neila Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiley Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
