Feeding
Higgins inTune Natural Hand Feeding is easy to prepare and feed but there are a few important steps to follow when preparing the formula:
Mixing chart* Age (In Days) |
inTune | Water |
Hatch - 2 days | 1 Part | 4 - 6 parts |
2 - 5 days | 1 Part | 3 - 4 parts |
5 - Weaning | 1 Part | 1-1/2 to 2 parts |
Once mixed thoroughly with a spoon, allow the mixture to "rest" until an inserted thermometer reads a temperature of between 102F - 108F. This is the ideal and recommended temperature to begin feeding.
Newly hatched to 2 day (24 to 48 hr) old chicks should be fed a "watered" formula, as shown in the Mixing Chart. The formula will separate at this ratio and is a normal occurrence. Blend well prior to each filling of the syringe to ensure adequate delivery of nutrients. A newborn chick requires hydration and watersoluble nutrients more than anything else at this early stage.
2 to 5 days old chicks will begin to eat a thicker formula at a ratio of 1 part inTune Hand Feeding to 3 to 4 parts water. The blended formula should have the consistency of baby food or apple sauce.
5 days old to the weaning stage, the formula should be mixed at an even thicker ratio (see Mixing Chart) and should be blended to the consistency of a creamy pudding.
Other Important Feeding Guidelines
Storage
inTune Natural Hand Feeding should be stored in a dry, cool area, away from sunlight. Because inTune is free of artificial preservatives, refrigeration or freezing is recommended after opening.
Never reuse blended inTune Natural Hand feeding formula. Always prepare a fresh batch for every feeding.
