Peanuts........

if you want protein david then give them maples to pump youngbirds

ive got some of those G10 s this year ian, should i start introducing them when they start sitting the eggs so i can gradually get them used to them and increse them by the time the eggs hatch....?

i would give them when eggs hatch david

might take a while for them to eat them tho ian....?????

no

never used these G10 before, gave the bamford ones last year but were very expensive and didnt reckon much too them.......the best ones we used were turkey pellets years ago, the ybs were massive and fat..... a bit like the wife really

i used them turkey pellets as well david .the young,uns where massive like you said ,too big really and a bit hollow sometimes

dont want massive youngens ill stick with maple peas and homoform and breeding mix

new zealand maple peas, versa laga diet 1,000 for y/bs got it in ready with hormoform

i use widowhood mix for youngbirds steve once they are flying that is

1 of members got some in club to order together they get it cheaper, i ordered 15 bags 20 kg they got it fot £7 . 80 best all rounder from durham clean like versa laga, harrison & hull who i got jansen y/bs off feed what i posted in last reply versa laga cost double but 25kg

steve can you get me an address for them maples in durham as i dont live far from durham

wouldnt say they were massive as in MASIVE......just meant they were big healthy ybs which as it happened won a fair few firsts for us.........

Good comments Ian spot on

Yes maple peas are good for the young birds just leave a pot in the nest box for the pigeons to have as and when

Nice one steve

david just give your birds the peanuts whole as they come,they soon get used to them and will be eating them out of your hand in no time,just keep at it.

yes they love there penuts right enough

one or two of them getting used to the peanuts now, not mad on them yet but they are getting more used to me giving them with my hands and starting to take them from me.......at least its a start tho.

yippee only taking two years for you to give them to them
