Is this the member that was saying food poisioning at first because that was not the case.I tried fermented feed for 7-8 months one year. I would not bother with it again. In warm climates, it is a mess, burning up the grass and getting slung everywhere, and I worried a bit about spoilage. In freezing temperatures it is frozen, and the 5 gallon buckets have to be kept inside to keep from freezing.
I switched back to dry feed, and on many days I will mix a flat pan of pellets with a lot of water to make a mash. They eat all of it, and the pans are washed out. Recently here we had a member who had a necropsy done and the state vet claimed the fermented feed caused the death. I would never go back to fermented food. When people use it I don’t like to talk them out of it, but I did not see any change in my chickens or in the amount they ate. It just made a huge mess, and I think some of my hens overate.
