Conditioning seed

[FoxesFan4Ever]

Hi again,

 

OK I have been advised that I should be giving my YB's a conditioning seed in the morning and I was told to buy some hemp seed and a few others and make my own. I have looked online to find some idea of what goes in these mixes  but there is loads of different kinds and although I suspect that they are all going to have some benefit for the birds I was wondering if someone could possibly give me a list..maybe 4 or 5 types of seed to make a good mix up. I only have 15 babies so not at the stage yet where I need a 20k bag.

 

Thanks for any and all help

I was told to use red band pigeon conditioner which I bought a small bag of. It smells of aniseed, the birds seem to like it, but it is a bit pricey. Cost me £4.50 for a kilo.

Oldyellow seed mix is as follows , equal quantitys of Hempseed , black rapeseed , linseed , budgie seed canaryseed and Dari , i would only use my condition seed whilst racing as will encourage the moult or for darkness ybs  , dari is  the best part of this and can be used for trapping on its own , as tastes sweet to pigeons the fanciers on the continent call it the candy seed   i give my widowers half a teaspoon on trapping am and pm and those that have used my seed mix have improved there trapping
