never used it, but cant see it doing any harm to them even if fed all year round..........

it will not do any harm, as its full of goodness.......but with it being expensive instead of using all year round, just give once/twice a week

Harkers Hormoform

A leading feed supplement for racing pigeons

Hormoform was launched in 1954 and is now entering its seventh decade, such is its success

Hormoform is designed to shortfall in the staple diet whether breeding, racing or moulting

Hormoform is rich in oil & has added vitamins

Hormoform also contains Methionine which is an important amino acid which helps in the growth of new feathers.

sounds good stuff mark, one thing i did notice when feeding a friends birds was that some of the birds heads were pink and it stained my hands........it seems quite greasy

yes mate, it takes weeks to get rid of the red staining LOL

My birds were never interested in the stuff despite my trying to introduce it into their feed but now they're feeding youngsters they're hoovering it up. I put it into it's own pot (as suggested earlier) and they were all over it. I guess they're bodies must instinctively give them a desire for it when they or their young would benefit from it

Apart from staining feathers and hands it also seems to come out red too!!!

well i seen your marks today mr brown im not sure if his bantoms have laid in the loft looking at the size of them
