Feeding pigeons the economical way

[@chrismunro4385]

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!!

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for the compliment my friend. Can’t wait to start flying going to be so real good fun 🤩

[@whitehouseloft5205]

Nice update. Love the meulemans and the mealy pied is beautiful. Hopefully they will all fly good. Good luck with all of them.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Hi Thomas, I knew you would love that pied 🤩 I hope your breeding is going well 👍

[@whitehouseloft5205]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons yes it’s a beautiful bird. Yes breeding season in full swing. I have eggs everywhere!

[@DonALofts]

I feed mine the same for years with great sucess in breeding. I add wheat as well in summer time and less corn. Thanks for sharing.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for the wheat tip Don. Glad to know you do the same and it works well.

[@jorgecanales798]

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

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

That's a great idea! Funny you should say this now because thats exactly what I am doing now! It's working out great 👍

[@abetntwarrios8882]

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

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for the info about the pellets and I’m glad you enjoy the videos my friend

[@yanjijay6752]

Great & yeah I've been doing that as well just straight up whole corn & chicken pellets plus grit & whatever I can find that's cheap & affordable

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Have to look for other methods. I know it’s not as flashy but as long as they stay in good health I am all for it 👍

[@IREmicfox]

[@zorrosracingpigeonloft2148]

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!

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

So far so good, today they ate them right away without hesitation and actually looked like they were enjoying it. I'll let you know how they do 👍

Well done on first round of young ones. New Bald heads are really nice. 👍

Very nice Mike, with the price of feed going up I wont be raising as much this year.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

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 🤪

[@pirrgang]

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.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes thanks to you I have some of the best satinets around. Hope all is well brother 👍

[@pirrgang]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons I am glad you and your daughter like them. I think some of the cleaner ones could do good in a show.

[@bassinontheelkhart4871]

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.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes we have a tractor supply will definitely check out the scratch feed thanks for the tip

[@danielfreitas9084]

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

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Best of luck with your birds this season. I’m hoping for around 80 myself. Thank you for watching my videos I appreciate it my friend👍

[@roncanan6840]

[@xiongguysloft9560]

Good stuff man, i used to feed them pellets and corn and still do from time to time. This year I’m just trying something new. Good luck 👍

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I just feel they should do just as well with half the money. But I will monitor them and see how they do. 3 days in and no change in flying time 👍

[@Mid-Americabulldogs]

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.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

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 ✌️

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!

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

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

Put the tape around wings for a week don’t need cut anything let them just walk around before they are start flying.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

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

[@garibaypigeonsloft1920]

You don’t sell the white pigeons

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

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
