In this video "Feeding pigeons the economical way" I am showing a diferent method of feeding pigeons that is 50% less expensive. Racing pigeons need high quality food but it doesn't have to be flashy!
Has anyone told you lately you have Amazing birds both in looking and their performances everything looks like it's coming along really well buddy!! Keep up the good work Brotha!!
Good advice. I'm currently doing research on pigeons for the future and this was very helpful. One thing I would do different is that instead of just, corn i would use a cheap wild bird mix along with the laying pellets to add some variety
I am sure the feed will due just fine, hardest part is getting them to eating it not the nutritional value. I got a 50lb bag of deer corn from tractor supply for under $10 that I mix in occasionally on colder days for the birds. Haven’t tried pellets yet but have considered using them. Keep me updated on how well they do. Great video as always!
Pigeons look very healthy and the pellets are very good for the youngsters and for the parents I've been feeding my pigeons pellets for many many years and I mix it up with everything by the way I like the music that you put on the video
Not sure if you can get it where you’re at but I can get Scratch Feed from TSC for a couple bucks more than whole corn and it has all the small grains in it too. Thanks for another great video.
looking good Mike. Like the looks of that Trenton and the Meulemans but all your birds are looking healthy. Also the Satinette’s are producing some cool colors. That original black lace molted out great.
Love the videos mike I really enjoy your channel I myself breed 80 youngsters this season and ready for the young bird season well I'm from the Caribbean and we fly island to island over seas races so it's not many land flying so it be tough here but your videos are brilliant
Very nice birds love your videos I always watching. I have some Pakistani high flyers if possible I would like to get a pair of pure white from and a pair good flying ones. Thank you so much
Hi Mike everything looks great hope you don’t loose any but no matter what we do there will be some. I have been feeding pellets for years and they are great and after they get used to it they will love it😘😘😘
Understandable my friend. Unfortunately for my feed bill I am Doing the opposite. I decided early on that I was going to try to fill my racing basket which is 72 so I need to start with at least 80 🤪
I would give ghem pellets first and aftey all eat some I give them corn or whatever I want to give them. If you mix them they won’t eat the pellets until they are hungry👍👍👍😘😘😘
Hi Mike, I feel your pain on the feed price increase. I have started mixing one part pigeon feed(peas, safflower, wheat etc.) one part cleaned scratch grains, one part shelled corn. With 5 pounds of peanuts mixed in . 50 pounds for the other parts. Game bird breeder pellets work good for breeding or molting birds.
Thanks for the tips my friend there are a lot more options than people think 🤔 I been stuck paying way too much for too long! Thanks for you comment ✌️
I don’t plan on cutting the wings. I had mentioned putting an elastic around the four flights just for one day so they don’t fly off on their first release. Taping would be the same idea. Thank you for your comment
Hello sir, I am writing from Romania. We found a pigeon , a young one, probably fell on the first flight. We took him home until he repaired his leg but he doesn't want to leave anymore; we take him outside and he sits on our shoulder or head. What do you advise us? He make dirt if we keep it in the house, we clean all day, but it has become attached to us and we love him. What would be better for him? How do we keep him out? Thanks and best wishes!
It sounds like the pigeon is very young. When he is ready he will start flying around the yard. Once he does that he will continue to go father and father away. But he will always return as your home has become his home. You can make a small loft or cage outside And once you keep him in it for 2 to 3 days he will return to it for his home and food. Good luck with him sounds like he is a nice pigeon
I just had to hatch from the same nest. I assume you’re talking about the Satinets. Email me and we can discuss it. Thanks for your interest rockyridge0725@gmail.com
They come and go sometimes I see them every day and then it could be four or five weeks before I see any. It’s been a pretty good winter compared to last winter and I saw my first Cooper’s Hawk today in about a month.
I don’t advertise the white pigeons because I have so many people that are waiting for them. But I will start breeding them soon and hopefully get them out to people that I’ve been waiting. Thanks for asking
