How I Ferment My Chicken Feed (and Other Things I Add from Time to Time)
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 21 Apr 2019
In this video, I show you how I ferment the scratch grains that I provide to my chickens. I also discuss other supplements that I add to these fermented scratch grains from time to time, such as mealworms (for extra protein and fat) and yogurt (for probiotics). In combination, the fermented feed as well as the supplemental protein and probiotics has really benefited my birds in terms of both the quantity and quality of the eggs produced (e.g., I have noticed that the shells are thicker, more uniform, and have fewer blemishes and abnormalities) and in terms of their overall physical health. I also save money in the long run because the scratch grains swell during fermentation, thereby satiating my flock with less grain compared to dry feed.
