We ferment our chicken feed, but our system is not as slick - and considering our temps at the moment (well below 0F outside, in the low 40s in the coop - where we keep the in use bucket), we might need to reassess. Thanks for the info, Anna! I think this will really help up our egg production.

Anna, great tutorial on making fermented feed for chickens and ducks. I personally can’t have birds where I live but I did share your video with my niece and sister-in-law. They both raise chickens with the help of their kids and grandchildren. The grandchildren even sell the eggs to locals who want fresh eggs. I love the farm fresh eggs over store bought. Plus as a bonus the kiddos are learning a business which they both love doing. Thank you so much.❤
