Feeding Tips
Water
Always provide clean, fresh water. Birds drink approximately twice as much water as the feed they consume.
Storage
Store feed in dry, cool areas in vermin-proof containers to maintain freshness.
Supplements
Consider grit, calcium supplements for layers, and occasional treats like mealworms.
Foraging
Free-ranging birds may consume less commercial feed, adjust accordingly.
