| For a bit of fun we will be putting a tip in each write-up. Angela and myself have managed to win 200+ 1st and we think some of these tips just might help others flyers to | ||||||||||||||
| do the same | ||||||||||||||
| Before we go into the tips you must start with the right ingredients: Good Stock; Dry Loft (not overcrowded 7sq feet per bird, so a 16x6ft loft will house approximately 14 | ||||||||||||||
| Birds) Good Ventilation; Be willing to put time into their birds | ||||||||||||||
| This weeks tip | ||||||||||||||
| If you feed in pots in their boxes and use a corn tin to call your birds in, do not use the same corn out of the tin to feed them, as the small grains in the mix goes to the | ||||||||||||||
| bottom of the tin, then when you come to feed your birds they will get an uneven mix of corn. A much better way is while the birds are out flying put the corn in the pots, | ||||||||||||||
| then remove any corn in the corn tin and replace it with peanuts (human quality) call the birds in with this and once they have eaten the corn give each bird 3 or 4 penuts. | ||||||||||||||
| they go mad for them and you get great trappings. | ||||||||||||||
| It's not to late to join The Croddy Nom just give us a call. | ||||||||||||||
