on the moult

Own

I always gave my birds a bath when moulting

I would agree with Ian on the amount of times you feed them

A good barley at at least 50% is good during the moult

just got some nice moulting mix today for mine.......seems alot of different seeds in it and it was reasonable at £11.90. cant remember name but ill post it on tommorrow and see if anyone has used it before.

is it bosmolin i think thats how you spell it

cant remember ian, but bags got a nice picture of a pigeon on it..... ill have a look and see.

For moulting it is all about small seeds as the pigeons do not need the large corns like maize as they are not racing now

Having small seeds also helps keep the fat of the pigeons during the winter period

But only feed once a day

yes don cant be having them putting too much weight on

ill have to tell the wife that, instead of her having 6 meals a day.......

cant be saying that about your loved one

your right ian, i wouldnt say it about a loved one.........

whats the pigs head for

your not suggesting your misses

you cheeky man, thats not a pigs head.....thats a photo of the wife,

good job she cant get on here or id get a right kicking......

I Give Canary Seed To My Birds And They Are Flying Threw The Moult

Why rush them through the moult ??
Ken

theres feathers all over the place in my loft, most of the old ones are heavy in the moult and the ybs are dropping to bits....apart from a couple of older ones that have more or less finished now. (and a couple of latebreds)

At this time of year the vacumme is worth its weight in gold
Ken

yes ken, funny you should say that.....a member was asking any tips for feathers the other week and i sugested the vacume...lol ive seen it done on a large scale in big lofts.....

I bought a cheep one from B & Q its more than paid for itself over the years
Ken

i know what you mean, its a nightmare cleaning out with them....and ive only got 6 to a section....lol
