Feeding YBs..................

thinking of changing my yb feeding soon when training/racing starts, have them on barley,yb no maize and widowhood mixed togeather..............talking to a fancier who reccomended diet/super diet mon,tue,wed then 50% diet/50% gerry plus thurs and gerry plus friday, any thoughts anyone...?



what will members be feeding when training/racing....?

mine will get super widowhood shortly,when training starts,at the moment just on widowhood mixed with a good wheat as they where bad so put them on a like corn untill i put them right

ive got them on widowhood plus the yb and barley ray, but will you be feeding full widowhood mix all through the yb season.....? or will you lighten it at any time, maybe for the first races ?

have you seen this diet mix ? what is it? and what is gerry plus ?

Will say with feeding if you are to train hard then you need to feed very well so you are not taking anything out of the birds

thats ok what your feeding them david,seems like they are getting a fairly well balanced diet plus barley is greatly underated by some. you can always adjust if necessary when they get a bit further down the road.

hi mick, was thinking my ybs werent flying was because of the feed but have realised its because they are paired up...................

That's because the darkness brings the youngbirds on, so if i was you split the cocks and hens

david dont split them i have done this over last two weeks and my youngbirds were flying 3hrs no good no control over them , if they wont fly for long around the doors put them in the basket and train them , twice a day if you must but keep control of them i went backwards , they are all back together now

Ian the last thing David wants is the birds pairing up, cocks messing about and hens in egg,

Split them and get the birds in a routine and train them well then play with they by letting them play together in the loft for an hour then split

A bit like the sliding door system

don iam only saying what i have experienced in the last few weeks mate no disrespect but you havent race birds for years times changed get up to date mate , listen to people who are flying birds and you might pick up something to put in your files,

Ian it is what people are still doing now and winning well also

Ian i am still with the times thank you

Just because i don't race does not mean i am left behind

Funny how a few fanciers have started to use a few of my methods and are happy with the way there pigeons are racing

hit a sore point don thought i would you are obviously not with the times, as your methods and veiws are old hat but carry on don , try your best no its hard when youve been out the sport for so long ,

bet your biting now don

I must be on your mind a lot Ian for you to keep knocking me

If you put as much time into your pigeons as you do TRYING to knock me WHICH DOES NOT WORRY ME AT ALL you would be as good as Ronnie Evans and just may be you would win 1st section and open

well you cant put much time into your birds don , actually do you know ronnie evans his loft is just a mile away from me , next time iam up ill tell him you were asking about him ok gonzo

Yes please and if he wants to get in touch with me my good freind Steve Marsh has my number MUPPET
