hi john, how do i make it....? and does it help with the moult ?

put into a cup 1 table spoon full white vingar.
and fill up the cup with milk. leave for 5 minutes and that will give you a substitute for butter milk.
we tryed it last year david and it seem to work.
but the longer you leave the vingar and milk in the cup the thicker it got.
we put it into the birds water for 10 day;s .
a cup full to about 2 ltr water.
and the bird;s did seem to loss there feather faster.
only down side david the amount of milk we went through the wife said you just as well buy a cow.

I WAS SPEAKING TO THE OLD GUY THAT HELPS ME HE WAS FLYING DARKIES OVER 25 YEAR AGO HE SAYS BUTTER MILK DOES HELP BUT THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO GET THEM THROUGH THE MOLT AND VERY RARELY DID HE HAVE TO USE BUTTER MILK

have read/heard quite a few top flyers swear by it, but like i said ive never tried it so dont actually know if its of any benefit to the dark birds..........dinky, these better ways to get them through the moult...? can you divulge what they are and does it speed the moult up in dark ybs ?

david i got the butter milk tip from a man thats kept them for 30 odd years and most if not all in our club thats on darkness does this first year i did it the feathers was falling off them swear by it my self great tip you can buy it or make it your self we made ours our self last year works just the same.

thanks john, im wondering if because mine started the dark a couple of weeks later than when the clocks altered that if i used buttermilk it might help them catch up and complete the moult by the longest day.....???

never know, probably topping the fed

id p**s my self if he was, he had some unusual methods for his management and treatment of his birds didnt he............

yes he did lol.....surprised me really, thought he would want to do it properly

it;s no use telling the member;s to just change the feeding dinkiedoo.
tell us more so some of the member;s can try it.
