geordie1234 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 As i look to embark on my first breeding season after a few minor glitches(letting all my cocks oot the door ) what feed do you use and do you leave food constantly there for them or is it like ybs when they have there feed in the morning the feeder is taking out?
JohnQuinn Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 This year i am using Versa Laga breeding extra, and i feed morning&evening as much as they like for an hour. Drinkers are rinsed and replenished at feeding times, Grit and minerals in front of them all the time.
frank-123 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 going to get a couple of different breeding mixes add some layer's pellets that will do for mine
greenlands Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I'm on the new versa-laga breed/race mix with a few beens and poultry layers pellets added.A handfull of pickstone twice a day same with matrix and grit.They've just been cankered followed by probiotics,should be hatching this mo. and the rest of the week.
Guest IB Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 After years of watching birds leave various grains in commercial mixes, this will be my second full year of mixing my own. My breeding mix is beans, maples, tares, maize, wheat and hormoform fed in a pot in the nest box. I re-fill it twice-a-day, so theere's food before them all the time.
GRAHAM MITCHELL Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I,ve starting to use Bamfords Topflight Breed and Wean this year whilst breeding.Also Bamfords Topflight Allrounder. I also give them Matrix everyday and Redstone grit.They also get Cider vinegar 3 times a week in their water.

I also give them Matrix everyday and Redstone grit.They also get Cider vinegar 3 times a week in their water.ive just ordered bamfords breed and wean £11 a bag what did it cost you as i think im paying over the top.
GRAHAM MITCHELL Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I got mine from Gibbs of Galston where we get a club discount. I think £11 is reasonably priced.Where do you get your feeding from?
Tony C Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 When breeding look for a mixture with a little maize and no barley. Avoid mixtures which contain crinkled maples/peas, dust and weevils (noticeable bore holes in grains).

Tony C Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 why no barley ? it`s very important to the young !! A couple of reasons, the main one being the pointed ends can easily damage the inside of the youngsters mouth/throat when its being pumped into them. The other is pigeons given the choice wont eat it.
