Hi mick, I see your colour feeding by water even to the ones with chicks in the nest, how long do you colour feed for and what age do you start at please?
Hi and thanks for the question, I have started adding the red to egg food & water but it's a relatively weak mix (50% ) which I hope will help give them a base colour, I started when I thought some of the chick's were dropping the odd feather and decided to feed it to all chick's at the moment, however when the next set of chick's hatch they won't be colour fed at all, this let's me have more options in competition later in the year.
My birds are doing well this year. Thanks from Malta. And good luck. 👍🇲🇹👍🇲🇹👍
That's great to hear, how many and what type are you keeping?

Fab birds
Thankyou very much :)
It will be nice to see the change once they have moulted in a few weeks.
