young bird feed

[PATTY BHOY]

would it be advisable to feed young racers on race week,50% young bird mix and 50%widowhood mix or just young bird mix.

[Tony C]

Its not a bad thing to knock two different brands of food together. I would add 15-20% barley as well if your racing your young birds naturally (not darkness).

the key to winning with young birds is having complete control of there protein content, at the right times of the week, if you control this u have the key to the door

[Guest asha]

Hey Pat,give more imformation,ie---Do you expect to be training 2or 3 times a day this week?

                                                    Do you expect them to loft train 2hrs morning,with short toss at night?

                                                    Do you train early morning after short loft training?

                                                    Do you intend no loft triaining,just tosses(single boomerang) ;

                                                    Doyou intend for these young to be in with darkness hens in the youngbird races

                                                    Do you intend to starve them down and destroy end of season

        if you do not giveimformation,how can anyone give you answers?

                                                           t

" Do you intend to starve them down and destroy end of season" whats all that about?

[joe61]

in the morning a handful of small seed , budgie mix, redband, or homoform, something small like that, let them out at 6 every evening then as much as they want on return, energy plus.

how hard is it,

 

 

oh happy days

Breed and Wean 100% for me, I add peanuts to the mix to give the fats later in season, I prefer doing it this way i can then control what there getting
