Unconventional Tips/Advice

[Winfort Lofts]

What some advice or a tip thats been shared with you, or something you have passed on that you've not heard of or considered before?

I was chatting the other day to an Asian lad, who swears by adding Tumeric powder to the feed with a bit of oil.

He said it's has benefits on the gut health of the birds as well as boosting their immune systems!

Something I may have to look into this season!

I use a mix of turmeric , cayenne , ginger and cinnamon and charcoal I mix it up together and add 50 percent natural vital mineral to it
I use oil or gemthepax to stick it to the grub a few times a week

I used Yakult in water, i found this a good product.

What difference do you find it makes to the birds?

I have been told that before too, but then you see others feed bits of cheese, whey protein and other animal fats etc.

Maybe small amounts are ok?

There's a fancier in my club who swears by the motion if it's good for us, it's also good for the birds! He won his fair share too!

Don’t let all the tips out thought that was a secret
Good to see you back after your few days away

Well, as you know with these things Neil, it's not "what you do" it's "the way that you do it"

Yea, had a lovely break away with the Wife celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary

Got a mountain of stuff to get through mind, but i'm on 12 hr nights tonight so by the time I go to bed @ 8am in the morning I'll "hopefully" be all caught up

Congratulations on your Anniversary

That'll all start in about 4 weeks time

No point hitting me with that on the week of the first race, I need several weeks to ensure what's been done

The above tip about the water aint gonna make a blind bit of difference if a team of pigeons aren't going into the race in the peak of health, fitness, form and motivation - but can you get another yard? I believe so, and some races are won on fine margins

Sometimes it can be those little bits that get another yard that add up!
