FVF 16% White Bird Conditioner (Mash)

Front View Feeds 16% White Bird Conditioner This diet provides all of the same nutrients as the Show Bird Conditioner, however, it contains no corn or corn by-products. Corn and corn by-products (along with green plants and grasses) contain high amounts of pigment called xanthophyll, a type of carotenoid. When consumed, these xanthophylls may cause white feathers to turn yellow in chickens that are genetically pre-disposed to yellowing. Instead of corn, this diet utilizes wheat and milo, which contain no xanthophyll, as a substitute. This diet provides all of the necessary nutrients to develop strong, healthy plumage while keeping white birds pure white. Introduce this diet to young chickens at 14-16 weeks of age and keep them on it throughout the show season. Mature birds can be given this diet during their annual molt to provide essential nutrients to the new feathers.
