corn prices!!!!

think its down to keeness not the golden boost

im paying £9.70 for moulting mix

Price is not everything Mark as long as it looks good and the birds are o.k on it that is what is important

Have seen fanciers bye there corn from the farm and cut out the middle man

Sometimes it's the best way and cost effective

if the birds need it the birds gets it its as simple is that with me as long as its good stuff and not cheap rubbish they get it

went for corn last week and all they had was some cheap crap, i didnt have any choice and had to buy it......going to stop going there and just go to crowthers at wakefield, they have a massive warehouse full of all different corns which are all better than what im getting at the moment. for next years racing ybs im going to try buy as much corn in one go as i can therfor ill be using the same corn throughout the yb season. ive never seen such crap as the corn ive just got and i cant see anyone doing well with there birds if they race them on this stuff, worst corn ive ever seen.....

i allways use gerri plus with my onw mixture put in to it once they go down the road a bit cant go wrong with geri plus if used at the right amounts

Stormqueen will agree with you it is a good mix when you correctly

i still use a good corn in the winter not to expensive, still about 10 pound a bag i would,nt feed mine on cheap rubbish never

hi ray, what corn is it you are using, and whats in it.........

i am using best all round mixed with moulting mix,not to much wheat or barley as there droppings where not as good with to much in but now perfect since i decreased the wheat,plus i want a descent corn so that the young birds can develop better as they have a long hard season a head of them

It is not all about the cost

You can get the same kind of corn direct from the farmer at about 40% cheaper still good corn

hi don, do you mean as a winter mix or for racing and breeding on....

If you know your corn for everything mate

ah right, going to buy a few bags of breeding mix over the next week or so......see what they have thats decent at this new suppliers as last year it was rubbish at murray and mills in leeds.

iam getting some english maple peas to fill they pots up with whilst feeding young

Always had a pot of maple peas in the box at all times as soon as the young birds had hatched

tried to buy some hormoform this breeding season just gone, didnt have any so the cornman said oh this is good stuff....golden boost, wouldnt even eat it and then when they eventually got used to it the ybs were no different, wasnt impressed......

David it is very good stuff and even better when breeding young birds

golden boost ? thats what he said but i had bred bigger healthier ybs the year before when i fed pellets..........

Homoform is very good for breeding young birds

yes got told that don, he didnt have any when i went thats why i bought the goldn boost. have changed my corn supplier now and i know they will have the homoform this year.
