For a simple programme we suggest Super Fine Starter Crumbs offered to the chicks as the first feed, particularly for day old partridges. Then Starter Crumbs fed to 2 weeks with Starter Micro Pellets to enable a smooth change from crumb to pellet feeding.

Mini Grower Pellets are designed to be fed from 3 weeks until Grower Pellets are introduced at approximately 5 weeks. Release Pellets are introduced just prior to moving birds to release pens where a proportion of grain may be introduced or full pellet feeding may continue until release to coverts.

The Marriage's Breeder diets are formulated to maintain birds in peak breeding condition.

Breeder Pellets should be introduced 3 - 4 weeks before the first eggs are expected and are available with flubenvet to provide for worming birds prior to laying. This diet is carefully formulated to ensure maximum number of strong viable chicks. It is important that grain should not be fed, as it will unbalance the nutrient content of this diet.

Partridge Breeder should be introduced 3 - 4 weeks before the first eggs are expected. This is a diet of high nutrient density especially balanced to meet the needs of the smaller game bird and should not be diluted by grain feeding. The breeder rations contain the correct levels of calcium and Phosphorus so that additional oyster shell or limestone grit need not be fed.
