Starting staggered hatching adventure

[Redhead Rae]

What are the directions on the 5lb bag?

I dunno. I'll need to look. But I have a wiggle baby on my lap ATM

I'll hold him for you!


No rush...I'm just curious.

 

[Kiki]

In addition to extra vitamins and minerals for the Cornish have you thought to up their protein?

Wouldn't rooster booster be about the same things as the kelp?
I'm confused on why you would give both.

 

[Redhead Rae]

I have all my birds (over 8 weeks) on 19% grower broiler and I supplement calcium on the side. I have brewers yeast that I can add as well to up the protein as well.

I am just saying what I have on hand and I'm asking what to use and how much to use.

Do you frequent any of the meat bird threads? Maybe some people there have figured out better fertility with them.

Woahhhhh...
Brewest yeast has a lot of vitamins too right?
I don't think you can add all of these things...it will be too much.

Whew...MY BAD.

I got confused...thinking you wanted to use them all together.

 

[Kiki]

I'd pick one...which ever you think is best and give it to them a few days each week for a few weeks and see if it makes a difference.
I really don't know.
I have only read that upping vitamins and protein levels for breeding birds helps.
