This enables you to determine when to discontinue the calcium supplementation. Since Neo-Calglucon is so safe, it is of little consequence if the pair gets it for several extra days. When the pair is feeding babies, extra calcium added to the soft foods could be hazardous to the babies. If your hen has chronically low blood calcium levels, consult your avian vet. The majority of soft foods, grains, sprouts, and beans are organically grown and are from the health food store.
Sweet corn is well loved and eagerly consumed.
My Grey breeding birds are fed Harrison's Bird Diet. Birds who are on pellets and a varied soft food diet are getting all the vitamins and minerals they need unless a bird has low blood calcium. A small quantity of seeds can be offered twice a week as a treat. Breeder formulation pellets should be offered when the pair is feeding babies. My Greys usually copulate in the morning for about ten days before the hen lays.
