Any thoughts when breeding the inclusion or % of flax seed in your mix, do you think the youngster's in the nest develope better, anyone had any experience with this.

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.

You don’t need a lot Dave most proprietary breeding mixes have 2 to 3%

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.
