My opinion you struggle feeding hemp n hearts Friday another thing is sunflower hearts are so dodgy they cab turn in a second and make ya pigeons unwell,,
If you ever feed sunflower eat a piece first if ya lips go tingle then there off and will knock ya pigeons of form,,
This is only my opinion lads but iv never had a good race giving fats end of week I like fats on Tues n wens but I know 50 different good flyers n all 50 feed different,
One thing I like is hemp on these cold early races but not as it gets warm.
Fats / carbs

Yes Devo I study feed n nutrition I did when conditioning horses n running dogs, my opinion multi vits are so dangerous when racing if you see how they restrict stamina in a horse you never use one on a racing pigeon,Devo1956 wrote: Sun Apr 28, 2024 1:50 pmYes Anthony, there are many ways of feeding your birds, put 30 members in a room and they will have different systems. But we must remember the vits and amino acids to combine with any feed.Anthony webster wrote: Sun Apr 28, 2024 12:47 pm My opinion you struggle feeding hemp n hearts Friday another thing is sunflower hearts are so dodgy they cab turn in a second and make ya pigeons unwell,,

Iv charts here for gms of fat needed from 800ypm to 2000ypm from 60 miles to 500 miles all so daily logs from my racing these are so important to me because wind temp distance iv normally a weekly log to a fed win to follow,
Totally agree about 30 members all feeding different the daft thing is the losers think feeding is a art where it's a very minor thing, but find me 30 members that win that ain't dedicated every day of the Yr and find me a winner that don't hate being beat lol.

Glad they come for you palNeilA wrote: Sun May 05, 2024 5:08 pm Had a lot better performance by my hens this week
Last week I had 4 cocks before a hens the week before 8 cocks 2 hens
This week I fat loaded the hens early like Anthony mentioned
I fat loaded Tuesday and Wednesday
Then just high carbs Thursday
I would say I had 50/50 split on returns my first 3 was 1 cock 2 hens together then 2 cocks 1 hen3 mins after the first 3 doing 1280 so not a easy day
I don’t really want to change my cocks feeding as it’s been so good to me but I did see an improvement in the hens for sure .
