have not got any on widow hood but the old guy that helps me says an egg cup ful per pair a day is plenty

yes an eggcup full is the same, i use one and have weighed it and its 41 gram which is a gram under an oz and half.........

this is widowhood mix by the way, so i suppose a diet mix etc would be different.

will say his feeding system for breeding hopper of beans in the loft at all times
his mix is 25% chicken layers pellets and a good strong mixtue with no maize my y/bs where superb in the nest and at weaning time good start very important

yes true dinky i agree, i used the chicken layer pellets many years ago and found the ybs reared on them were excellent.........i cant say for definate as i havnt tested enough, but the ybs ive reared on the boss pellets and the g10`s wernt nearly as good, plus i found them pretty expensive............
