Potter29 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 How much is 28 grams in ounces ? Mine are not eating a lot, today 34 birds have only had 28/30 ounces and are not flying as much as I would like. They are only doing 10 minutes or so with no oomph as they fly. My first channel race this week and have been trying to build them up adding maize and peanuts to the regular feed. Usually on an ounce and a quarter over the day and they fly well for 20 minutes plus at am and pm exercise which I am happy with as they then have free time around the loft. Having said that they are eating less than usual they are not responding to my calls when feeding in and are also landing on the house roof which I have tried to discourage and until this year has worked. 28gram = 1 ounce , atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erbar Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I have got 34 young birds that I want to race this year I had that problem they were sitting about on the roof pecking out the gutter so I cut the food back in the morning I give them 1 scoop which is roughly 250 grams that's after they fly For about an hour I let them back out at night they fly for another hour then I feed them 2 scoops which is 500 grams so they are roughly getting 3 quarters of an ounce each I think I have found that in the morning I can put my hand out with food and they will eat out my hand does that mean I am not feeding enough the birds feel good and are flying well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Everyone to their own If I have a bird that wont come in it gets shut out for the night When I let it in next day it does not get fed let it back out at night with others it should then respond immediately when called If not Bin Pigeons that have bad habit teach others the same bad habit But the biggest bad habit is fanciers allowing it to happen Spot on Mick all persistent offenders go in our loft no matter what they are bred off pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
