Here is a general outline of our feeding schedule we follow at the aviary to give others an idea of a good schedule to follow and what to expect.

Please remember that this is just a general guide, and that each individual chick might need a slightly different amount depending on his or her genetic back round and size.

From 2 to 4 weeks of age the chicks will need fed every 3 hours or so. Most chicks will take 2ml to 4ml of formula a feeding at this age depending on their individual size.

From 3 to 4 weeks of age the chicks will need fed every 4 hours. Most chicks will take 4ml to 6ml of formula a feeding at this age depending on their individual size.

From 4 weeks old until they are fully weaned the chicks will need fed every 5 hours. Most chicks will take 5ml to 8ml of formula a feeding at this age depending on their individual size.
