Molting Question!!

[Megan Amber]

Hi everyone. Our doves are currently molting and was wondering what special feed or treats they can be given as an extra nutritional boost! I know you can give ducks cat food but......there not ducks! So.........?

I switch to a higher protein meat builder pellet the same as recommended for the Cornish meat king. There will be as many suggestions on this one as their are pigeon fanciers is my guess.

for my pigeons and doves, ive tried budgie sized parrot pellets (expensive though), pigeon protein breeding and molting mixes, poultry conditioner for show and performance for game birds of mostly pheasant type derived breeds and racing pigeons, as well as laying pellets. the layer pellets seemed to work the best for a lot cheaper, and even over all as constant food. the poultry conditioner by manna pro worked the best, but was sorta rich and if constant total feed would produce large amounts of stool.
