Paul223 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 If you have a look through the different feeds you'll realise there's a few you'll need for the birds as they grow, to be honest you'd be better off finding someone local to borrow a couple of kg from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Chick crumb, mini pellet, grower 1+2 then wheat. Depends on your soul regarding grit, we don't bother as we have stoney, flinty sandy soil any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Sorry, grower 1+2 refers to the pellet size and protein levels. 1 is a smaller pellet with higher protein, to wean them off mini pellets. 2 is a similar size to wheat, with lower protein to get them ready for moving on to wheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
