A 50 lb bag of feed usually lasts me about 6-8 days served dry. I would long to be able to feed my chickens organic, non-GMO pellet but it just wasn’t in the budget. They roam all day so they’re getting as much organic matter as they want, but I still longed for better pellets. Then I found out about fermented feed. My last bag of generic feed (50 lbs) lasted me 20 days after I fermented it! That is over double the lifespan of when I’m feeding dry pellets to the flock. My $12.99 bag turned into what felt like a “Buy One, Get One” offer! Here’s my method and why I love fermenting feed for my ladies and gents. Also, I finally feel that organic, non-GMO pellets are coming into the budget!
