What food for boys?
« on: September 10, 2011, 13:40 »
Another few questions. Sorry. Do I need to feed George, young Pekin cockerel differently to the girls who are on Garvo growers + using up the chick crumbs as well.
 Now we have had one egg laid how soon do I need to put them onto Layers pellets? And is layers ok for George to eat?? what do the boys eat?
They all feed from the same feeder so I'm now getting a little confused  :wacko:

Staffies are softer than you think.

......and that should be layers. Ideally hybrids should be on layers from 17 weeks and pure breeds a couple of  weeks later.

feeding cockerels on layers will mean they will be overdosed on calcium which isn't optimum but it's really a question of practicallity.  Your cocks may not live as long as they might otherwise do but only if their kidneys suffer in later years with kidney stones.
