Homemade Egg Food Ingredients • Aldersons Cooked Cereal Conditioning Meal (dried bread in a course powder) sold as a horse conditioner.
• 2 Standard sized eggs. • Water
Method. Place into a bowl 300 grams of the Aldersons Cooked Cereal Conditioner Meal. The two eggs are hard boiled for 11 minutes to ensure that any salmonella bacteria are killed.
They are then placed in my Kenwood Classic liquidiser with 175 mls of the water they were boiled in and turned into an eggy liquid and poured onto the Aldersons Cooked Cereal Conditioner Meal. A further 175 mls of water is poured into the food processor which is then activated to gather up any of the remaining egg and this watery mixture is also poured onto the Aldersons Cooked Cereal Conditioner Meal. All the ingredients are mixed with a desert spoon until it turns into a crumbly moist mixture. Just a few words of caution if you use too much water you obtain a mushy mess that your birds will not eat. Just experiment with the amount of water used until you are happy with the mixture you produce. The above quantities produce a large amount of egg food so it may be preferable to halve all the ingredients when you first try this method.
