NEVER FEED DRY POWDER For best care, establish a planned feeding program using sanitary practices.

For best care, establish a planned feeding program using sanitary practices. Mix with water to appropriate consistency for the age of chick that you are feeding. Young chicks will require more waterAs chicks grow, feeding frequency will decrease; allow crop to empty before next feeding. Feed until crop is full or chick refuses to eat.To ensure complete hydration of the product, mix with hot water and feed when the temperature is between 100 to 105 F (38 to 40.5 C). If it is too hot, add a small amount of cold water to reach feeding temperatures, or wait until the formula reaches an appropriate feeding temperature.Water:powder ratio may vary among species. Measuring of powder by weight is recommended. Suggested mixing ratios should be modified to fit the nutritional and hydration needs of the birds you are feeding and to ensure that the product will flow through the syringe you are using.In the first weeks post-hatch, 80% Water: 20% Powder (measure by weight). As the bird grows, 60% Water: 40% Powder (measure by weight).Mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk until fully mixed.Feed until the crop is full using the appropriate hand-feeding syringe. Do not overfeed. o Most chicks will eat 10% or more of their body weight per feeding. Some species (house finches, sparrows, grackles) will continue to gape and beg when crops are full. o Growth rates can vary by bird and species, so monitor body weight daily. This is the most accurate way to ensure proper growth and feeding rates.See packaging for further feeding notes.
