Trouble though say you do that but they take all the carbs or fatty bits out the mix and it’s Thursday there only going to have what they don’t really want to eat just when you want them to eat
I’m looking for either barley or peas then work around that then build from there in my normal way
With flying a few longer races and birds coming home different days with holdovers and distance . I was wanting a mix they could top up in the rebuild that my sprinters that may have just had a 100 mile race wouldn’t pig out on

Mark gilbert n so many others feed superstar plus all week for all distances

I know what you mean
I fed 50 per cent fats last 2 days as I new there be none
The bit I can’t work out is how I go about nrcc birds and sprint in the same section
For recovery for nrcc and tick over for sprint say nrcc go up Sunday 350 miles head wind
Fed 100 miles Saturday it’s the Sunday to Wednesday feed more than last feeds if you see what I mean
I still want to build my sprinters like normal as my babies only had one race there more for fed races plus 2/3 others

Lock cocks in boxes until everything is fed then each pigeon can be fed exactly how you want to feed them .

I sound like a excuse after excuse but I got cocks on V’s mate only 2/3 have box not ideal but the v’s worked decent on a little experiment
So I cocked up not thinking of sprinting and nrcc when I did it
I put v’s at every high point
I thought of screwing a pot next to them but that goes back to feeding in the dark in the morning and disturbing them
More than I need
I could feed 25 per cent barley or beans every day and if some are recovering they can keep scoffing maybe
