i wont lie, mine are no where near like that in some of my birds  :-/ but working on it :-)

 

Nice droppings mate,

[leighton1984]

i allways look at the droppings of pictures when members post pictures up and some times i see very wet and green droppings i think some thing is not right in there loft.

i have been playing with my loft to get more clean air in and old air out but not to move it 2 fast and that's taken lots off time.

picture from my hens section

i have put most supplements in the bin as i do not think they help.

they get lots of grit and minerals and pick stone every day but i do not give the black mineral as i do think it makes them drink 2 much water.

i am feeding a very high barley in my mix so birds do not get fat as i do not think its good to be fat for them.

your showing off now, are they like that year round mate?

all mine are like that ,except one young cock,his droppings have always been markedly loose in comparison.he is the picture of health (as they all are) . i would normally worry because there not as good as the others ,however my cousin had a cock whos droppings were like this and that bird had 9 x 1sts undet his belt. another freind had a bird called "squirt"  for obviuos reasons it won from all race points ,now in his stock loft breeding winners ??  andy.

[leighton1984]

two years ago  they was wet and green like most.

but i had a long think what i was trying to get from my birds then i looked at all the stuff that i was trying to give them.

i never get my birds right and the loft was not right so i had to do some thing.

They is so much that gets posted up that i give this and its makes them win or some one else gives there birds some this and that.

if the birds need all of that stuff they will never stay winners for long as some thing soon knocks there birds off.

i do not think you can go far wrong if you stick to natural products as they will do little harm.

 

[leighton1984]

they do get onions but thats in with there tea i make myself lol.

[leighton1984]

Please do not turn this tread in to just jokes.

 

I do think you can see how the inside of your birds are by looking at the droppings and i do like to see nice and pink skin.

To some its just shxx but to me it tells me a story.

[Guest ROCKYandRAMBO]

mine are solid there like little mables frozen and hard lol

[whiteknight]

I don't take much notice of thier poo as all our lofts are open with aviarys,and depending on the weather there poo will change.I never close the doors open all year .

[Guest mick bowler]

My birds droppings vary too, but even if they look good it would not stop me getting rid if they can't race  

[BANDIT]

leighton my birds dropping are nothing like that at the moment,what you feeding them mate and are you giving them anything else to firm up the droppings,the droppings look great but i know for sure mine wont be like that when im racing!

does it make a difference only feeding once a day? as thats all mine get in winter :-)

 

 

[leighton1984]

i only feed once  a day in the winter but i feed alot of barley but it must be the very best you can get or if you can get it malted barley that's better.

and i feed till they stop eating the barley then food away.

hi m8,,i fed twice a day at first,,,they was like marbles,,now only once a day ,,there wetish but nothing to worry about,,,i sent there droppings of not long ago and there results was perfect,,,,the bird will let you no if its ill,,,hunching up,,blinking eyes,,ect ect,,and realy watery droppings,,,mine had wet droppings last year,,a goot fancier of ere told me to try them on just maples for a couple of days,,,the droppings was like marbles then,,,it all depends on how much your giving them and what type of corn as well...jmo...everyones different on ere,,,...

[leighton1984]

As most have read that some off the very good flyer only have one corn mix to breed and fly on.

I have seen a big improvement in my birds dropping since i have stop giving what we are told to by the company's that say this is the best stuff or this wonder stuff what rubbish it all is.

Good corn and natural products and i will not use any thing else any more.

 

Drugs are for sick pigeons and sick pigeons i do not want so for me kill the sick one.

if my birds are not sick am not going to give them some thing they do not need be cos some vet says they need it only to line there pockets.

 

If birds are so fit and so healthy they do not get stressed so easy so they do not get sick giving them drugs every week will only stress them.

i do think the flyer is the key to winning pigeons as he is the one in control of the loft the food the water the training and every thing that come with racing pigeons.
