ferret333 746 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Wheat as a main feed when flying. Couple days theyll get a condition seed and or a pigeon mix . Winter I usually feed breed and wean. Plenty of protein Dont forget grit and mineral 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They had a bit of a fly and spent an hour sitting on roofs then came back and went straight in. Might let that white speckled hen I got off you out with em tonight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One was called tucker but it escaped after 2 days and disappeared....so the white hen you gave us is tucker2. Then there is boggle and the big cock bird is vulcan. You know what my wife is like, she's now making them bird treats All out tonight and all back in perfectly. The little grey squeaker came out and sat on the kit box roof as well. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
