What people don’t understand is fermenting process is only to provide your animals with a probiotic enzyme. It is only a supplement. Due to the chickens won’t get all the necessary protein an crude fat they need, just from the fermenting feed.
Thank u fo this advice. I dint know that u can ferment starter feed fo chickens.
Very complete and thourough information; just what I've been hoping to find. Thanks and I will subscribe.
Thank you! You answered the question I had perfectly! ❤❤❤ I just started fermenting and my babies are like 3 weeks and they don’t quite like it 😂 so I’ll try mixing in the old feed with it!
You will kill the chicks or they will get sick on the long run. You never ferment chick starter
Very fantastic explanation, please would you show how you do it and your chicks.
So don’t use chlorinated city water because it will kill the beneficials, correct?
Yes, chlorine kills good and bad bacteria.
In Costa Rica due to weather conditions, baby chickens need medicated feed, is it possible to ferment the medicated chick feed?
Great info! Thank you!
How long does it keep? After 72 hrs.
Keep up that is good information
Keep up the good info
thank you
What about salt
When did you talk about the long feeders you referred back to?
Awesome
Oh dang, so if mine went above the water line, I should probably just throw it out and start over?
My broiler chicks refused to eat the fermented feed. Can I give my day old broiler chicks fermented feed water
Could you tell me how many days to take to proper size with farmented feed and what is the final body weight?can we provide farmented feed to chicken at night?
I have a question, so I got my chicken yesterday and it rained and got the food wet, he ate some this morning, how long does it take for the feed to get moldy? Will be he sick from overnight wet food?
No, probably not. It will take just a day or two to mold, unless outside temps are under 40 F. What I usually do in that case is put the feed in a fridge if possible. Fermenting it will help keep it for longer, too.
Hi. How often do you give the chicks fermented feed in a day?
I’m using whole grower feed now & it has some seeds that float…. Is that ok? Or do they need to sink too? Ugh 😑 I’m trying.:)
Can you ferment duckling food?
Yes, you can!
Living The Good Life With Backyard Chickens alright thank u so much for the info
Hi! When you feed your chickens fermented feed does that mean you do not give them dry feed 24/7? I’ve heard some people say they need access all the time.
That is the uneducated talking out of turn. Calculate the feed requirement and make each day’s feed three days ahead.
Fermented feed should not be fed as whole. It is only considered a supplement due to its probiotic enzymes. You still need to mix with other feed
Mine got mushy
But it smells fine
I see no more water
So do I need to start over with less water? Or is that ok
For chick…It should never be allowed to absorb/swell go above the water line. If it does, you didn’t have enough water to begin with. Add water daily as needed to keep feed submerged always. Like she said in the video, feed will absorb the water so weighing the feed down with a plate and keep the water level higher than the feed can swell or absorb will insure the feed is always submerged.
Do you feed the fermented starter once a day or do you keep your feeder full the same way you do with dry starter?
You can do either. Some people top dress the regular feed 1x daily, others offer it all day long. The only issue with offering it all day long is that some chicks object to the texture and it can get really messy. I personally go with the top dress method. Hope this helps!
@@pamperedchickenmama Thanks! That's helpful.
After famented for 3days how many days it can stay for feeding
Ferment an amount your chicks can finish in a day, after three days of fermentation, for efficiency you need like 4 buckets, that you can interchange, rinse then put in another food to be eaten after three days. Once fermented, soak of the water, feed the chicks. Remember the feed almost doubles in size after fermentation, so slightly reduce from the normal dry feed, adjust accordingly as your chicks grow.
@@GRCRUAICHURCH Thanks very much Ma,. Please can I also feed 2 weeks old Broiler famented feed.
@@mtechlinkmusic9ja992 Yeah, trick is to keep it from smelling foul which isn't good by stirring the mix atleast thrice a day, smell should be a non pungent smell, not too strong, you could start with one day, two day, three days, see which one the chickens prefer. Mine prefer two days fermented feed, they didn't like the three days one, lots of left over plus it had a stronger foul smell than the day two. But I come from a hot climatic area, hot areas ferment feed fast.
@@GRCRUAICHURCH Thanks Ma
I’m sorry but 72 hrs of fermenting chick starter an it will go sour causing the chicks to get the greens. Chick starter is recommended to only soak it till you get it oatmeal thick. This video is not helpful at all. I soak chick starter an 5 grain scratch.
answers no questions so no sub here
You could have given this TALK on radio or something. television is video, my dear. We don't want to hear you talk non stop without visuals. You Tube should take notice of such stuff... It's just publicity for a big, close up face all the time. Boring!
Wow. That’s so encouraging. How about a simple, “thank you.”?
Perhaps make your own “perfect” videos!
Some of us LISTEN to RUclips while doing actual work with our hands, my dear.
