wonder how many tips or advise in rearing strong healthy yb,s

[TORNADOLOFTS]

do u still use baby milk jimmy and how much to 3 litres

[jimmy white]

i know the last few years ive given babies milk in their drinking water ,, two big tablespoons when the youngsters are over a week old , also high protein mix[ a few p. nuts.] with plenty fresh grit and minerals ,, seemed to have reared healthy  youngsters

[Tony C]

I always take the chill of the water when they're feeding young.

you beat me ;D ;D ;D

[TORNADOLOFTS]

so how much would u put in three litres jimmy

[just ask me]

try to feed little and often know its hard  but this guarantees that the the stock are eating all the grain so the youngers are being fed a whole diet as we all know birds will pick the grains they want also after every feed they will feed the young

[jimmy white]

so how much would u put in three litres jimmy

I HAVE TRYED MANY PRODUCTS WHEN BREEDING I HAVE USED.MOOR GOLD GEM THE PAX ,ORIGO STIM,BABY POWDER.BUT THE BEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN WITH FEEDING CHICKEN LAYERS PELLETS.I FEED THESE WHEN I WAS RACING AS WELL.BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU USE IF THE BIRDS ARE NOT GOOD YOU WILL NEVER GAIN TOP PRIZES THATS A FACT.

Has any one else ever used Chicken Layers Pellets? I was thinking of using them myself this year

[Guest shadow]

just make sure they have no antibiotics added :)

Was wondering about that, but told antibiotics were only in "Starter Crumbs" and "Growers Pellets", but I don't really know, so will take your advice and check first.

[Guest IB]

It's the one time that I do nothing, except make sure they have plenty water, food grit and minerals in front of them all the time.

 

I think that there is far too much going on between the parents and the youngsters - (1) seeding the youngsters immune system, (2) seeding the youngsters 'mouth', 'throat', crop and gut linings with friendly bacteria - so I leave them to get on with it.

[TORNADOLOFTS]

jimmy how long would u continue to give baby milk powder after weaning or do u stop after weaning

[Guest slugmonkey]

I give baby milk but I give it dry on feed

I went to a seminar recently and the guy said turn on the lights and give turkey starter crumbles ?? I don't know I thought I would try this

[OLDYELLOW]

i add live natural Yoghurt to water and i feed to the needs of the birds   prior to hatching i add calcium to water to ensure good eggs and i also add grit to galley pots to ensure all hens are getting enough calcium

I used chicken layer pellets from start of season right thru the year.It was a 17% proteine one.All my young birds was in top con.The only thing i would say is,the droppings is a bit loose.I still use it and will keep on doing so,the only thing is i add a few peas,beans,barley and small seed as i need it.

(This might be wrong,but it works for me)

Black and red minerals.

Top feed up several times a day - every time I top up, they feed their young.

[Guest j.bamling]

we have tried most products over the years inc baby milk powder , gemthepax and so on

last year i used nothing apart from grit . a pickstone pot , good corn & a bit of vinegar in the water a couple of times a week and they were some of the best ybs i have reared as some of you who got them would agree i have now come to the conclusion that you dont need all the fancy products and a lot of them are pocket emptyers anyway !!!

[Guest Paulo]

Good corn such as breed and wean with plenty of protein in it

 

Gemphanx

 

Vits

 

Grit and pickpots

 

and I find a gallipot of red band a day for the parents seems to help produce decent yb's that fill the hand
