Young birds I feed very light first thing in the morning, but dont let them out due to going to work, get home at 5:15pm let them out 45min - 1hr, call them in whistle and shake tin, in they go and they get a full feed. repeat every day. When they get older and ranging or basket training then I might get up earlier and let them out in good weather. you must be careful with the feed as you need control all the time, you are in charge.
