Im not speaking for people but this is what it think. Breeders want people that are going to be 100% devoted to the breed, People like Toni Marie have spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars importing those birds. They want someone who is going to put the effort they put into them, back into the breed. I can't imagine how much work goes into making their feed.
Main feed ration-
oats 75 lbs
bean meal 7.5
Profit Blend 7.5
(by Hubbard)
or other vitamin / protein (44%) mix
fish meal 5
soy oil 3
calcium 2.5
kelp 2
vit A, D, E 1.25
= 103.75 Lbs
approx 19% protein
Store dry and feed moist so the powders will adhere to the larger solids for easier consumption.
___________________________________________
Cooked mix-
2 cups of brown rice
2 cups of rolled oats
12 eggs
3 fillets of frozen pollock or whiting (raw)
2 cups of greens; dandelions, spinach, or romaine lettuce (raw)
2 cups fruit; blueberries, cranberries, elderberries, or anything else safe for birds that is high in nutrition and antioxidants and low in sugar and starch, leave raw.
I cook the rice until it's nearly done, then add the oats since they don't take as long. Then I hard boil the eggs. In a blender or food processor purret the eggs shell and all (for calcium) along with the raw fish, fruit, and greens. I then hand mix the raw purret blend with the cooked brown rice and oats. This mix is mostly liquid. I cook up a large quantity and freeze it so that I don't have to cook two days a week for them.
My feeding schedule is as follows-
4 days of the week they get the main ration. They fast one day of the week. On the day each before and after fast they get the cooked mix. This cleanses their bodies and better simulates a healthy wild-type diet. I also give my birds one black vinegar capsule once a week. It's a blood detoxifier. The capsules are made in Okinawa and distributed in the US by Swanson Vitamin Company.
And then they need to have a shelter that allows them to grow their tails to maximum length.
People who own breeds such as Ohikis give their genetics out to people who are going to help the breed, and it's not just someone saying "Yes i want to help and improve the breed" the people actually have to believe it.
I hope you understand.
