| those racing roundabout, do you feed cocks and hens same way, same mix, same amount? once a day, twice? in boxes or all together on floor?
New ground for me only raced cocks in the past. |

| i used to feed a diat mix to my hens they did well on it up to 300 miles i never raced any further than that at the time i remember sending 9 to berwick and locking up the loft after 15 minutes of first arrival we had visitors that day to i remember it well i never trained much either but they would fly well enough around the loft think it was versel laga diat 1000 i used but went widowhood after that season ,on roundabout it was usually the hens outdoing the cocks ,for me anyway but have never had a big team as such atb |

| We feed both exactly the same . No different what so ever . At present once a day so as to control them and get used to new sections and trap . When the work starts, twice a day. All fed in troughs as well as much as they want . Done the pots but tent to waste a lot that way in my opinion.. |
