gallipots in every nest box filled with groats which have been soaked in cod liver oil,this will be continued after weaning. :)

I've wintered mine on breeders, with added barley, rice and hormoform. As pairing-up time got nearer (this month) I gradually reduced these, and now feed breeders only. When the youngsters hatch, I'll start hormoform again.

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  

 

i was told that they can't get maples  where are you getting them from as i would like to get them

[OLDYELLOW]

im afraid the maple crop failed due to black root , there was green peas at back end but when i rung up they had all gone lesson learned for next year going to get a few stacked up , i had got two bags from buctons worse maples i have ever bought aload of black squashed uns in them not dried or stored properly , i got two bags of Johnstones and Jeffs lovely clean maples best i've seen for many years   Â£11.95 for 25kg   i believe theres some near Durham

I cant see Hormoform being the cause of death in the y/b's.I usually feed it 50/50 with linseed in a pot on the floor once a day

Check out and see if your friend is using black nestfelts, is so this could be the cause.

I'd put up a post few years back asking on advice how to store Hormoform, tried it in a tin, and tupperware and basically dried out.

 

Have found that with 5kg bag its best kept in the original bag, top rolled down and fastened with a crocodile clip. Now retains its moisture OK.

better safe than sorry ian,  a bit dearer but who cares , you would think there was a credit crunch  or something lol the only thing that i think thats worse than hormoform to go off is peanuts, very very dodgey

 

 

[billy wilson]

i use verselaga breeding mix start this is a great mix,one of the best mixes ive seen and i also use matrix and homeform.

[billy wilson]

ive used homoform for years never had any trouble but you never know theres always a once.

Just the little pieces and coal dust that are at the bottom of the sack of coal.  The birds love them.
