buying roller feed in birmingham

[tipplerboy]

i need to know where i can purchase feed for my rollers in birmingham does anyone from brum know where to get it and what type to buy for rollers ,any large bags of a particular make or any info will be of help,thanks

[tipplerboy]

would a bag of BUCKTONS PIGEON DEPURATIVE be the  right type of feed for birmingham rollers?

[Merlin]

Best mix your own if you are just flying them,wheat,barley,milo,also much cheaper than store bought feed. Then about once a forthnight get some protein into them for one day feed.Depurative is sufficient if you wish to feed them this.

[tipplerboy]

but where could i buy it from if not from a store?do you mean  from a farm?

[Merlin]

Yes from a farm,its much cheaper if you can manage to get some.

[jimmy_84]

aparantly it is hard to get hold of for another month i have just phoned a few of the local farms and they don't combine till next month

 

what is a depurative i find it hard enough to get the corn i feed now which is mixed Maize, pea's and wheat i have been picking out the maize but it is a right pain in ****

 

If anybody in manchester area  know's of any where close to altrincham where i can get it from plz let me know

 

Tipplerboy sorry to but in on your thread

[tipplerboy]

thtas ok mate, what do you feed your rollers at the moment as i dont know what they should be having ,i know it should be mainly wheat based

[jimmy_84]

yes i just buy a standard corn mix and pick out the maize they get maize in feed once a week and they don't do bad while flying they still preform but would be better on wheat and red band occasionally so i have been told

[pjc]

you will probably find any local farm supplies store will have wheat and barley to mix your own.

Rollers will perform-raise young -ect- on Wheat only.Maybe keep grit for them at all times.

If your are going into compettion you will need to "twek" the food.

Maybe look for a Roller group through the internet--Yahoo-etc.

Hi Don. What do you mean by "twek" the food.
