Hello and welcome back to the farm! Today's video is of our beautiful chickens enjoying their warmed and fermented seed breakfast! We ferment their feed here in order to give them more nutrition, and make their seed stretch and last longer. They are 100% free range in the summer months, but the cooler months require a bit of provisional nourishment from the seed department. Fermenting it just keeps it alive and healthy for them. It's simple, just soak your feed in water for three days, thats it!
