Thanks for this good video :) I have been doing this for years but never used the crumble feed, I just use scratch grain and just before I give it to them I will mix in an equal quantity of the egg laying feed (crumble) and I guess I need to mix it ALL up together and include it in the three day fermenting cycle... I have also been throwing away the water that comes off the third day ferment... the plants and veges did NOT like it as fertilizer, so I just throw it on the grass where it doesn't matter, what should I do with this water?? Any ideas?
Sometimes, but thats not due to fermenting feed. The orange color comes from pigments in plants. If you raise them on pasture or feed them fodder, they will have orange eggs.
Everyone should be fermenting feed. Seems like a no brainer!

I either just dump it on our compost or put it in a separate bowl, they sometimes drink it, but mostly gets dumped on compost.
@@quengafarm yes, makes sense, I will keep a bucket handy and when full throw it n the compost heap, thanks :)
Are your eggs orange?
