Guest shadow Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 maples peas and lighten with barley when racing starts
jimmy white Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 i think theres a theres fine balance in keeping yb,s on a winning weight,, if fed too light , they will not grow/moult 100pc in my opinion, some do this to win a few short races,, i dont think its worth it really, yb,s well fed , well trained , will soon "muscle up" and still win yb races and make better o,bs
abiannebane Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 * A variety of seeds and grains all of which are high in oil, protein and vitamins * During the autumn months fruit such as apples and pears left on the grass will attract a variety of birds * Cheese is enjoyed if broken up into beak sized portions * Dried fruit * Dog food * Beef suet * Cooked potatoes and rice * Fat cakes
Guest Paulo Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 For YB's you want to get the balance of carbs and protein right. Too little protein and they won't develop too much protein and they tend to get blue breasts and don't fly their best. Whatever you chose to feed don't starve them if you race to the corn tin you may win a few crappy races and then nowt else
wilkins Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 once a couple of months old 1 part barley ,1 part wheat, 1 part best all round with peas , 1/2 part pellets and some rape feed 1/4 oz mornng and all they want at night add protein powder after hard fly on the corn
