COLOR FEEDING FOR SHOW

Water Preparation is as follows:

Mix 1 level teaspoon of Orlux Red Color or Substitute the following mixture of canthaxacin with Orlux Yellow Intensifier in equal proportions.

Add the color to 1 quart of hot water.

Use this red water to add to your soft food, any of the following, couscous, rice, rusk, corn bread.

Mix:

1 Cup Dry Egg food (Orlux )
1 Cup Red Couscous, Rice, Rusk, Corn Bread.

Feed to your birds once a day until completely colored in through the molt.

Note: 1- Orlux is a brand of egg food from Belgium
2- Use Corn Bread during the summer because too much protein is not good for the molt.
3-Bee Pollen helps develop good color so add it to your mix

DO NOT START color feeding your chicks until about 6 weeks old because the flight feathers will not be white, if you do.
