Where you getting the hemp Anthony I’m worried about fungus or it being like fishing grade
The little bags on line for Humans is not cheap and the amount your using would be a bit naughty that way
I have seed mix I make up with hemp in it but it’s not the cheapest once I buy it separate
SS hemp any good ?

All from ss mate ,droppings are good on it

Nearly always 100% barley, this year I got some bags of Beyers rest, but I think the only real difference is I’m £10 a bag worse off

Ya iv user rest pal n depure £14 bag more than barley
I'm a idiot because I can buy oats ,barley, maize all cheap lots of oats in beyers rest as well probably buy 10 bags of barley n oats for £70 from food suppliers in Hockwold norfolk.

I like it Neil ,great feed in cold weather keeps them warm with 20 percent to 80 percent barley if birds get 1oz aday then 7gm is hemp ,
But I like it 1st Jan birds start going out and with inn14 days these will be up flying 1 hour hard on this food don't know why but they fly high and hard and you get the pre season fitness to a good level before rd work and racing comes around.

If birds are well I wouldn't change a thing pal ,,

If you didn't want to feed hemp is there a hemp oil ?.
