mickmck 716 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 cheers fireman , im new to this game but im enjoying it , ive been lucky to be able to pick up some nice birds , my little fife hen has just hatched 5 chicks , im hoping my gold mosaics start nest building soon i might try the red factor hen with me red black cock , or might just keep looking for a hen for him , do you know where i would get some roxanthin colouring from 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,774 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Not sure what roxanthin colouring is but i'll have a guess it's like the carophyll red powder i use and i got mine through a link on one of the bird forums and can't remember where it was mate but if i do which i will as i will need some more come moult time i'll let you know mate,but any colouring is only taken up during the moult so a waste of time giving to the birds at this time of year.

mickmck 716 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 yes mate im just wanting to know where to get it for when there in the moult 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,774 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I do know the carophyll red powder the IOA was selling last year was shite and didn't work,a few folks have said about it and i bought 2 cinny hens that turned out a pair due to it .I'll have a search for you bud if you need me to?.
