I think the first month of a squeaker's life is where the foundation is laid.
That mix will be fine, but make sure they get a good start.
I’m not getting any as of yet mate, I am getting given some old birds I’ll use for stock for next year and go from there 😂 just for the first month when I move them away I like to keep them full
So they grow, just my personal view ha

Looks good.
I'd use that, but it would be expensive after shipping to OZ. :D
I do make up a similar sort of thing in a small batch for the young birds for racing.
