I feed in the morning, and again in the evening. When I feed in the morning, they have it all eaten, but a few pieces, and same in the evening, so I guess my measurements are correct, and they arent wasting any, and dont have much left over before the next feeding.... Feed enough so it will last them until their next meal, whether it is every 12 hours, or every 24.

I keep feed, oyster shell and grit out for the breeders 24/7.
Before you start leaving feed out 24/7 MAKE SURE you don't have a rodent problem. It wouldn't hurt to put bar bait in a milk jug and cut a hole in the side. Make the hole 1 inch from the bottom and about 1 inch in diameter. I keep a few of these setting around the outside edge of my loft just in case a mouse comes by.(Outside the loft itself, I wouldn't want one of my birds to get ahold of any).

Grit and water 24 / 7 Feed all they can eat in twenty min twice a day; shake a can of feed every time they are feed by the time they come out of nest they know what it means when they hear the can, I think leaveing feed in front of them 24/7 makes for picky feeders wasted food on floor.

Water, Grit & Oyster shells all day long.
Fed once a day with pellets around 1 pm.
Once first bird hits the water all feed is pulled.
If half of them don’t meet me at the door,
That round is skipped.
If the Squeakers don’t SQUEAK and raise HE**
You are over feeding.

Usually twice a day. Pull the feeder after they all stop eating. After a few days I get teh hang of how much to feed. There should always be a little left over. That way you know everyone is full.

My breeders have feed and grit all the time,especially when there are young in the bowl.You'll notice the good feeders keep their young w/full crops most of the day.Nice healthy babies!
