Guest geordiejen Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 any good ideas for getting your pairs into tip top condition for the breeding?not starting until later this month.ive brought the birds weight down a bit but not much and although ive not put in the nespans yet they are all geting frisky,fighting over corners of the floor for nest spaces.got them all wormed cocci and cankered and they are looking in good condition.had a wee bit of a problem with canker just after blackpool but a week on metronidozole has cleared that up.is their stuff that stimulates sex drive?or does anyone add a bit of calcium in the drinker?seen a product called egg food not sure what thats for as you dont feed eggs its the squeekers that need feeding lol.
lvlasked Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 all i do is give them 3 types of grit fresh in everyday and 2 times a day and bath them 2 times away and my stock have always been fine like that
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 good strong mix for a couple of weeks before pairing,supplemented with wheat germ oil and hemp oil,plenty of good grit They'll be raring to go
just ask me Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 a little bit of seed should help not to much get that weight right down though
andy Burgess Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 have thrown a few "lettuce" in with the hens too .
Wiley Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Best product for breeding is a light bulb increase the hours of daylight and you'll have no problems. But keep a keen eye on your health of your birds
Guest geordiejen Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 wheat germ oil and hemp oil will i get this from a health shop?
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 wheat germ oil and hemp oil will i get this from a health shop? Yip Carrs supply them and you'll probably be able to get them from where ye buy yer feeding but its fairly pricey A lot cheaper from the likes of Holland and Barrett etc
just ask me Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 wheat germ oil and hemp oil will i get this from a health shop? another good product especially when breeding early
Tony C Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Cytacon liquid 5mls to 2 litres every other day till the hens lay out. It helps enrich the yolk.
adam owen Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 get the wait down plenty of garlic to get rid of the down feathers plenty of grit and clay blocks plenty of baths and fresh air
