Mixing & Feeding Directions:

• When using this product and feeding chicks, use good sanitation practices and good quality water. Use all formula within 6 hours of mixing. Reheating is not advised.
• To ensure complete hydration of the product, mix with cold water then with hot water, to achieve the desired feeding temperature (100º to 106º F). Do not overheat formula as crop burns may occur. Do not underheat formula as gastric motility may be impaired.
• The product will turn pink upon mixing, which is normal and provides important pigments to the birds and ensures that mixing is adequate. Some pigments may not be fully absorbed, and pink feces may be observed.  
• In the first weeks post-hatch, suggested mixing ratio is 90% water:10% formula (by weight). As the bird grows, suggested mixing ratio is 70% water:30% formula (by weight). Water:formula ratio may vary due to species.  
• Feed until the crop is full using the appropriate hand-feeding syringe.  Do not overfeed. Most chicks will consume 10% or more of their body weight per feeding, but daily monitoring of weights is the most accurate way to ensure proper growth and feeding rates.
• Several weeks before weaning, provide chicks with the food items that it will be consuming, such as high quality extruded diet (e.g., Mazuri Parrot Breeder 56A9 or Mazuri Small Bird Breeder 56A7), plus 10-20% (by weight) fruits, veggies and other food items.
