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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 We don't have holdovers. You have longer races where the birds are in the basket more than one night - how are they fed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyleakin Lofts Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
