When rearing young the more protein they need (beans, peas, tares)

 

When racing more carbs and fats are needed which = energy (maize, wheat, barley, dari, hemp, safflower, peanuts, sunflower)

 

When moulting they again need a feed high in protein.

 

Winter months feed as cheap as possible (wheat, barley, oats, beans, peas)

what days do you give carbs and fats leading up to race and what else would you give them

Take what I say here with a pinch of salt because if I knew what I was talking about I'd be doing videos

 

I feed a high % of carbs throughout racing. Fats on the other hand I try to keep low in the first part of the week and increase at the end. Depending on race distance and whether its going to be a blow home or nose ender regulates when fats are given and what quantities. The thing about fat seeds is that if fed as part of their regular diet the pigeons become picky & choosy and flick the larger grains out and it becomes one hell of a job to maintain their appetite throughout the season.

If I feel they need more protein at any given time I'll add brewers yeast to their feed also adding pellets.
