Never used custard powder in my egg mix. Just egg and sweet biscuit. Usually arrowroot.

I used vanilla cake with protein supplement instead of egg and that seemed to promote exceptional groth and development in the chicks I had

Mine enjoyed some Kale last night. I might try them on thistles as I have a few growing as weeds in the garden. How do you know if the thistle is ok to feed the birds?

Gave my zebs some celery heads last night, they enjoyed it so much they spread it over the aviary. I think I'll stick to cucumber.
