snap  ;D ;D ;D ;D

dont feed them for 48 hours and they will break into a moult, however i think you should continue there education even if its only in the training basket.

how much butter milk ? do use it whole or mix with water ?

 

i was told mate it goes on the corn but unsure on the amount perhaps strapper can help on that one

[ACE LOFTS]

dont let them out leave them locked in with pleanty of small seeds and u could try tea with moulting seeds but locking them up is very important, butter milk does work but when u mix it with water it settles, wait a good half hour to an hour after feed to make sure they have a good drink of it.

 

i hope this info helps

The full system using buttermike is detailed in winning with young birds in the BOSHEND FLYERS section, REGARDS

Split the sexes will help, if you cant dont let them sit eggs.
