feeds for breading

[Guest karl adams]

what is the best feed to give your birds when breeding and is there any corn that should not be fed to them

[jonjon]

i feed mainly  beans  an hopper full and little mix once an day any will do just so they dont get sick of the beans and pleanty of grit and minerals and  just plain water ive bred some cracking ybs so far this yr

[b.massey]

Cant argue with that jonjon

[OLDYELLOW]

i feed 20% maples and 80% wheat up until they lay and hatch then i feed 1/3 maples 2/3 wheat increasing the maples as the ybs get bigger  

[jimmy_bulger]

try a good breeding mix 80% and 20% homoform before them all the time.

[jimmy white]

i like to feed a high protein diet whilst rearing[even a few peanuts , after 10 days old,,,with as many different grits, minerals,picksones as i can find and plenty of clean tapolene ;D ;D ;D [water] ;D

[Peckedhen]

I give them a breed and wean mix from two weeks before pairing. They have food in front of them 24/7 but I still top it up four times a day as they always feed the babies again when I do this .They have Kirkpatricks minerals (which they love), clay pickstones and  coal from the bottom of the bag. Vitamins in the water once a week, garlic once a week and cider vinegar once a week.

[jonjon]

when birds are sitting i just feed an light mix mainly barley an bit of mix and an few beans

[Guest karl adams]

i feed my birds a large range of corns plus pellets + chopped nuts + homer form they have feed 24 /7 and i let them out 2 times a day every day and call them back in with red band they love it and trap well to it even thou they still have corn left in the trays

A GOOD BREEDING MIX AND 50/50 TIC BEANS AND MAPLES JUST NOW WITH QUITE A BIT OF BOS PELLETS FOR THE 1'S FEEDING Y/B'S AND PLENTY GRIT MINERALS ASWELL BUT I THINK THE MORE VARIETY YOU FEED AT THIS TIME THE BETTER THE Y/B'S

I ONLY USUALLY USE TIC BEANS IN THE BOXES AS THEY DONT WASTE MUCH BUT COULDNAE GET ANY STUART THATS WHY I HAVE BEEN FEEDING THE 50/50 MATE AS IT'S THE CLOSEST I COULD GET AT THE TIME RE NAE MAPLES EITHER WHEN I WENT FOR FEEDING  

[hotrod]

any other peas rather,  than maples  full of toxins mate

[jacksafc]

Has anybody tried just feeding a normal mix and noted the results, ii think sometimes we gt too complicated.

[carlsberg]

i feed beans peas and tares when breeding

[Guest gladdo]

FEED THEM START PLUS WITH A HANDFUL OF PEANUTS (NOT TOO MANY ) AND YOU WONT GO WRONG ..A.DD BREWERS YEAST FEW TIMES A WEEK WONT DO THEM ANY HARM AT ALL MATE .... GOOD LUCK MIKEY

my opinion mate ,but if you look at most mixtures there isnt a lot of maples in them .if you think different carry on  giving them .
