1 clock its just a little competition between me and my dad because we have 2 segments for Old cock 2 for old hens and 2 for youngbirds. so we each do 1 segment with our own methods feeding etc but on the same clock. Its just because we want to do things differently and this way we can both do our own thing but still be a team

You have a good set up there Leon, and a great fly in. You both should have some good racing.

Depurative and super widowhood for my cocks. Everything else just fed an all round mix. Plus my missus does give them a few sunflower hearts every morning when she feeds the wild birds, guinea pig and tortoises as the birds pace up and down the fronts waiting for her.

The young birds are on BJF Gerry mix with black rape, hemp and peanuts as their trapping mix

Old birds I feed Beyers vandebeele mix as a base adding 20-35% Beyers Hi Digest Energy depending on distance and work done by the birds

They will both have Microbz which is a liquid chicken probiotic added to their corn daily with turmeric and on a Sunday brewers yeast
