| Dr. D's Starter-Grower Diet Start to feed to the breeders on about the 4th day after the last egg is laid and until the youngest chick is weaned. Also feed to the chicks until they are approximately 6 months old. For Lady Gouldian Finches, feed Starter-Grower to the parent birds until the chicks wean, but continue to feed it to the chicks until they complete their juvenile molt (typically between 4 and 6 months). Gouldian finches require a much higher protein intake during their initial molt. Failure to provide this protein may result in the birds failing to thrive. A Gouldian's juvenile molt is complete when you can no longer see any "olive" colored feathers on their backs, and only solid adult color in their masks, chests, and bellies. If they have stopped molting but still have juvenile feathers, continue the Starter-Grower until they molt again and replace the olive juvenile feathers. If the mother hen is through laying, feed her the Maintenance diet. This is also called a "breeder diet" |
WE WILL SHIP YOU REPLACEMENT FEED TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE (INCLUDING SHIPPING) IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THEY BECOME MOLDY OR BUGGY. Being a natural product without insecticides, there is a slight chance of this after about 5 months or so, but the risk is much less than with whole seeds. Our pellets contain no sunflower seed so you will never get moths from them. You can store the pellets for 2 years safely in a freezer. Since we are the manufacturer and not just a distributor of our pellets, you can be assured of receiving fresh pellets from us. The problem with most of our competitors is that you can not order directly from them but are forced to place your order with a distributor. Those distributors, in addition to marking up the product for additional profit for themselves, needs to order a large amount of feed at a time for resale. So they may ship you product that has already been sitting in their warehouse for months. When you receive it from them, it is already old. When we ship you pellets, they are always fresh. |

Dr. D's Maintenance Diet - Feed this diet under several conditions:
|
| NOTE: Dr D's diets are balanced complete feed to produce optimum growth, feathering, vigor, and reproduction when used as directed. Additional food items such as greens, cuttlebone, vitamin drops, mineral supplements, egg food, and resting food are not needed or recommended. Dr D's diets have all of the nourishment those extra foodstuffs would supply. They are needed for seed type diets or those inadequately formulated. Keep treats to a minimum - think of treats as giving candy to a child; keep them to less than 10% of intake. We also don't recommend blending different types of pellet diets together. |
