Title: Layers Mash
Post by: Roughlee Handled on July 15, 2008, 09:43

Yes yes paranoid here again. :oops:
OK the ex batt girls are coming so getting prepared.  I have been told to get layers mash for them as that is what they are used to.  I have done this but as my two girls eat pellets how do you prepair layers mash?  
Just tip it in the feeder dry?

just use it dry thats fine, and what they are used to. They will soon begin to eat the pellets. Mix pellets into the mash gradually increasing in quantity so that by the end of the 7th day they are on just pellets.

Hope this helps - enjoy your new girls!
