morton 5,368 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 The reason falconers feed day old chicks is because they don't have much nutritional value so you can give a bird a good feed and it will be back on weight the next day and wanting food whereas if you feed them pheasant partridge rat etc they will get a lot from it so won't be feeling hungry or will be high in condition so be less responsive or willing to hunt the next day. The reason many Falconers feed them is because they are very cheap and very convenient and the vast majority of falconers weigh a bird before attempting to fly it.Why would anybody feed anything that as little nutritional value?,especially when they soon learn how much and when decent food affects their charge. 1 Quote Link to post
