corn

[Guest cowboy]

help what is the best corn mix 2 feed this time of year

[ChrisMaidment08]

moulting mix oor barly depends on preferance and money versa lager

[ALF]

Dont think it really matters too much what you feed them as long as the feeding is sound i went to buy feeding about 3 weeks ago and the guy was on the phone when i went in so i had a look at all the feeding samples and ended up buying Beattie's winter mix as it looked the best feeding of the lot on offer and was £9.25 for 25kg so cant complain there  ( i was actually in to buy moulting mix but glad i had the chance to have a look at all the feeding on offer )

[OLDYELLOW]

feed them pleny of protein and a small amount of Linseed till the first flytes up then feed them 75% barley 25 race mix avoid too much maize as it will make your hens fat and you'l have problems when it comes to laying

[Guest cowboy]

so is allrounder no good thistime year  

[OLDYELLOW]

all rouders fine all year round but you dont want fat on the hens prior to pairing up so once moults through knock them down as i said above a small amount of linseed till first flyte up

[Guest]

mine are on 50% irish mix and 50% barley

but get out to exercise weather permitting. keeps the fat off them

Dose he keep them in the aviary all winter

[rooster]

the feed at this time of year is the most important one , pigeons only get one suite to wear for the year , not like us we can swop and change ours , plenty of warm baths a good mixture of corn and seed , plus oil on the corn a couple of times a week one of the best i think is sedochol , happy moulting  :-/

i asume so someone on here may now doug nesbit rugely

[Guest Vic]

I'm amazed at some responses, surely it depends on whether you are feeding birds , that have been subjected to the darkness system or not. The mind boggles with some of the so called modern fanciers replies. lol

[jimmy_bulger]

meself i feed 80% breeding mix 20% homoform and johnsons tonic in water every other day when finished the noult they go on depuritive untill a week before pairing up

[ChrisMaidment08]

well i aint modern im dark ages

[jimmy_bulger]

never been on darkness and never will.

[OLDYELLOW]

hormoform good all year round , my young birds are natural and i aint thinking of changing just yet

[ChrisMaidment08]

i consider food to be of equal use-all year and only change if beneficial to birds

That's more like it Jim, I feed breed and wean, all the way through, till late. November. Depending on pairing time,  then three solid weeks BARLEY, plus the normal, (mainly liquid) additives. Vic.

 

 

[murphy]

Once the moult ends put them on 100% barley, until 2 weeks before you want to pair.

[Guest Vic]

As I said, Near enough!
