How much Grit

[Spieker-Loft]

Been having a bit of a dispute with my father the past days over the feeding of grit and minerals.
Some of the grit and minerals that we use say to only give about 5% of the whole pigeons intake due to its trace elements etc.
My father argues the point tho that they should have as much as they want because they only eat what they need.

Ive been doing what he told me to and they have grit pretty much everyday as much as they want besides the racers on basketing day. but it still doesnt quiet sit well with me that the recommended ammount is only 5% of the whole daily intake of the pigeon and he says to just let them eat as much as they want to

I found that there is grit and then there is "grit." A lot of the grits that are available today seem to me to be like a supplement.
I give mine De Patagoons and found that they just gorge on it so I only give it twice a week but they do have a normal shell/stone grit in front of them all the time.
