Wet Food

[SheeReno]

So our porch sprung a leak and our grower feed got soaked!!! I obviously moved it but don't know if it's going to be any good now, don't want to lose 3/4 of a 50lb. bag!

If you feed it immediately- that is ok (like making a mash), but if you can't you will need to throw it away- it will mold fast- and feeding that out will likely make your birds ill. If you have a big oven you might be able to dry it out in batches- but I don't know if that would damage/inactivate some of the vitamins, and probably risk a fire... so feed it out, or throw it out. If it is not medicated- you can feed grower feed to adults for a short period of time. If you have a bunch of birds, they could eat the damp stuff up in less than the mold growing time of 24 hrs....

Lose the feed!!! Lose the feed!!!

If it's gotten even a little damp it will be a great place to grow mold or mildew, and some of that stuff can kill your birds.

MUCH cheaper to lose a bag of feed than half your birds.

Speaking from personal experience.

It will mix into the compost heap if you have one and really give it a boost!

OK thanks for all the help!
