I use a lot of Barley in fact once racing finishes and I've used up all surplus mixes they get 100% barley and they will moult fantastic on it, just don't believe anyone who says they won't get fat on it, trust me if you're not careful they'll end up right porkers

I myself have never bought a bag of corn with the words moulting on it. Birds will moult on nearly ANY corn. I just feed the same corn when the birds are moulting. I think fanciers get too hung up on what the birds do naturally. I'd back my birds in any show against those who spend £s on 'special mixes' and supplements to help their birds though the moult.

To be honest Neil, i never used barley myself, i would always use this mix.

Nice corn . Not to keen on sunflower in shells but they do produce clean corn
