my homemade eggfood recipe (high potency and all natural)
Hey everybody!
Just wanted to share my eggfood recipe for those ones that are interested on making their own.
I honestly havent calculated the cost of this BUT i make it because its all natural and has really good stuff for the birds and NOT to spare any money on commercial eggfoods.
I have only bred european finches,canaries and javas, so im not sure if other finches will eat this.
My birds love it and even those new to me, start eating it in a few days.
I do small batches at a time and keep them 4-5days in the fridge and then i freeze them till its all done.
This eggfood is very potent and is best used in breeding and moulting seasons.
For resting period you cut in half the amount of eggs and multivitamis and dont use the hand feeding formula.
This eggfood can be used as a hand feeding formula
INGREDIENTS LIST
1) 4 hard boild eggs (use 3 egg yolks and only 1whole egg for breeding or moulting season)
2) 1Litre of partially skimmed milk link
3) 250gram of Plain Bread Crumbs link
4) 10grams of multivitamine
5) 1tsp of honey
6) 1/4tsp of Atlantic Kelp link for Kelp
7) 1/4tsp of Electrolyte Powder
1tbs of Hand Feeding Formula link
9) 1/4tsp of Spirulina Link
10) 1/4tsp of trace minerals link
PREPARATION
get a decent container to mix everything.
Hard boil the eggs and use 3 egg yolks and i whole egg (with shell)
Bring the milk to a boil and once it starts raising up throw a tsp of cedar vinegar in it to cut of the boiling. The milk at this point will turn into a ricotta like. drain the water with a cheese cloth and keep the "ricotta"
Add everything you have now on a Food Processor or mix by hand if you with
I use a food processor for this (cheap electronic one)
process everything and keep an eye on the consistency (you want it to be kind of dry so it doesnt stick together)
Add bread crumbles to the desired consistency.
I usually ad some niger seeds to it, just to attract the new birds to it.
As any other eggfood throw the leftovers the next day.
Well i hope your birds love it too.

i dont have a definite answer because i havent used it
but i dont see why not.
soy milk has almost the same calories as the skimmed milk.
soy milk actually is richer in proteins and calcium and its sweeter then skimmed mil.
the reason why i use skimmed mild is because whole milk contains lots of calories not needed from the birds but like i said you can give it a try.

Thanks! I was thinking of using the sugar free soy milk, as I drink it myself in my coffee and my parrot also loves it. Now I have a way to incorporate it into the finches diet with this treat.

That's perfect.
Most of the supplements that I use in this eggfood are actually stuff that lays around and could get expired if not used so yeah it's worth using everyday stuff

You can pretty much add any kind of veggies or fruit to eggfood.
I like adding pealed peas with dandelion leafs and broccoli.
Out of curiosity, I don't really see the need of boiling the apple.
Is there any reason or value if boiled?

No it's simply just for the chicks when they are hatched it's easier for them to digest and eat also you can feed it them the parents just seem to give it them as soon as they eat it so I just though it must be good where as when I give them normal apple they have a nibble and then leave it

dont bother boiling fruits imo, especially apple. Apple actually helps with the digestion and my birds love it, except for the green sour apple.

yes the raw or whole milk is a no-no for birds (and many people) because of the lactose.
That is why i bring the milk to a boil and then with vinegar i turn it into ricotta and whats left there is LACTOSE FREE milk with all the values of milk Calcium, Potassium, Minerals,Vitamins, Proteins,Carbohydrates and Fats

Thanks Andi,
I have my own much loved homemade egg food recipe, which all of my kids love and eat well. They eat it several times a week, daily when moulting, breeding, or raising young.
Although yours is tempting, I have to stick with mine...
