| ive got them on widowhood plus the yb and barley ray, but will you be feeding full widowhood mix all through the yb season.....? or will you lighten it at any time, maybe for the first races ?
have you seen this diet mix ? what is it? and what is gerry plus ? |

| Will say with feeding if you are to train hard then you need to feed very well so you are not taking anything out of the birds |

have you seen this diet mix ? what is it? and what is gerry plus ? thats ok what your feeding them david,seems like they are getting a fairly well balanced diet plus barley is greatly underated by some. you can always adjust if necessary when they get a bit further down the road. mick. |

david dont split them i have done this over last two weeks and my youngbirds were flying 3hrs no good no control over them , if they wont fly for long around the doors put them in the basket and train them , twice a day if you must but keep control of them i went backwards , they are all back together now |

| Ian the last thing David wants is the birds pairing up, cocks messing about and hens in egg, Split them and get the birds in a routine and train them well then play with they by letting them play together in the loft for an hour then split A bit like the sliding door system |
