Add 2 small level scoops (scoop enclosed in packet) of formula to a jar or cup, then add one large scoop and one small scoop of boiling water. Mix thoroughly using a fork for 30 seconds or until an even consistency is achieved (like gritty milk). Check temperature and feed. The above mix then needs to be gradually thickened over a 48 hour period, at which point the below regular mixing directions are to be used until the bird is weaned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMixing Regular Formula\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd one large level scoop of formula to a jar or cup, then add one large scoop of boiling water.

Be sure to research the requirements of your individual birds thoroughly before you begin. As a rule, the last feed of the day should be late at night around 10-11pm and the next feed early the following morning at approximately 5-6am. It is important to note that at the first feed of the day the crop should be completely empty. The crop should be allowed to empty completely once every 24hrs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhole grains (corn, wheat \u0026amp; soybean), Vegetable oils and Natural organic acids, Amino acids (lysine and methionine), probiotics and pre-digestives.
