I’m very new to this and don’t even have my chickens yet. I want to try fermenting my layer mash. I have heard that they need about 1/4 cup of dry feed per chicken per day. That doesn’t seem like a whole lot but I was wondering how much would it be if I was fermenting it.
I want to use the deep litter method for bedding and then eventually transfer it to my compost bin or garden But I also want to make a dust bath and maybe leave it outside the coop. I heard this is good for mites etc. This includes using garden lime. But I heard this was not good to use I if...
