A good active thread on fermenting feed; https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/644300/fermenting-feed-for-meat-birds
I differ from how some on there do it though. Upon much reading up on the subject from many other various sources I do not add ACV, adding ACV makes it go acetic acid ferment, sauerkraut is a lactic acid ferment, letting the feed naturally ferment is lactic acid ferment, which I believe is better.
A pretty good audio podcast on the subject also, warning, long and boring, but a lot of good info, I did a load of dishes, peeled a few dozen eggs and pickled them listening to it;

Yes I dont add the ACV...just let it ferment naturally

WOW! Awesome! Hope I run into him, hope he does tours when he gets up and running. Not far from me at all. Even plans on growing his own grains and hops!

You'd be shocked at what is in food if we knew everything. I don't recommend eating non fat foods or sugar free foods if the ingredient list is a mile long. Regular sour cream and cottage cheese has just two or three ingredients, milk, cream, enzymes. Non-fat....list is a mile long, mostly water and powders, gums, that TSP is in it, and white paint....

I am with you Beer Can...too much stuff in our food that is not food but chemicals and preservatives. Yuck!
