| Hi David--Just wondering--
Why or the reason you are worried/asking about the breeding mix?
Eggs not hatching?---Squabs not health? |

| O K David--
maybe fix your feeders with a 2 inch hole they have to peck thru.
Then when they throw feed--it does not get out of the feeder.
They have to eat only what they can get. AFTER they pick what they want. |
