What corn..........?

what corn do members give ybs after they are weaned......? keep them on the breeding mix or give yb mix etc.....?

widowhood mix for me marimans with maize

but yb mix has no maize ian, do they need maize or not.......?

its entirely up to the fancier i myself like to feed them as i would widowhood

david you can also buy youngbird mix with maize in

maples as long as possible then widowhood

Has anyone heard of the new Versa_laga Darkness mix?
Its supposed to have extra vitamins in that the pigeons would normally produce if they were kept in natural light.

Im going to do a bit more reading on it, and i think i might try it

What are your thoughts?

never heard of it amanda, would be interested to hear what members views on it are tho....

From what im told it new to us in this country, but the Belgies have had it for over a year.

heres a link to their site.

Looks a good site amanda, but for me it would be youngbird mix till we start racing then onto widowhood mix but this is supplied by NaturalGrains top corn

Hi Don i use to use the natural products and flew the birds well on them. I would have used them up here, but i could'nt find any so i used the versa-laga .

Spoke to taylors choice today who says the Darkness with ic concept will be £12.99 a bag.

yes amanda have asked franky the corn man about this doesnt really know much about this

doesnt seem a bad price that amanda, have seen natural corns at crowthers in wakefield but have never used it before......might give it a try as i would like to give my ybs decent corn to race on.

Im on the Garvo Mixes ant the moment im using the breeding mix, but when they start flying i will change this over to the sprint mix
Ken

ken have you used marimans viramax

No Ian i did look at it once when i was looking for a new corn to replace teurlings when our stockest stopped selling it, it dident appeal to me, our stockest did say it sells well, and that plenty of people use it
Ken

ok thanks ken

Amanda the natural corn is very good but the price shown looks good also, the only way to get good corn and cheap is from the farm

Buy the grains seperatly and mix your own, but what i would say is you must know your corn because some corn can look good but may not have the quality needed

You will not go wrong with Natural Grains mixtures

I had their booklet, that had feeding recomendations for sprint, middle and long distance, As a new flyer then i found this very helpful. And the birds looked great on it. Im hoping to go to worcester before the start of racing so i think i'll go to Marks place off junction 9 m6. They also have extra 20-25% in some of their feeds. Do you give your birds Naturline Don?

Yes i gave this to them, and which Mark you going to see

Mark Evans (Black Country Grains)or Mark Pearson (Cosworth Stud)

Sorry i should have said Pearson. I always found him very helpful. Good prices too

Yes Mark is very good, have known Mark for years honest and fair top bloke good pigeon man also, always willing to help
