| Start to feed to the breeders on about the 4th day after the last egg is laid and until the youngest chick is weaned. Also feed to the chicks until they are approximately 8 months old. If the mother hen is through laying, feed her the maintenance diet. Once your babies are feathered and start picking at the bottom of the brooder, spread some Dr. D’s Starter- Grower (breeder) pellets on the bottom of the brooder, or cage and watch the babies start to pick on them. They have the same taste as the formula. Once they start picking, put a small dish of pellets and a dish of fresh water in the brooder or cage. Following these instructions, your babies will be larger, healthier, and wean much sooner. NOTE: Dr. D's diets are balanced complete feed to produce optimum growth, feathering, vigor and reproduction when used as directed. Additional food items such as greens, cuttlebone, vitamin drops, mineral supplements, egg food and resting food are not needed or recommended. Dr. D's diets have all of the nourishment those extra foodstuffs would supply. They are needed for seed type diets or inadequately formulated. Keep treats to a minimum. think of treats as giving candy to a child; keep them to less than 10% of intake. We also don't recommend blending different types of pellet diets together. |
