Question about switching my hens from layer pellets to fermented feed, big change in 6 weeks
I started fermenting their feed back in April and by the 6 week mark their feathers looked shinier and they were eating about a quarter less each day. But now I'm wondering if I'm just seeing what I want to see, since my neighbor in Ames tried the same thing and swears her egg count dropped. Anyone here actually tracked production numbers before and after, or is it mostly a gut feeling for you too?

Went through the same thing last winter and my gut told me the exact same stuff, shinier feathers and way less feed getting crushed. Tracking it is the only way to know for sure though, I never wrote anything down and still kick myself for it.
