So, if you gave them free choice dry food also, you think they would ignore the FF, because that's what I'm trying and they clean up all the FF before they even think about the dry food.

This has been my experience as well. They view FF as premium. When I stop FF, they may go a day or two barely eating because they want the good stuff.

Perhaps the batch that burnt was over fermented? I normal use a combination of acv and yeast in my fermentation and only let it sit one day.

I don't strain. I only use enough water to be absorbed creating a very think consistency much like moistened feed, almost cake like. I rarely stir other than when adding more water and feed to get the old stuff mixed in and speed fermentation. I guess it's more a combination FF/wet feed?

This is what I do too. My birds are much fatter & lay much better on ff. I haven't gotten a single egg since I stopped fermenting this winter. I fed fermented all winter last year & had eggs coming out my ears.
 
These are full siblings. Platinum colored Sumatra rooster bred to a cinnamon colored wheaten hen. Intermediate size, 1/4th bantam, 3/4th large fowl. I'm working on a new line of Cubalaya bantams. The cockerel is more Cubalaya-ish and the pullet looks more Sumatra-ish. I plan on breeding from these this year.


 
I texted hubs late last night while he was at work to ask him to bring milk home in the morning. His response... "I think we need to get a cow" one minute later... "Wait that was a joke don't buy a cow! Forgot who I was talking to"

Love it! When I think of how much money we spend on Dairy products, it's made me consider a cow, but I think it demands a consistency and dedication that I'm not able to commit to. I find with the goat milk that it accumulates faster than I have the time to make cheese with it.

Both beautiful birds...amazing that they are full siblings with how different they look. Genetics are complicated.
