  1. brewers yeast is a great supplement/tonic for pigeons [or humans] but im not sure this liquid bottle is [especially smelling of beer] is the waste prodect by the brewery ??? not sure i would trust giving this to the birds,, as old yellow says a lab test would tell you the answers,but would it be worth it?/ , would it not be poss to have ordinary brewers yeast sent up by post?
  2. i had this many years ago,, a very good b cheq cock,, had a prize in club the sat b4,, on the tues he was out with therest, bouncing around,, got them in ,, fed all birds on the floor ,, all had a drink then up to their perches and boxes [natural] , b cheq gave a flutter , then dropped to the floor dead,, took it to the vet for p.m.,, no high level of cocci, canker, or worms , no paratyphoid ,, they could only tell me the bird had a suspected heart attack
  3. yes your right east coaster,, but going way back on frans van widermeersch pigeons [a school teacher, i beleive] they. like many breeds , are made up of many lines , and like many top breeders/fliers, frans. selectivly bred these , then produced the champions

    Protein

    in my opinion , not such an easy question to answer in a short post,, basicly agree with above 14pc racing in general, but i would vary the amount due to many circumstances i,e the type of racing etc ,,sometimes a breeding mixture can be confused with a rearing mixture , where in my opinion, plenty of protein is needed,,, as in a breeding mix [mating up], sitting,,, less protein ,, yb,s flying over 6 weeks less protein,, b4 this plenty, birds moulting need more protein , after moult less protein etc etc ,, so, really no easy answer
  5. think jim smith was one of the first to win well with the wildies, way back ,, but the base birds were the beer and orleanski,, bliksem etc,, [beer and orleanski bought by bertie fletcher] but there have been many who flew these birds well,, charlie wooff [wooff bros and son new ollerton ] have stayed at the top for over 30 years with these birds , his base pigeons were" clive 76"" the 31" these were phenominal racing pigeons , their progeny is still winning well to-day, both, for charlie, and many others
