neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Would Carophyll Red that I used last year be alright to use this year ? It looks fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Can't see why not as long as it's been kept dry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 That's what I was thinking. It's only for the mule in the kitchen and as I've enough for the whole moult I don't see a need to buy some, unless it could go stale and harm him ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's like any powder Neil if it's kept dry it will be fine for a few years. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thanks lads. Next question, how do I get the little fecker to use his bath and not bathe in his drinker sending red water everywhere, LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Will he eat egg food? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 The canary mix I have him on has a little bit of egg food in it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mule123 112 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 put the drinker as low down in cage as possible ,take the bath away, or put it in softfood . sprinkle some on a piece of apple all work,,,,, just find whats easier for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 OK, he only seems to bathe in the drinking water when the colour is in it and it is down low. Never heard about sprinkling it on apple, good idea. He's a beauty but I didn't get the colour on him last year that I'd have liked. I bred red factors for a few years and always got them right but this mule is a bugger, LOL, I call him Pavarotti. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poxon 5,722 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I always found colour feeding in the water a complete nightmare I had far better results in my soft food 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 When I bred a load of mules I used it in the water as you get some birds that aren't keen on egg food but a lot of people get good results using it in the feed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
