What Age

[Michael 123]

hi all

Im getting some youngsters. They have just been weaned do i need to feed them a different feed to my pigeons at the moment mine are on a winter mix from a local shop.

Thanx

also what age would i expect them to become mature enough to breed.

I'd be inclined to breed from 'em in March and give 'em a few short races from mid May. They'll want protein me thinks. Breeding, young bird, or moulting mix.

if you know the person who your getting the y/bs from ask him what they have been getting fed and try and feed the same for a few days

then reduce his feed and increase your type of feed slowly over about a week

it helps them as changing a feed straight away in a new enviroment can knock them back a bit
