PIGEONPACKMAN Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 how you getting on any progress was intersting to read as i have had a similiar problem and found the barley sorted them out,l found feeding them a small amount of barley before leting them out 1/3rd of an ounce each 1hour before letting them out helped them fly and when i got them in a full feed either till they left barley or half went to the drinker ,i mixed 50 percent barley in with my normal mix versa laga 4 seasons.They stay in the loft the rest of the day.

PigeonDetective Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have kept to one meal per day and added higher ratio of barley.. they are trapping quicker and alot more eager when being fed Their flying has improved too, longer times etc, but I have noticed some days depending on the weather, they are waiting to get back in the loft asap for food. I might switch to 2 smaller meals, just dont want to lose any ground iv made The small meal before they are let out is a good tip.. more energy to stay out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
