YB racing mix ?

what do members feed the ybs when racing.....? yb mix with no maize/with maize etc, or same mix as widowhood cocks ?

im feeding versa laga y/b no maize/ with maize longer distance

ah right, ive just got some yb mix from crowthers with no maize........thought id put them onto this while they are young and then maybe change if needed for racing, just wanted to see what other members did.

think this was around £9.50 a bag steve............not bad i thought as it looks quite a decent mix.

i ween youngsters on beans and maples then once they are flying i put them on widowhood mix wih maize they stay on this throughout racing

yes i use the maples,then super widowhood when racing and training

geri plus for young birds and old

do you just feed geri plus or do you mix it

i,ve never used that geri plus ,was thinking of trying that aviform stuff ,is it any good

spot on ray but geri plus is better

what is geri plus then ian, a widowood mix.....?
i just got a bag of yb mix for when ybs are weaned then was going to put them onto maybe a widowhood mix for training/ranging and racing, altho when we raced before we used to feed the w/hood cocks on w/hood mix but always fed the ybs on yb mix all the time even for racing and the flew well and won their fair share....

grei plus is a carbohydrate mix david i give it a couple of days after return

so its not the food they are fed full time on every day.....?

post race build up corn David

hi david about two weeks before the racing starts for young birds start giving them geri plus every day plus a little in the morning before race up to 130 miles after that they get some widowhood mix half and half david for the longer races

I do much the same as some have already said. I wean youngsters with maples and small beans, then super widowhood with extra maples and popcorn maize till training then only super widowhood, with added popcorn maize and barley.Keeping it a bit on the light side, fat youngsters are crap.

taylorschoice new corn for darkness, theyve brought another out m&d evans mix, just ordered more new zealand peas, bread and depurative

hi john, what is geri plus....? is it like hormoform type of thing.....? or is it a corn mix.....?

Gerry Plus is a young bird mix which is done by versa larger, its good for sprint racing fast races but needs extra added to it for extra mileage when needed

geri plus is a carbohydrate mix for old and young don

Ian it's what is used in my area for sprint racing as the youngbirds don't put loads of weight when feed it.

But maize is added when the races turn hard and the wind is on there noise thats when the extra carbs are needed (maize) as geri plus does not provide the extra needed

If you look closer no one uses it as the widow cocks need a little more as is in the commonly used widowhood mixtures.

most members in our club use gerriplus for widowhood cocks i myself use it i also know a few members who only use gerri plus without widowhood mixes and this has already got popcorn maizein it the carbohydrate content is about 60%

Well, i am only saying what is used down here and that find better used for youngbird flying

iam not disputing that don everymember to himself but youve got to get facts right its not a youngbird mix
