@hens_and_honeybees_: I get this question a lot across our platforms! How do you ferment chicken feed? Well, I’ve got you covered! I will say, using a feed like one from @Scratch and Peck Feeds always seems to work the best! And yes, my ducks loved this too! #chickens #pnw #farmlife #homesteading #gardening
we did this and our chickens lost so much weight. 😬🥺

But what makes it healthier and what kind of feed is it that you’re fermenting? That doesn’t look like it makes more or anything so how does it cut the feed bill in half?

If you add red pepper flakes they lay more and the yoke is more golden.

doesn’t make any sense. They need the calories and calcium which is not changed by adding water

sounds like a good idea for people with small flocks. I wpuld need 3 barrels per day... that seems like a lot more work.

this is fine for early spring/fall but in summer they can get sour crop from this, the heat in summer allows it to continue to ferment inside their crop and can 💀 them. i only know because ive seen my mom make that mistake

I'm curious about the actual savings here. A half-gallon Mason jar holds 8 cups, but if you put 3 cups of dry chicken feed in it and add water until it expands to 6 cups, you still only have 3 cups worth of dry feed. The extra volume is mostly water, not additional nutrition. Chickens need calories and nutrients, not just volume. Fermentation might improve digestion or reduce waste, but how much less dry feed are your chickens actually consuming while maintaining the same egg production? That's the math that would prove whether you're saving money.
