100% agree. They see you coming. Fanciers WIN on ALL mixes.(if they didn't they wouldn't sell them) When I worked shifts I often fed them just beans in a hopper, I admit I didn't clear up but I did WIN races, not against a handful of members, but up to 50 members sending each week.Trev wrote: Mon Nov 18, 2024 10:44 pm Personally I think this whole feed and supplement buisness has just become a money making racket and the manufacturers are rubbing their hands all the way to the bank courtesy of us gullible pigeon lot.
That mix looks decent enough Neil, but so do all the others that are available, it's all a matter of preference, as long as it works for you then it's good enough. What does make me smile about that mix though is how they describe the wheat and barley as "Pigeon" wheat and barley, I'd like to meet the farmer who grows a special variety of corn just for pigeons
Or maybe we are
I've never in 50 years racing bought a bag of Breeding, Resting Moulting, Widowhood. or YB mix. I've just bought straights or a decent mix.
Since I stopped racing they get the same mix 365 days a year with added barley (diff % though out the year) and the YBs bred are raised as good as anybodys
