I love your enthusiasm but at times seems to lack experience.

Unless you live in a warm climate or want to let your birds breed in winter you should really now be
on a maintenance diet and then in Aug for around three weeks on austerity diet. Sept would be
the start of you full on diet with chicks hatching late Sept, early Oct.
This is my opinion others may agree or disagree.
In my opinion too many females are lost when you encourage winter breeding and also tired out when
you want them to breed in good weather conditions
Maintenance diet just a good seed mix, soaked seed and maybe limited live food
Austerity diet 2 millets and water
Comments welcome
