Tony C Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 two peanuts per pigeon per day is enough I agree.
maverick Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Depends on what benifits your after, fuel or trust. fuel for me if you are about the birds you will gain there trust anyway

Guest strapper Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 i topped the fed by feeding my birds peanuts and small round dog biscuits(already heard all the jokes) ;D they was found pecking at the dogs food bowl and i saw them eating them....i find they will eat almost anything..with them biscuits containing loads of diifferent vits and minerals they were getting what they needed in them...this is of course besides their corn lol. as ive explained before...one of my best racing hens was called peanut.

valteng Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 me as long as they want it.... before basketing.... and a little during ordinary days....
Guest HighSpeedLofts Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Should only be two a day and you can give them more on basketing as they will burn that of during the race do you feed peanuts all year
Guest strapper Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 i feed mine throughout the racing season ,especially youngsters. oldbirds get fed what they want...they wont get fat if they are working hard...lazy birds get fat on them! protein is a muscle builder/repairer...but too much protein will be stored as fat so i see what you mean by giving too many will make them fat. throught the week i trap my birds with peanuts as they are crazy for them. i think a big tip for a novice would be to get them used to peanuts and dont over feed them with corn. steven van bremen i believe is a big supporter of usung peanuts.
wilkins Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 yp to 350 miles 1-2 a day , after 350 miles more in the ten days leading up to the marking, with sunflower, rape and dog tooth maize(if you can get it)

REDROCKET Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 My w/hood cocks get a peanut (human grade) each everytime I enter their loft. Once my y/birds have the taste for them they're offered to them by hand, if they dont take them from the hand they go without. you should try feeding them from between your lips but shut your eyes just in case lol
Tony C Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 you should try feeding them from between your lips but shut your eyes just in case lol Brings tears to me eyes the thought of kissing ones nuts goodbye ;D
Newbie2020 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 I just bought some peanuts from the garden centre, but put in for the birds but they struggled and infact couldnt swallow them as they were that big! Am I supposed to crush them up or what?

Guest KING BILLY Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 peanuts are good for the doos but dont forget to put the chees on them under the grill
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Use redskin peanuts from Morrisons, pigeons love them and are given approx 10 a day leading up to the channel races and if they want more they can get them..
