Pigeon ??

[Sjt657 191]

I'm picking my first ever polecats up at the weekend .. But my question is I have been shooting today got some pigeon for my tea cut the breasts out but have saved the rest . But cut the heads off as all head shots I'm going to stick in the freezer for the polecats is this ok ?? And at what age can I give to em ? They will be 8 weeks old when I get them .

Yes they will eat them from the day you get them mate

I'm off roost shooting tonight too get mine some pigeon it's all good mate

Best thing for them. The only thing I do is pull the crop out in case they've been on ivy or some other berries, but that's personal preference.

Thanks guys ...!

[ferrety f 23]

I do same.. pull crop out then feed whole

[The one 8,513]

Aye i wouldn't even bother removing the heads mate

i pull crop out and sling it to the hens if the pigeon has a crop full of grain dont need to worty about lead either, mine get shotgunned quarry and they have been fine.

Up unto this year I gave mine nothing but woody, I plucked them removed the breast's ( for the table ) and the kits loved them and thrived on them, the plucking was only to do away with the mess of feathers blowing across the yard, your 8 week old kits will love them, I hope they do well for you.

cant beat a good fat woody to feed em on..they love em.

Mine won't touch them unles I take the breast off and then chop them up but my little kits will savage anything demolished a rabbit down to the bone in a couple of days
