Easy, Healthier, Cost saving? Fermented chicken feed basics

I cover the basics in this video, but here it is in a nutshell
you can ferment chicken pellets,scratch or whole grains which is considered the most beneficial
-put your feed in a bucket and cover with water.....keep submerged as air exposure promotes mold growth
-stir often, twice daily minimum to keep gas pockets from forming
-keep out of direct sunlight and try to avoid extreme temps.
-you can feed at any point in the process but 3 days is the sweet spot by popular concensus.......the bubbling will slow as the fermentation slows.
-bubbling is normal and it smells like tangy plain yougurt.....if it smells really bad just discard to be safe.
-keep your feed clean....contaminates will cause your batch to spoil.....common things are rat urine and feces.

I hope this video and information helps,
