FERMENTING YOUR CHICKEN'S FEED IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TO HAVE HEALTHY CHICKENS. ANOTHER BONUS TO FERMENTING IS YOUR CHICKENS WILL EAT LESS AND THAT MEANS YOU BUY LESS FEED. PERFECT!
TODAY I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO FERMENT GRAINS FOR YOUR CHICKENS!
*Remember rate of fermentation is strongly influenced by ambient temperature. The number of days I ferment varies with the seasons. When the temperature is warm things progress rapidly and I only ferment 1 day. In the winter 2-3 days.
You definitely can strain the grains before you feed them if you are concerned about impurities from soaking the grains. If you leave a bit of grain and liquid behind in your container for your next batch, fermentation has a head start and will progress faster.
My chickens prefer fermented grains but I am always rotating the chickens diet with each season. We vary their diet so they will get vitamins and minerals from different sources. We think this approach improves overall health of all of our farm animals.
BEST,
