) if it have an alcoholic smell (= ethanol fermentation) throw it and begin a new batch.!
