Fermented feed had me skeptical until my girls went crazy for it

I always thought soaking chicken feed was just extra work for no reason. But after my neighbor Sheryl in Portland swore by it for her flock's egg production, I tried it with just $8 worth of starter and some old feed. Within 3 days my hens were scratching through it way faster than dry pellets and the yolks got that deep orange color. Anyone else have their birds suddenly stop eating after switching to fermented?

Wait you said $8 for a starter and your neighbor Sheryl from Portland talked you into it? I gotta hear more about that starter because I swear my girls turned their beaks up at fermented feed for like a week straight and I thought I wasted my money. They just stood there looking at the bucket like it was poison or something. I had to mix it with their regular crumbles bit by bit before they even touched it. Now they gobble it up but that first few days was rough. What kind of starter did you get for that cheap?

Wait @willow672 you got a starter for eight bucks? That's gotta be a typo, right?
