[robbiedoo.]

I have never heard any of the older fanceirs speak about not feeding their birds for 4 days as for it being a soft approach in my eyes its nothing short of cruelity and for what its worth my birds have food in front of them 24-7 365 days a year and it does them no harm at all. For whats its worth mine on Bamfords super moulting.

[neila]

I feed V L moulting but add 20 per cent barley 20 per cent beans I feed them 32 grams once a day I find there is a little corn left at 4pm and gone by 6pm so it's the right amount if it turned cold I would increase it to 35 grams

I add garlic oil and dry it with a mix of yeast and poultry spice twice a week

Avidress ( they have this all year) and naturaline in the water

 

After the moult 2 parts barley 1 beans 1 part all the stuff I have left in the bins from the racing season

[philg50]

At the mo feeding 1part Barley 3 parts young bird mix 3 parts Irish racing mix ,just tidying up whats left then probably Protien Economy ,give about 1 and a half oz per bird exercise round house every day .

[Roland]

Same basic as all the year round Tic beans and groats and a little canary seed once a week as always through out the year.(Linseed after a race). But I will add a little maize or hemp when cold weather. Winter! Small wild seed once a week is cheaper than canary lol.
