My Greenfire order has been confirmed! They are due to ship the first of February. Now I just have to send the payment. $600 for six chicks Ah well, what can you do? I'll make the money back anyway.

Oh my. What breed are they?

Three ayam cemanis and three crested cream legbars I really only needed the cemanis and I ordered the legbars to fill the order out, but having a breeding trio of them isn't so bad.

I've debated putting in an order, just can't decide what breed is best for me. There's so many cool ones on there!!

After 3 - 4 days in liquid it should bubble when stirred..THEN it is then fermenting .
Once you have the fermented liquid when you add fresh mash and crumbles and pellets..it absorbs the fermented liquid ...
So it doesnt have to wait for the full 3-4 days...but you can if you want
. ..If you are fermenting whole or cracked grains ..they will not be fermented in 3 days.
With a lg container you take from the bottom & add more to the top ..whats on the bottom is more fermented
The one that is starting to smell ...IS FERMENTING.
add more water and feed ...and stir it every day

What on earth! $600 for six chicks! Are they made of solid gold?? What kind of chicks are these?

@Devona did you say you used unfiltered tap water for ff? That could be the problem if it's chlorinated. Three days is all I go with mash. Whole grains ferment the same. I don't use acv in it. A little acv can help lower the ph so bad things don't grow but you want lactic acid ferment like in sourkraut or kimchi, not acedic acid ferment.
Three days and mines bubbly.

Ok. Will try with filtered water

The expensive ones are ayam cemanis. Here are some pictures of my current stock:

They're gorgeous, and very expensive.

I can take my family on a mini vacation for $600. I will be content to admire their pictures, Pyxis, when you post them. Are you going to try to show them? Or only breed them? Thanks gramma. I thought the actual grain had to ferment each time. Now that you mention that it's soaking up the fermented water, it makes more sense to me how it can be used so quickly.

Both - they can't really win a show because they aren't an APA accepted breed but to get them into the APA they need to be shown so I probably will bring them if I'm going with my other birds. Yeah, $600 is a lot, but the eggs sell for $25 each easily, so I'll get the money back. I'm actually paying for them with money I've already made selling eggs from my existing stock.
