  2. add a oil or you can make milk into a paste add it to corn leave it overnight to dry and feed it to them next day
  3. few pellets for first feed (easy to digest) sma milk , yeast, gemthepax
  4. can beans contain all that required for a pigeons needs?
  5. agree with your post ant but is it possible to compete on a beans hopper fed from 350 miles, with added seeds etc each evening for the birds in there box's, then maize for last 4-5 days ? or would the protein be to high allready
  6. i watched a dvd he other day and the guy said cold air drops and hot air goes up , so he said there was no need for bottom vents, this will stop a sudden temp change having said that my shed has bottom vents
  7. sre you going to hopper feed beans then add carbs and fats like tony did this year ?
  8. how did the bean feeding end up tony c ? did they perform from thurso etc will it be continued next year?

  10. i use yakult on the food and dry with yeast

    got that leighton but gerry is low preotein high carb , although some fanciers use this early in the week then go on to heavy carbohydrate widow mix would diet not be like adding sunflower etc to gerry plus
