Youngbird Feed for Racing

We have always used Gerry + but the last bag we bought were lousy the corn had mold on it and lots of split bits so we are thinking of trying something else for them wot do the other forum members race there young birds on thanks in advance.

i think what ever you feed y/b it has to be top quality corn
im useing 3 mixs  versa laga  diet  bamfords high protien and and  versa laga widdowhood  one pot of each  so its a 3 way mix they fly well on it

in morning  they just get the diet mix  plus a bit of gem trapping mix now that stuff to me is better than red band and a hell of a lot cheaper

other than a few nuts and greated carrots and pots of cress nor much more

oh i do add some brewers yeast to morning feed ive started to use that good oil from tesco its hemp oil about 6 quid but a bottle will go a long way

I use the same as the old birds get as I buy my corn for the season some times one comes unstuck but i have done this for a number of years it works for me its only the fact that some times when you pick up a bag of corn its not the same and found it can put the birds of form for a few days and to me not good in the raceing season

1 scoop of Gerry plus 1 scoop of depurative 1 scoop of junior o(high protein)   g10s in the morning and a little seed on trapping ....easily adjustable for distance or weather

Always feed my birds 50/50 depurative and sport mix never had my youngsters hungry but always had them on the edge
 
And when i mean on the edge when they return to the loft they are hungry to trap fast and waste no time at all
 
My youngsters were always feed in an open truff and as soon as the first 2 pigeons  left the truff for water the food was removed
 
as the distance increased so did the maize content and peanuts ware added to the feed the youngsters loved them once they got the taste for them
 
Its the same with gerry plus feed that at the start on the very short races then as the distance increases so does the maize and peanuts amounts
 
But becareful of feeding to many peanuts and use them as a t*t bit you could even put them in a food blender chop them really small  and add them to your mix
 
but peanuts have to be fresh  and not left to get damp as fungi spores grow on them and thats a big no no

Cheers Martyn for the kind comments and yes I can race a good young bird but I want to be a top old bird racer also now that's a different kettle of fish mate 
Looks like asking a few of you for some tips LOL

Cheers Gary and John kind words glad I am getting something right and yes I would feed your youngsters on the 50/50 mix for fast easy days and the first few races but as the distance increases get the maize and peanuts in the mix
