Recommended Posts

Mine are on 3 parts VL moulting 1 part barley 1 part mix of all I had left ( mostly dupurative ) 25 grams in the morning and then a few beans in the evening to they leave a few and round 5 to 7 grams

Although very wet down here it's pretty mild

 

Sedochol and poultry spice twice a week

Garlic oil and yeast twice week

Avidress every day

Small amount amount of matrix / clay blocks in the evening

 

Warm bath twice a week

 

One year I will feed beans barley and a bit of oil seed as I'm sure that's all they need

Feeding at the moment is 50% V/L Super Star plus, 50% moulting mix with some seeds which I have left over ie hemp,sunflower hearts,conditioner. In the water on alternate days Sedochol, Avidressplus, Naturaline and multivits all of which I use during the season at some stage.I'm exercising the birds when weather permits and they are fed 15oz-12 cocks, 12oz-12 hens but I may give a little more if it gets a lot colder.

I also dust the corn with a grit/mineral mix.

Bag breed &wean X bag all round mixed together with 25%depurative 10%trapping seed , sedichol on feed 3 days , b pure (Brewers yeast) on Tuesday .

Naturaline 2days, avidress 2 days in water.

Not sure if any of it makes a difference but makes me happy lol.

They get as much as they want once a day.ybs out every couple of days.

My methods have completely changed 50/50 barley and beans

 

 

I agree Ryan I feed about 40 per cent beans and barley just didn't have to confidence to go 100 per cent

 

Where you getting your beans ? They are more expensive than a good moulting mix here , I have been using souths barley from st Lawrence's at nazeing think it's £7.50 the last lot I got at £5 from the farm seemed to have what looked like small sharp seeds a bit like flint in it

But the beans are good just not cheap £14 for 25 kg was £10 2 years ago

Hi mate

I wish I could get it but they only stock,VL,Bamfords and souths here

I emailed Gem and I think I had to get 40 bags to get delivery of a mixture and no one here was interested at the time otherwise I would try a few of the mixtures out

I get mine in Maidstone Kent, Beans/maple mix for £8 a bag and barley at £4 a bag, all farmed by pigeon fanciers, so the barley is top quality and cut and clipped correctly

Cheers Ryan

That's a bit of a trot for me mate , very good prices though

I only winter 60 birds so wouldn't be worth the juice and time

I guess now your south road it's ideal

 

Yes a good toss and only takes 40 minutes, I do go and buy enough to last me till February so next time I have to go I'm ready for breeding

Im feeding pretty much the same as last year any fanciers feeding different to before ?

Using south feeds moulting instead of VL though

4 parts moulting 1 part dupurative 1 part barley 1/2 part seed

Hanfull hormoform

 

Naturaline in the water 3 days

Garlic oil on the grub 2 days wheatgerm oil 2 days dried with yeast and provite this year

 

I put a ounce down in the morning and feed to they leave barley at night which isn't much as they normally still have a bit of food in the tray mid afternoon

 

I know some good fanciers just moult out on dupurative , barley and a bit if seed there birds always moult great , I will have the courage to try it one year

Much the same as last year but they had no Mutine plus so I'm using Multi Task instead.Mixing 50/50 with V/L Super star and a handful of a high fat mix.Feeding just 1 ounce a day to the cocks and slightly less to the hens and they are exercising daily as the weather has been good here.

They didn't have Mutine in when I went they had traditional moulting but I though I may as welll use Souths and save £3 a bag

I bred onn Souths and farm beans and used there dupurative and barley all year so it's decent corn in my view
