How Are Birds Fed On A Holdover?

[REDCHEQHEN]

Simple question really

How does your organisation feed your birds on a holdover?

[andy Burgess]

no longer have "hold overs" ?

 

used to have them back in Wales , all down to finer management . they were given V-L best all round then.

[Kyleakin Lofts]

We don't have holdovers.

Given where?

 

People seem surprised birds are ill - when the corn is tipped into the panniers on top of the sh*te they've parted with

 

There appears to be no other way to feed them

no i can honestly say the transporter we had back in Wales was bought (albeit 2nd hand) and converted to have full length troughs for feeding and water with a large tank on board for fresh water . aliminium ladders for access out side , air intake system etc . all the above were discussed before purchase , and all requirements were met.

You have longer races where the birds are in the basket more than one night - how are they fed?

On these occasions we go with NRCC. They feed in troughs through the centre of the crates. Our set-up is similar to what Andy described. We have water available in troughs on both long sides of the crates. If we had a holdover, the pigeons would be fed by this method also.

Most won't answer cause as you say it's thrown on to the sheit but the chips are clean we live in ignorance and blindly blame someone else that's the way it has always been so it must be right :emoticon-0179-headbang: :emoticon-0179-headbang:
