Product Information

A breeder ration with fish oil suitable for game birds and domestic poultry. Contains extra energy and vitamins to maximise the production of viable quality eggs.

If mixed corn or wheat is to be fed then it should be in small quantities in the afternoon. Too much will reduce the bird's appetite for the layers pellets and they may not get enough protein, minerals and vitamins. Keep an eye on heat levels if the outside temperature is exceptionally high, remembering that things will cool down considerably at night. Country Layers should be fed ad lib to laying birds. A typical bird will eat between 130 and 140 grammes per day.Following on from Micro Pellets, Grower Mini Pellets are particularly suitable for pheasants and partridges Monitor their weight. It is important to monitor their weight to make sure they are growing at a healthy rate. If they are not gaining weight, you may need to adjust their diet or feeding schedule. The Lysine and Methionine in this feed are from natural sources - synthetic amino acids are not used in this feed. Composition

Fine crumbs for feeding up to 4 weeks of age. Turkey Starter crumbs contain a coccidiostat to help prevent disease. They damage the tissue causing bleeding, hence the bloody poop, and prevent birds from absorbing nutrients. Can be fed with herbal tinctures for an all natural approach to managing the bird through periods of stress.It is possible to use artificial light to bring them in to lay; however, I do not recommend this unless you are really confident that your pullets have fully matured because they will stop growing when they start to lay. If they aren’t fully mature, they will lay smaller eggs. Offer them some treats. Once they are a few weeks old, you can start offering them some treats, such as mealworms, cooked vegetables, or fruit. Just be sure to give them treats in moderation, as too much can upset their stomachs.

Ceramic heat lamps don’t give off as much heat as infra-red lamps, so you will need to adjust your lamp’s height, but they do allow you to provide darkness at night by using a separate light on a timer or by using natural daylight. A ceramic heat lamp is made of porcelain and doesn’t give off any light. They are more expensive but can last for about five years. Provide starter crumbs in a feeder on the floor of the brooder, the day they hatch. Don’t worry if they don’t show much interest at first; you probably won’t notice them feeding until the second day. The Organic Feed Company feeds are made from natural ingredients which can result in the feed changing colour slightly through the seasons.

The Quail Grower can be omitted and Superstarter fed for longer but the layer/breeder pellets must be fed for at least five days before eggs are eaten. Mixed corn is great as a treat for your birds, often given in the afternoon, and we have a few different brands you can choose from. Cover the floor of the brooder with a good layer of bedding. If your brooder is a cardboard box, lining the bottom with an extra piece of cardboard or some newspaper will help absorb excess moisture. Auboise is a popular choice for brooders. These are not to be fed for long periods of time, they are just to tide you over until you can get to the animal feeds store to get proper feed. An infra-red heat lamp emits more infra-red radiation than a standard bulb. They can last about 30 weeks, but turning them on and off will reduce their life.
