Young Birds

[sparko]

sorry to sound dumb ,this is all new to me so i have my young out flying for some days well over an hour and they have been on high protien mix to build muscle and then i put them on gerry plus but ive noticed they have a deep dark red breast and not as plump as i thought they should be so i was wondering if i have over done the loft flying even though they only go out once a day and since like april i think they have only had 1 day not going out due to weather so could they be in need of a couple of days rest to relax the muscles and freshen up so to speak ? they have been on gerry plus for about nearly 2 weeks now and they also have access to the aviary 24/7 and with them flying so well i didnt think it would be respo problem and they also get what they want to eat when i feed them and never starved .any ideas anyone please

Lighten their grub up with some barley, around 25%-33% should do.
