I USED LAYERS PELLETS 4 A COUPLE OF SEASONS BUT I NOW FEED BEST ALL ROUNDER (3 SCOOPS) WITH GROATS (1 SCOOP) AND IN MY OPINION IS AN EXCELLENT BREEDING MIX.

 

So do I !!!!!!!!!!! (chicken layer pellets) for me when breeding, 10 to 20 % type thing. Now !!!!!!!, for those that may find there birds will not eat them etc, just mash them up & place it all in their water. Terrific amount of vitamins & minerals etc in them & it all helps  ;D ;D ?????????????.

Enjoy.

Hi all

 

I was in the pet shop today buying my corn when a bloke came up to me and stated that he feeds his pigeons on chicken layer pellets and that you need no other food supplements.

 

Is this ok and if so do you feed them on it all year round. I must admit i bought 500 grams to see but not sure my birds will eat it.

 

Kind regards

 

Kevin

i think Jim Emerton (the distance man) used to feed these .              andy.

[Guest kev d]

i would not feed all layers but mix it in there corn i did last season through the

winter but stoped during racing .

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Very interesting statement Kevin   would like to hear more as never used them

[Guest grizzler]

have tried them myself in the past mixed with corn,one thing i did notice was they drink more.

[Guest Grasshopper Lofts]

i used them last year when breeding and youngster looked cracking on them only down fall is green s$$t every where lol and also check they have no antibiotics in them i think this has been stopped but not 100%

[micci]

I feed them at the rate of 15% until racing begins, then 5%, always get nice sturdy youngsters, John Crowder recommended these to me in the 80s, won quiet a bit racing with them too at the rate of 15%, the birds wont over eat them as they always leave them till last.

dropping always seem solid and firm, never had green droppings with them

maybe a fed them to much but there dropping went green in colour

[gorsy bank lofts]

i supplement the feed when rearing with pheasant growers pellets,or layers pellets,high in protein easily digested and fed to youngsters.

they take awhile to get used to them but readily take them after a while.

i just put a pot of them in each nest box when laying/rearing, youngsters look great on them.

they do come medicated for worms/coxi ect usually says on label called febenvet.

but can also come with no additives.

dont feed them when racing dont know why really would perhaps help fed on sun/mon after racing may try it next year.

gamekeepers will have them march to sept normally for there birds.

as i get them free dont know why i dont use more of them .

Kev,

You can get them from Nimax at 6.50, 20 kilos, (green bag) as there are several sorts of them

was under the impression that all the chicken layers pellets had antibiotics added among other things, Liz has them for our chickens and I would not use them on our birds simply because I was always advised against it because of what they might have added, but I will check the bags closely when we get our next lot on Friday

i was told there are some with and some without,  i have also been told by the farm i got mine from they had to stop putting antibiotics in them so im not sure what the real answer is but i know the ones that farm sell dont have them in.

[BLACK W F]

i have used all the chicken pellets for years  layers rearers  and growers  and have fed 100pc  through the winter and  bred some cracking y/bs  but if racing no more than 10 pc as they do drink a lot of water   and you dont need any other supplements     go  to John Crowders RECORD LOFTS  you will get your eyes opened  only feeds pellets and barley  no supplements grit every secound day  his y/bs  are reared to perfection

[grdkeith]

they tell me the eggs were good even when the doos were not !!

[BLACK W F]

ALWAYS GOT THEM FURTHER THAN YOU  WHEN WE WHERE RACING AT THE SAME TIME HE COULD EVEN FEED 2 Y/BS AND WIN FED 3 TIMES   HA HA HA

[vanreets]

Adding antibiotics to food animal feeds was banned throughout EC in 2006. I often wonder what happened to all that 'banned' stocks of pellets at that time, did a lot of it end up being sold as 'pigeon' pellets?
