Linseed is a seed rich in valuable oils & popular with British finches.

This seeds rich source of oil is valuable when birds are moulting.

Use it straight after racing finished. Lock them up, and add 25% buttermilk to the water, keep them well fed and if you have lights, leave them on every night til 11.00pm for that week. Mine fell apart and some of the darkies have dropped 3 flights.
