| base mix is junior plus made by versel laga no decent farms for corn around here we are limited with feed versel laga or countrywide which is $h1t£  old maples in it with mould on so its the expensive stuff but we don't house many birds ...considering ordering my own pallet next year now I have the space for it |

| yes that was my thought, Gerry plus easy to digest...it got mine flying better and my thinking was because it was easier to digest the dreaded yb sickness might be kept at bay a bit as it would have chance to digest when the birds were closed up on the dark...  |

| couple of seasons ago when I raced ybs, up until the first race I fed just Gerry plus.......first race and birds came great, would have won the race but they wouldn't trap....sat looking at me on roof, so I changed the corn.
is it possible to race ybs the full programme on Gerry plus, or would you need to add extra maize or peas etc....? |

| I would say yes up to 200 miles in reasonable weather but across the channel later in the season they may need just a bit more fuel up to you |

| Yes the only thing I would add to it would be some energy when we get to the longer races 150,miles and over. |
