Guest IB Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 how much are the g10 pellets ive seen them advertised but never seen the price of them bil £17 a 20kg bag. They are a good bit dearer than this time last year, but at 10% max addition to your mixture, it lasts a while. http://www.gemsupplements.com/shopcart/index.php?p=p_6&sName=G10
THE PRIEST Posted February 7, 2008 Report Posted February 7, 2008 I personaly use 1 bag of G10 pellets to 2 bags of breeding corn so mine is about 33% pellets. When the young go through to the young bird section they get the same for about the first six weeks. michael.
brian wall 1 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 The price is £13.95 retail. To send out it's £3 carriage (actuall cost is £5.95 carriage we pay half and ask customer to pay half.) That's on an overnight delivery. Regards Brian
billy wilson Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 brian how much is the gem breeding plus with the g10s in billy
GROVEHOMER Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I've used G10's for 2 seasons now, have found the babies really thrive on them and the stock look good with several rounds under their belt. The birds took to them from the word go which pleased me. I add 15% to my breeding mix.

Brian Smith Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 We use turkey starter crumbs and have done for over ten years, they have several different vitamins and a coccidiosis treatment in them. We have just paid £7 a 25 kilo bag.

Guest shadow Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 We use turkey starter crumbs and have done for over ten years, they have several different vitamins and a coccidiosis treatment in them. We have just paid £7 a 25 kilo bag. would be very wary of using tukey pellets as the contain antibiotics as well which young birds do not need as they will not build up natural imunity
Back garden fancier Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Been using G10's for 12 months, but found no difference. Won't be buying any more when my current bag runs out.
bewted Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 A lot used to use the turkey pellets many years ago but stopped when they started adding antibiotics to them i remember that in the 80`s,,,,,,,,,,,,,,only trouble was,fanciers using them then,gave pigeons away and the new fancier had lots of problems as not kept up the antibiotics from turkey pellets !!!
Merlin Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 My own supplement boost is Pinhead Oatmeal,with a 25 kg bag sufficient for all of breeding season,dont think there is anything finer for youngsters, and later fed mixed with Cayenne Powder and a spoonful of salt fed sparingly to birds three times a week,effect on feathering is very obvious,also good for blood,and circulation,all in the booklet Eyes and Herbs by L.T.Corby
ch pied Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 i use the baileys outshine pellets for poney's , about the size of a maple pea , £25 for 25kg they last the whole year , hand full 2 or 3 time's a week
Guest shadow Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Why not meant for pigeons who are CORN eaters
jimmy white Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 i beleive that by feeding pellets , we are in fact making the gizzard of the pigeon redundant [the gizzard is where the grain is masticated by the grit etc] so maybe a a small amount off pellets would be ok mixed with grain,,,,,,but they are grain eaters
ch pied Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 i beleive that by feeding pellets , we are in fact making the gizzard of the pigeon redundant [the gizzard is where the grain is masticated by the grit etc] so maybe a a small amount off pellets would be ok mixed with grain,,,,,,but they are grain eaters correct , if pellet's are given as the only form of food , it will lead to prob's , the gizzard will become soft , the pellet's for poultry or game bird's now contain an amount of grit to aid the gizzard's , hand full 2 or 3 time's a week OK , long term at every feed watch out
rembrant2coo Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 when i give pellets it is as a light feed in the morning for y/sters , but i use them in pots in the nestboxs for the y/sters before weaning them off
ALF Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 i've been feeding the old birds pheasent chick pellets this year (25-30% of mixture) and the y/b's have been 1st class so far
ch pied Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 i use the baileys outshine pellets for poney's , about the size of a maple pea , £25 for 25kg they last the whole year , hand full 2 or 3 time's a week these pellet's can now be bought in 5kg tub's , try them , nothing to lose , everything to gain ,
pjc Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 I don't think any poultry pellets contain antibiotics any more! They used to but I think you will find that putting antibiotics in them was outlawed, check the ingredients on the bag and that will tell you. I tried G10 last year but wouldn't bother again. Phil
Guest slugmonkey Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 READ THE BAG - most pellets will tell you not to give grit I used to use pellets - Grit is crucial to YB development . until they develop a way to teach YB's to absorb vitamins E - K through egg shell I am still a grit man Peas and hand fed peanuts rule !!!
Merlin Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 Pellets should only be fed a supplement,never intended to replace corn,they are easialy more digetsable,saving on energy which is required to digest corns/legumes,and can be very benifical if fed correctly especially to youngsters,but definitely never intended to replace or substitute for corns,
