I have been fermenting scratch and peck feed the past 4 months and am unsure if the white stuff on top of the feed is mold or is harmful to their health. It smells normal (like beer kind of, that fermented barley smell). Please see photos attached.

From what I understand that is kahm yeast look here for more information on fermented feeds. I believe there is a part explaining kahm yeast.
Thank you so much, I read the whole article and it was super helpful. Definitely kahm yeast and not mold. Thanks again!
