After the two weeks of 24 hours of light, how much light do you have them on? Thanks for all the great videos

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

I keep my breeders on 24 hours of light from Late December to April. I want them to feed babies 24 hours a day.

After weaning the birds, did you start feeding them 1 time a day like what you feeding the race team? Im from the philippines and I want to try your system. I have watched most of your videos and I gained more knowledge from it. Thank you

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

When you wean the babies feed all they can eat every day. I fill the feeders with a grain mix each day. You do not want to stress them and they are molting and growing. Maybe at 10 weeks old you can feed them all they want once a day. My babies can have free choice of the grain mix. When you want them to fly add barley to the mix and still feed all they want once a day until they leave some barley.

Thank you 🙏 it really helps me a lot.. I have 2 weeks old young birds now. And I will try to apply your system on my next race.. so how many weeks should i start to feed them 1 and half table spoon per day? Thank you for all you tips and also your yellow drops we have here in the philippines some of pigeon store/online shops have it. So i will buy one for my youngsters and breeders.

@@chadzkiloft You can start feeding the birds the measured barley mix about 10 days before the first race. If you feed like me you do not have to train the pigeons very much at all. Did you watch my Master Feeding and you Master Racing video?

[@chadzkiloft]

Yes I watched your videos all of them and I already wrote it on my notes. Thank you for answering my questions. Today im going to load my birds to the club for traing for about 20miles. Our race/competition the bird will stay on the truck/shipping for 2 nights. The arrival of our birds will be Sunday or Monday for about 500-700km. So Monday to Friday I will apply your Racing System for 5 days. Our race will be starting by first week of May and end of last week of June.

Is the purpose of rabbit pellets to add greens? what brand / type do you use? as always Karl

[@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons]

Hello Karl, The rabbit pellets bring nature into the loft and it is to add greens. Like spring time the pigeons will eat fresh new growth greens. I buy any brand but the first ingredient must be Alfalfa.

Do you just leave out feed. So they can have as much as they want?
