i need some help my young birds have been on marimans all  rounder feed with some homoform added since they were born

now they are out  flying should i cut back on protein and maybe  give something like gerry plus or is it ok to keep feeding the heavy mix for longer

 

any help most welcome

I would put them on a young bird mix or lighten your feed with some barley that will get them flying.

if their flying well on what your giving them ,i would leave well alone, but if their not flying much , i would lighten the mix,even as far as 50 pc depurative 50 pc mix, but when they started flying longer i would up the protein. i had that problem once ,the darkness ybs were fed high protein, and were like turkeys, they were treading before  they were flying :), but thats what i did ,fed 50  50 flagged them ,and they were soon going, then i upped the protein again when they were flying well.and they continued to fly well

You can always tell if you are giving your birds too much protein by looking at the colour of the skin on their breast, if it is pinkish you're OK but if it is bluish or purple they are getting too much and you can bring them back to normal by feeding barley and green tea in the drinker for 5 days.  2 of the 5 days add a splash of garlic oil to the drinker to purify the bloodstream
