Feed to breeding birds that are feeding chicks. Wean chicks onto this diet for the first 1-3 months post-weaning 3 months for the larger species, one month for the smaller species. High-Energy Breeder will provide these young birds with extra protein, calcium and Vitamin D3 needed for the continued growth that occurs during that time. The higher energy will help put back the body weight lost in the weaning process. Do not give additional vitamin or mineral supplements, such as cuttlebone, mineral blocks, or multivitamins. Fresh fruits and vegetables may be given as a minor part of the diet.
