i think amino acids are important , yeast is maybe the best way of adding it

looks good

just found it on taylors choice £10

has any one tried the new naturalmine product,it contains vits ,amino acids etc being advertised this week ,but not yet on many if any websites

george brooker or a name like that was the fancier i was trying to think of

i remember reading of a lnrc winner who for the last race thurso shut all his box's and the birds were forced to nest on the floor resulting in winning the combine averages (tommy long cup)in the 80's , i think it was a gentleman from eltham area

could itn be the smaller box's you made , i remeber the pics you posted nice job but pairs would be closer together i use hemicore and mine are all in the box's on nests just a thought

just train one partner one day and one the other day , its only a strange on when yearlings are feeding big youngsters

maize and sunflower

to what distance do you fly them on this mix thanks

i think you right protein to rebuild after hard work, then 3 weeks prior fats and carbs and like you say peanut oil can replace the fat mix and barley and wheat are full of carbs, i just would rather add maize and fat seeds as i think they will eat more maize and it important that they eat well leading up to basketing.. but the idea is the same

i think fats are more inportant the last 10 days before a 5-600 mile race than beans or peas,

hemp straw for me £8.90 a bag then every couple of weeks poultry powder sprinkled on top , with deep litter to many birds in a section mess to much and do not give the litter time to start working correctly

for last feeds use sunflower, rape and chopped peanuts, and pop corn maize which can all be bought in small amounts off the high street as a base buy vesle laga super widow and add a straight barley to it depending on the work the birds are doing

velocity's are higher in the year books than they were years ago , 500 mile races have higher number of birds on the night than before as well

i think in a 6 by 4 foot you couls house 18 ybs one thing i would say is try to get them around the same age

very nice . are the tiles fixed tight? if so are the vents in the rear

thanks for the bob wires replies

cheers old yellow , just purchased mine local and they dont stock the wire so i will have to look out for the fencing wire

teaching about pigeons in a primary school and round a fanciers loft , only caught a bit of it

whats the best cord to run through bob wires i have used the plastic coated garden string but they seem to drop a little and in places become like a upside down v thanks

let them out 2 hours before your late shift and as soon as you get home from your early shift for about 1 and half hours

i enjoy his articles , even when its not pigeon related

i like to super widowhood mix , a little less protein but still maples in it

thank you all very much ,
