What a great kid and a wonderful father. I remember my grandfather mixing up fermented oats for his pigs and grandma's chickens. I eat it myself and love it. Thanks for the video.
Great job teaching this kid!! I told my dad about fermenting oats for his layer chickens and that's all he feeds now in the morning and lets them free range.
Great job body and explained everything very well I just want to give you a tip. When are ready to remove your fermented grains from your bucket please don't throw away the water it's got neutrance in it . If you have any plants in containers like tomatoes you can feed it directly or if not you can mix the water with hay and make great compost after a week . Good luck you Guys
I always wondered about that. I guess that's a great way to save a lot of money on feed. I hope to have my chicken coop up by this fall, and this is great to know for when the time comes to feed them "grown up" feed. Thank you! Sheila
He's making large batches. It would be a pain to boil them on the stove! Using the heat from outside is a great way to ferment as much as he's doing. We do the same system and it's pretty fool proof!
sadly he doesn't know what he is talking about, it takes 21 days to get fermentation. he's doing what i do plus i add barley, milo and shredded beat pulp too. and yes unsulfered molasses is great, added in the mixing processes not the swelling processes.
Fermentaion isn't something you get to after a certain number of days, it's a process. As long as the process of breaking down sugars has begun, it is fermentation.
Great to see a kid so interested in something productive. He's going to be a real asset to the future of our country.
Thank you for showing us a good way to raise a kid. He is smart and dependable.

Teaching the kids responsibility for another living creature! Priceless
So impressed! Science teacher here, new off gridder learning how to feed my animals and this video was awesome! Good job dad😊
Thanks!

Great idea.
That kid is incredible!
It's awesome that you get to pass that knowledge down to your son. I had an uncle.
I had an uncle too

I have watched a lot of videos on fermenting and this is my favorite and most informative!!!
Smart young man! Thanks for posting this!
May I have some oats brother
Great kiddo! I'm going to try this.
What a great presentation
Should mention the smell of it how it stinks to high heaven
He is so cute💞
How long do they need to soak before feeding them to the chickens?
After about 2 or 3 days the water will get a little foggy, and it'll start to have a smell. That's when I feed it
Is he using whole oats with the hulls on that are usually sold in the horse section?
Yes 👍
Ty👍
Good work young man
Only water,it is possible sir??
Would you take the big feeders of crumble out of the run?
For how long I might suppose to let the oats ferment?
What kind of oats can you use for ferment because I'm getting back into raising chickens after 35 years
Do you strain the water off before you feed?
Please what is the name of the feed?
Are those whole or rolled?
OMG it's LASSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOrry, haven't even watched the video yet but dangggggg, Lassssssie! Haha!
Ferment is neat word...soak isnt so it's not cool to use soak
dont add sugar.. the sugars in the grain is plenty.. that will be sour as hell in 3 days
Put a piece of fruit in there.
Seth Rogan?
Dang it! Somebody figured it out, now I gotta shut down the whole channel!
why dint you just boil them on stove and let them cool...

no one ferments chicken feed for 21 days. the process can start within a few days depending on temperature.
What a great presentation
