race tonics

David

You could use it for widowhood cocks as there last feed friday afternoon

don,obviously you have heard of golden boost...i bought some few weeks ago and they wont touch it, is it any good ?would you persist or just bin it?

David i have heard of it but never used it so i can not say to much about it

never heard of it have you tried them on homoform david

no ian, went to buy the homoform but they didnt have it...thats why i got the g/boost. corn man said its great for obs feeding ybs but wouldnt even touch it so i dont know.
i suppose i should have introduced it gradually and they would most likely eaten it.

more expense just get conditioning seed much cheaper and just as good

you use redband dont you ian ? do you give some in afternoon before basketing...

yes i do

is it to make them drink or because its a conditioning seed ?

to make them drink plus light feed dont want to send them too packed

spot on Ian

Must say homoform is very good but give it to the bird little at a time so they get used to it

is homoform good for use when racing or just for rearing ybs ?

it is good all year round

yes just put hanful in with feed it will sharp be gone, young and old birds

What do members think is the main fuel for a pigeon , during a long flight

plenty of protein

Yes will agree Ian

plenty of protein

is that for either long or short races....or both ?

for long races you need carbs

do you mean like gerry plus carbohydrate mix

Gerry Plus is o.k for sprint racing, but for long distance i would bring in maize

would a good yb mix have maize in it ?

not really goes on prefrence me myself feed my youngbirds on the same corn as my widowhood team superwidowhood mix with maize

someone once told me blue peas or blue beans,( i cant remember which ) are good.... anyone used them ?

no never used them david
