On the 10th day, the diet should consist only of Mazuri Large Bird Diet. Monitor the bird's weight and behavior carefully during the conversion period. Be specially attentive during the 10th to 12th day. If the bird is losing weight, or if the bird is not consuming the product, offer the bird a mix of 50% seed and 50% Mazuri Large Bird Diet and restart the conversion process from this point. If the bird is not eating, the excreta color will become dark green and the volume will decrease. If the bird is consuming the Mazuri Large Bird Diet, the excreta will be a brownish-green color.
