So this is a subject that comes up all the while, and no matter what we will all do it differently. So here is what i have been working with , 90% of feed mix with 5% of Coriander seeds and 5%of Fenugreek seeds. If birds are not going out flying because of the weather, replace the mix feed with barley. This feed will be used 2 times per week, other days just normal feed.

That will be interesting George.
Are coriander and fenugreek seeds easy to come by Devo. Is that for racing, breeding or moulting. I have just fed an all round mix all season. Now with the moult in full swing and racing finished I’m going to mix some conditioner in with the all round mix.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

It is good stuff George, I used it when I had my egg laying flock of chickens on the Isle of Wight. Its certainly got everything in it that the birds need, I have been using for the pigeons since starting up again. I didn't use it this year though 😕 not sure why not lol 🤔 I just never got round to buying it I guess, I did plan on using it again.
I hope it works for you mate 🤞😊

Here is a little video, on Fenugreek. Coriander seeds These seeds promote healthy digestion and are thought to be packed with antioxidants which are important for improving your bird's immune system
