Hi Sam, cheers for the comment, the chicks get enough vitamins, minerals, protein etc from the mix, as for quantity they tend to let me know when they're getting full, they store a lot of the food in their crop and slowly digest the food over time, it's as important to make sure the crop is empty before the next feed in order the chicks don't store food for too long and incite digestive issues from stale food. It takes longer to wean the hand reared birds, I am currently trying to get them to eat for themselves :)
Beautiful birds good Job ❤
Thankyou for the comment :)
Well done mate chicks are looking good 👍
Thankyou :)
The birds looking beautiful Mick. Do they get enough from the syringe? I know you said you feed them every couple hours just wondering
