My Soft Food Recipe
Take a 1 kg bag of sukses of cede or whatever dry egg food product you use and add ½ box of cede insect food. Mix together. Store in a sealed container. Keep cool and dry.
Prepare daily as follows:
1 hard boiled egg, grated through a cheese grater. (makes long thin strips)
3 tbsps of above dry egg food mix
3 tbsps of finely chopped dark greens well washed, i.e. Parsley, kale, beet greens, etc. Spray free chick weed and dandelion may be used in season.
3 tbsps of sprouted seed.
Mix well.
Probiotic powder may be sprinkled on top during feeding of chicks to help pick up the immune system.
Multiply everything to make enough for your birds 2x daily during breeding. 1x daily during moulting season and 2-3 times a week otherwise (add more veggies and sprouted seeds off season so the birds don't become too fat). This mixture is crumbly moist yet dries out in my feeding dishes if not consumed.
It will last 2 days in the fridge. If you cannot smell the egg, it is starting to go off. Never feed it if you have any doubt.
