Nice feed.

Expensive but really great quality.

I always fed breeders European Supreme - pricey and looked a lot like that. Flying birds got a mix of hard wheat and European Supreme - I always tweaked for performance.

Thanks holm. This helps. I'm going to be mixing my own feed soon so I'm looking at different options.

Not certain of the nomenclature, but apparently it refers to a porn site. I had to google it. I've led a very sheltered life.

Really??!!

I get two sacks of different feed and mix my own. 2:5 winter mix to conditioner feed. I'll change it in the spring for something less heavy and higher energy. I can post a picture later for you @backyard pigeons. I spent about £35 on the two 25kg sacks. It's enough to last me for about 3 months.

Ok thanks. Do you separate your breeders from your flyers? Oh and have the rabbits vanished overnight yet!? That sure would be a nice space! Lol

Still got the rabbits! I'd like to be able to keep the breeders separate but until I can aquire the space that is currently inhabited by the carrot munchers I'm limited! I'd like to allow boomer to have a pair of squabs but that would be it. I've already had to remove some eggs from my original pair. I hope I have enough plastic eggs to replace them now that I have 4 breeding pairs!

Just curious, what does y'alls feed look like?View attachment 1663859

My basic feed, 50# for $21. I add corn - more so in cold weather.

I mix in some safflower and maple peas. Since I had some wild bird seed left from a time I ran out of basic mix, I throw some in for Loper the feral who seems to prefer small seeds and doesnt like to eat hes peas.

You can hard boil(careful they are delicate) the eggs you take and use those.

I got a ten pack from the pigeon store. I'm hoping I'll only need 8 of those! No more three egg nests!
