when and how much

when and how much would you start givin you birds peanuts for the build up of a long race say 600 miles ???

i watched john halsteads dvd he builds the birds  up about 2 weeks before the race slow adding  3 to 6 pea nuts per day who can argue with him its not very often he dont time from the long races

Rene for me i would as Graham says build them up for 2 weeks but in the final week they should be 50% maize and 50% Peanuts which can help with the build up of fats

But if i was you get the peanuts for human consumption from the health shop and use as you need them mate as peanuts can get damp and have fungi spores growing on them a big no no mate

some very good advice here as to when and wear morrisons do nuts for humans first quality  but them alone wont win you 699 mile races alone thays why im saying follow john halstead he vever fails you need good birds bred for the job prpaired well in advance all races mapped out before the season starts not as and when you think your going to send its a proven fact by the top men many times over select the best prepair it pree hand if good enough it will reward you not in all case but a fair race it will a desater race well them that get through as add shrackens says keep the supers only

If your unsure about the peanuts blast them in the microwave that will kill any fungi etc

Dellboy !!!!!!!! I have a good mate, ex UNC man along with his father etc. He has told me how there birds used to quite often go up to the slag heaps, from the mines in their area. At times they were covered in it, but they certainly gained a benefit somehow from going there, for what they said to me. Strange !!! but pigeons know best, one could say.

How fortunate am I Don  my wood heater is going 24/7 here of late.
So no shortage of charcoal etc. I always remember reading once on the internet, about a doctor/specialist who travelled overseas quite often & the first thing he always packed was his charcoal tablets. Tells a story !!!!  in it's own way I think.
