Fat loading should really start Tuesday

[philg50]

when fat grains of seed are being fed it should be in moderation along with a high carbohydrate of grains fed as well

Fats are the most important source of energy for a pigeon imo, I would happily feed no carbs for a race, but I'd never send a pigeon without feeding plenty of fats regardless the distance. For me fat loading starts Monday evening, but the full effect kicks in from Tuesday
