Young Bird Methods

THE FIFER · July 21, 2010

I know we have a few threads regarding young bird losses etc, so lets get some data regarding, system,feeding, number bred, and training how many away and returns from tosses, and theries why you think you are losing,birds

I weaned 31 birds for racing, and on natural,feed versa laga Jerry pluss mixed with all round,and they get hormaform with first feed daily,and have matrix in front of them daily, my first toss (short one) 3-4 ml,dropped 5,one returned 2 days later one reported more or less in the area they were liberated,so 27 to the 2nd toss 7ml all on the loft when i got home, 3rd toss 17ml 27 all waiting on loft, this is training along the coastline on the FORTH, next will be over the water,

I have been training 47 since last week. Started them at 12mls in 2 groups of 20 odds, got them to 25mls & 40mls still in 2 groups then i put them on the Newmains training van Yesterday, and dropped 1 out of it, had my eye on it too as a pooler this week, Typical!!! They won't get tossed today due to weather so i'll need to get them tomorrow. Twice if weather permitting. :(

I have just stocked up on their feeding for the program ahead. Even mix of V/L Sport Extra, Super YB and economy mix, they get this in varying amounts morning and night and i give them Red Band, Kibbled Peanuts, Sunflower Hearts and hormoform, equal measure of 1st three and half that measure of Hormoform. They get mixed minerals, grits, pick bloc's and stones with some small seeds in the mix. liberally at night. I like mixing just about every thing they get
