Guest dodgydaz Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 if any of you feed hormoform with feeding mix, do your birds end up covered in it, i add about a small galleypot a day to ther feed, most of them are covered in ugly reddy/orange stains now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retired Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 I seem to recollect some time ago that a member posted up that they produced there own Hormoform substitute product. Cannot remember who the member was or what they used ingredient wise or quantity. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
