neila Posted November 6, 2019 Report Posted November 6, 2019 Mine in the main are on the last flight Changing the feed soon to 1 barley 1 dupurative 1 beans 30 grams a day for the cocks 28 grams for the hens. I have some cod liver oil that I will use twice a week for vitamin D due to the lack of sun and dark days A bit more barley on the days my water freezes up They will stay on this to February just prior to breeding Avidress in the water , and grit and mineral fresh each day What will others be feeding
greenlands Posted November 6, 2019 Report Posted November 6, 2019 Just about the same Neil,be careful with cod liver oil in the warmer weather mate,goes rancid very fast,used to use Scotts Emulsion years ago when I kept Budgies,don't know if you can get it now ?
neila Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Posted November 6, 2019 I know what you mean once the cold days kick in I will use it and when I do I put on about half the ration so they clear it then put the remaining down like you say it can go rancid I have never heard of the other product you mention I will have a google on it ,thanks mate
Wiley Posted November 6, 2019 Report Posted November 6, 2019 When I was sprinting the birds would be on Barley only from the time their ybs left the nest which was always mid January right up until the week of the first race!! Now they'll stay on beans and barley until I pair the widowhood up in late February and the naturals up in 2nd week april
