Most good breeding mixes have flax seed (linseed) in them it’s important to feed during the moult

Hi Bowbroom, I was looking at a clip this afternoon on YT it just said it was more beneficial in the growth & development of the youngsters.

Mine get Linseed (flax seed) in the mix I feed, Bamfords multitask but I don't think it's a deal breaker in rearing good young birds.

Could you feed it in a hopper for racers King without certain grains being left

I've never fed it in a hopper Neil. I don't think any mix should be fed in a hopper as some birds always stat to waste corn choosing what they want.
