Guest lenwadebob Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 So what your saying jas is that it would be better if i get my missus pregant and try and time it so shes had our baby in jan then get her a breast pump and then that milk would be better for my birds gd idea sounds expensive lol Stick to te SMA Rob, cheaper in the long run and less hassle ;D

Guest mick bowler Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 I used it two years ago, not much difference really, an when i used it in water it made a mess of the birds head and throat feathers. At the end of the day not sure if i want artificially inflated YBs!

At the end of the day not sure if i want artificially inflated YBs! Thats what i found when in water, thats why i put it on the food,

Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 i'm with you top stuff i give them anythink that gives them a good start in life and im with you lol as i like to put mine on the corn as i feel in the water im frightened it might go off or stale so i mix it up just before i feed them on the corn so its all gone mind you before any one says dont i leave any in the loft i feed my birds 5 or 6 times a day as evary time i feed then the young birds get fed and then there crops are full all day
Guest bakes Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 i have used it got recommend by a top flying partnership around my way they said you wont big youngsters give them sma gold iver in water or on the breeding corn mix we opted to put on the corn as was worried about it going off in the water and the youngster we have had we are over the moon with them pick of one of the youngster we have still in the nest all the best.
pigeon princess Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 does it have to be sma gold ive got sma white (for hungrier babys) for my son because he a porker lol

We feed our babies it but does it change them as adults, does it turn every baby fed on it into super athletes or 6ft 6 inch giants? Im sure if your birds never had it they would still win races, i doubt feeding this as squeakers makes little or no difference to future performance. YBs need a good start i agree, but a fancier should not need anything apart from good corn a few essential mins etc and good clean water, with maybe something like gemthepax to keep droppings firm. I think you'll also find a lot of the mins and trace elements in it the bird cannot digest or are bad for the bird.
ally mac Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 Not raised on SMA!! They look real good Mick, hope they do the business. Al.
Guest frank dooman Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 i aggree with mick on this one not knocking it if youfeel happy with the results so be it but i will stick to letting the old birds feed them and if any dont look the part they have to be delt with and that pair watched in future ive used the g10 pellets this year and i think i can see a small difference in the y/birds but not much but what concerns me a bit is i feel the old birds look a wee bit on the fat side aswell so will wait and see how that goes when raceing starts ive never had any prob rearing strong y/birds useing only good food and clean water in the past realy dont know why i changed this year but time will tell
cheq hedgehog Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 yes sum good and bad feed back there this is stuff thats made for babys thats not on solds yet so there every thing in it thats reqired for a infint ta grow of coures it will build the birds up and breeding birds in the winter is not natural so of course its a advantage when winter breedin as birds have less light ta feed freely ? that way there lackin little and i no a dog breeder that the *expletive removed* had all so turned away its pups and thay were feed this same stuff and when thay where ready ta go thay went the 8 of them when there new oners seen them it was out with the cash and away thay went so a little thing for the dog lads ta look in 2
Guest gladdo Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 WONT DO THEM NO HARM BUT GOOD ... HOWEVER I USED IT BEFORE ALRIGHT WHEN I OT THEM MILK ALL FOR NOTHING .... THINGS ARE ALWAYS BETTER WHEN YOU GET THEM FOR NOTHING BUT YOUR BIRDS SHOULD NOT NEED THIS MILK IN MY EYES AS JENCE ME NOT USING IT THIS YEAR MATE BUT ONLY MY OPINION MATE.... MIKEY ( DUBLIN , IRELAND )
Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 now my birds dont need the milk to breed nice youngsters i use it because i think it helps the parents as well as the youngster and if the is a 1 percent chance that come racing my old birds after rearing are in better order than any one elses il take it because it might only be that 1 percent you need to win , as for my artifcial made young birds isin every thing in this sport artificial you say all they need is grit and minerals do you let your birds go feilding then mick or do you supply them with it in a pot ? artificial ! do you race widowhood artificial ! this sport is full of it and at the end of the day its about finding the edge and i think by giving my pigeons milk and it makes for better babys with a better start in life and helps the parents by not taking so much stress out on them i will carry on using it
