Aloha!Like Chad I've been using Scratch & Peck starter and grower as it's local to me and thus easy to find, plus I like that it's organic and minimally processed. I do recommended fermenting it as chickens will pick through it for their favorite bits and otherwise not eat the fines, which is both wasteful and nutritionally off balance, as some of the vitamins and minerals are in the fines.
I don't have any experience with Hilands brand so hope someone else can weigh in on that.
How did you do the fermenting and once ready to feed how much did you give?
I’m new to owning hens and been using SP since day one. From starter to grower to layer. I have 6 on starter, 7 on grower & 5 on layer. All because of their ages. I can’t stop buying the baby chicks
