I make my fermented feed in a 5 gallon bucket and feed only in the am and have no other feeders out. I feed about 3 cups a day. Most days there is a little bit of leftovers in their troughs by the time they go to roost for the night. I just refill my feed bucket with crumbles and water when it starts to get low.Is this the only feed you give them (besides like free ranging) or do you still need to give other supplements as well?
Do you just leave it out all day, fill it back up when empty?
I am realizing I may have been feeding my chickens all wrong-- I fill the hanging feeder, leave it out all day, and whenver it gets low fill it back up to the top. The fermented feed seems like it would have to be done in small batches?
