Quick stupid question

There's some great threads on here to search regarding Fermented Feed that can help your feed go farther with your flock while they get most nutrient value out of it. It's a little bit of a process, but once you get it going and part of your routine it's not too bad at all--but the results would probably impress you. Helping your birds gain weight faster and more efficiently. I tried it for a bit this late fall until the temps started dropping and it was freezing before they ate it. Some folks use heated dog dishes to keep it warmer. I noted a little bit of frost bite though on my roos' wattles so discontinued. But probably will resume this spring again when temps are fairer--condition my birds back up for the spring and summer months so to speak. The yolks of my eggs during those two weeks of Fermented were HUGE by the way and the feed wasn't kicked all out and on the ground--waste was non existant. And I know this sounds weird but their poop wasn't as stinky. In fact the coop and poo boards didn't smell hardly at all. Kind of weird. Kind of amazing.

Yah. I like that picture. Their anatomy is fairly simple in comparison to other animals. You'll see they have no diaphragm muscle seperating the organ load from their lungs. So if held upside down or on their back their respiratory system is impaired.

Thanks for all your advice I found it really helpful
