    Feeding for Racing

    my feed at the moment 80% wheat and 20% maples and ill increase the maples as the young birds on the nest get bigger i feed no maize as i dont want fat birds as maize is mainly stored as fat for the birds reserves so theres no need to have it in my birds diet untill i intend to train and race my birds

    one year i fed tic beans up to 230 miles it was then i changed the feed as i feared they wouldnt have enough in reserve , i have flown up to 512 mile on versa laga superwidowhood and won i suppose if fed just beans as no variety there less likely to gorge and eat just what they need
  12. durring cold months i put it in water i just mix very well then no big clots on bottom of drinker when it warm easier to put on corn have to agree with Tony c periods of stress and after antibiotics great for the calcium content whilst feeding ybs
  13. looks like you'l have to get some security shutters on the portacabin but i guess they'll just burn it down , very sad that people feel the need to do these mindless acts

    there are several types of maize don't give much feeding value in difference with the main differences being mostly in outlook and the vitamin percentages. Maize contains many digestible carbohydrates, little raw cellulose and an awful lot of fat.

    well if birds are basket trainned as ybs they'll fair better than those that aint and those that travel better and eat and drink well will be in the running if there ability is up to it in my view you have 3 types of feed , 1st is protein which aids growth and repair , 2nd is instant energy , 3rd is stored energy such as fats , like any engine a bird has its requirements and needs to be fueled according to how many miles it would be doing , you could take the various fuels for car racing into consideration , rocket fuel for a very fast funny car a short load of fuel for a quick journey at high speed , and a formula one car loaded with fuel to cover a course but with a big difference , not a very great comparison but i hope you get my gist

    well on the longer races birds will have been fed by the convoyer , but fats would have been built up before they went and as stored do come into effect , as for running around the block i'd rather take the car ;D ;D ;D ;D
  24. RIP sammy god bless
