http://www.squark.co.uk/pigeons.htm look for Barley and follow the chart it gives the protein content and also on the lower chart vitamins where as most crops differ from year to year and location grown these are a guide to normal adverage content , as for green colouring in peas i think thats first year secondary education on plants life cycle obtaining energy from the sun and storing it as starch this starch is a green colouration also known as chlorophyll i hope that answers your question if not the internet is a great tool

im feeding mine 18% maples and rest in wheat , nothing wrong with your droppings greenland there always firmer with barley

mine were a nice green colour because i was feeding green peas but once they had all gone had to buy maples in ill have to get more drums to store corn in realy i could do with a corn store so can buy enough in to last , the naturaline probably also helped the colour but now more brown due to the maples , but still same firmness size and shape with a nice white cap i dont use the naturaline as stated i use a capfull in every fresh drinker

green a white dropping probably means your feeding green peas

god bless rest in peace , may i offer my best wishes to his family and frinds at this sad time

I have never registered to the 'other site' should of sent user a nice virus and rest assured i wont be using the other site although when im away i do have access to a computer but i dont use it as its at my inlaws and to use it in my mind would indeed be discourtious when im enjoying there company id rather have a few beers and a few rounds of golf but as i havent joined all sites my user name could indeed be used by someone else , if you ever need proof ask the site owners lol for those that know me they have my phone number

well went up spent a few hours with him luckly enough he had no black outs that day so thank god for a few mercys and may he gain a bit of health so he can get back to his birds

Racing Pigeons the true Stars in the skys ? never any good at titles

happy birthday to all 7 good god be worth getting a hotel and making a day of it lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D will need a high celing so as not to burn hotel down with all them candles on cake

Only stress in winter is the moult which takes alot out of the birds so birds flying out whilst moulting would be under alot of stress a bird that is allowed to rest during this period will be less stressed

aye others Billy Mc Kechny or something like that Chris however i will go the 200 mile round trip to go see him

i think you'l find he lives at Chester - le - Street in Sunderland but what a kind offer Chris :-/

i have had one for quite a few years now and as you say better for the car and even better for the birds are you selling yours then ?

ill send him the thread link then he can check it himself thanks members for your kind words hopefull this will give him a boost to see him through these hard times

For a few of you that might know him on here hes not been the best of health for quite some time now and as hes mostly bed bound now and showing no signs of improvement , hes not able to spend much time at the computer and as hes suffering blackouts obviously not safe for him to be on it. However he would like to wish all members on pigeon basic a belated happy christmas and wishes you all a happy new year and a great 2009 . Billy is dependant on oxygen and has to go on this as soon as does anything even walking leaves him short of breath , but the blackouts are making me concerned and also his wife so i've done this on his behalf , however i will pop up and see him tomorow , here's Billys email to me : hi mark happy new year sorry ive not been on to you,as ime still having it rough the aras nurses have been coming out every day,this is me just getting up from bed,ime going down stairs not sitting there till after tea then going to bed early,still having 2orthree blackouts a day when coughing nurse said on Monday its touch and go if i should be in hospital or not but she said with having my nebuliser and oxygen on 24hrs a day and she has also put me on chloride infustion but i take it through the nebuliser inbetween my nebuliser use it sounds confusing it the way ime putting it,i take my nebuliser every 4 hrs and i take this other stuff 2hrs after then my nebuliser 2hrs after that.i was wanting to wish all the lads a happy new year mark do you think you could do that for be as ime coughing and frightened incase i pass out up stairs sitting on my computer chair,i would be greatfull if you could do that mark.i think it is 9 weeks now since i was out of the house ime as white as a sheet waiting for the sun.speak to you later mark wife likes to see where ime at to keep an eye on me. billy So heres hoping he makes a recovery and gets back to spending time with his and his partners birds
