Nearly, double the price of the normal type chicken pellet down here David, but about the same price as pigeon pellets etc. Me being me Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Wink Wink I will just keep it a secret here, what I tend to feed Smile Smile.  Now Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes sussed out a new grain store here today. Mind boggling the different type pellets they had there if one wished to buy as such. Name an animal/bird Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes & they had a special pellet there which you could buy/use. cheers

Abit more expensive with p&p but im not going to be using loads of them..
The ones i was told to try are smaller than other rabbit pellets so easier to get them eating them...
I hope

Seen much the same here today at the grain store FW Smile Smile. 1/3 the size of the normal rabbit pellet etc, which would make them more appealing to the pigeons I suggest. cheers

same as they do with "pigeon pellets" fieldy, ive found they take a while to get used to them, just give a small % of them mixed with other corn at first, gradually increasing it......

that's if they are not normally in their every day diet....

best time to get yer birds used to anything new in the feed is over the winter before breeding commences its no good giving new things on the eve of hatching they will leave it

Many moons ago here FW Smile Smile I used to make a porridge from groats, linseed & a few other goodies etc Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes. Youngsters grew like chooks in the nest & the strange thing was bounce bounce I bred a multitude of 11 flyted babies back then. So much so, it become embarrassing to the extremes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes. cheers

Heard of many recipes for pigeon feed enhancers. My daughter in law is visiting next week. She is bringing me an ounce or two of hemp seed. To grow plants from. Some are apparently 'High test'. Some are less potent with different properties. She is well versed in making Cannabis oil and cookies with marajuana in it. Cookies. Will experiment, see how the birds react. Made from the leaves of the plant. Buds are for smoking and mine never picked up the habit. Possibilities are endless! Pigeons attacking hawks? Cats? Maybe flying in circles for hours. Interesting!!

will you race the full yb program on Gerry plus fw, or add heavier corn as the distance gets further...?

I never force my ybs up to fly, I try to keep them down for as long as I can, giving them plenty of time to get accustomed to the surrounds ....

No once they go on the race mix they stay on it maybe a few peas mid week if i think they need it.
Mine always exercise well range even after a few races (kiss of death will go like crows now).
Longest yb is only 270 mark

I doubt if it matters what you feed your pigeons. Basic cheap mix is as good as anything. Long distance add more carbs. Short distance go the other way. Love of home and health win races.
