A high protein ration desgned to grow the bird without laying down too much fat in the early stages. Can be fed up to 12 weeks of age. Contains a coccidiostat. Cover the floor of the brooder with a good layer of bedding. If your brooder is a cardboard box, lining the bottom with an extra piece of cardboard or some newspaper will help absorb excess moisture. Auboise is a popular choice for brooders. Country Layers should be fed ad lib to laying birds. A typical bird will eat between 130 and 140 grammes per day. To give an attractive yolk colour, pigments extracted from marigold petals are added together with another compound which occurs naturally in the skins of oranges.
