feed bins needing topped up , so we called into our local(ish) feed supplier Coxy-dene today .bought 3 sacks of Gem resting mix (25kg)= £10. each,and 3 sacks of wheat (25kg) = £9.each .so thats 150kg of winter feeding for £57.oo .with price of feeding costing so much these days i was happy enough with that . :animatedpigeons:

ANDY I ACTUALLY E-MAILED BRIAN WALL AT GEM ABOUT THE PRICE OF HIS FEEDING YESTERDAY AND GOT A REPLY THIS MORNING BUT A TENNER A BAG IS A GREAT PRICE!!!

in all fairness ALF i hope ive not spoken out of turn.normally buy the wheat and around 5 sacks of V-L kweeker mix for a £10 a sack (20kg) ,but V-L hadnt yet delivered and they buy in by the pallet load .seeing my dissapointment ,i think the price was a bit special.i also bought other feeding while there ,but the above feeds most of whats here. :emoticon-0123-party:

We use Gem all year round, we cannot say anything bad about the quality we find it one of the best on the Market. The price is handy too.

 

 

I'm using Gem Irish @ £14 and Gem Barley @ £7:80.

 

first time ive bought it ,there was an open sack which i plunged my hand into and was happy enough with the quality and the price.

Bought as a tester last evening - a 50KG bag of whole Oats - untreated - delivered for €15 in total !

 

Fed to my resting race team today, and for the forseeable future until February when they will be paired-up.

 

Consulted quite a lot of fanciers and forums before buying and the resounding answer was that many had quietly wintered their birds on Oats and were delighted with the birds after the winter season.

 

 

That is seriously cheap for us here. Barley was also offered, at £6.25 (€8) for 25KG.

 

Cheers,

 

Steve

good move Steve , i used to buy the Barley at the same price and quantity ,but it wasnt rolled like the oats , so too coarse .if the Barley is rolled and cleaned i would go for that too.i used to buy it back in Wales ,i know one "sprint man" that done well hopper feeding it ,with additions when required.

we use the wheat for resting birds ,hens and stock around a third of the mix. also for our "white doos" around 50% of there mix all year round ,it helps keep the cost down. hope this answers your question.

 

Cheers Andy

always steered away from too much wheat, thout it gave birds scoures,loose droppins etc,

can honestly say the droppings are fine ,if you have reservations about the wheat,you can use barley (sold in same weight and price) and you definetly wont have loose droppings with barley . :animatedpigeons:
