I did another stupid thing I was at Co-op country Junction and saw these bags of Steam rolled Barley so I just bought it for the heck of it because I heard it was good for the bird to put some good winter fat on. Well anyways does this stuff look ok to feed them? Will they eat it?

When I want to add some weight to the birds I just feed them a mixture of pigeon food with corn in it already. Don't make it harder that it's keep it simple. I have never use barley before so don't know what it does. Corn would of been your best option I would think specially for were you at.

I am already feeding them corn.. I give them as many different seeds as possible, keeps their nutrients high.. and I try and give electrolites often too keep the vits. high and keep them healthy.. :) So should I trash this bag or something?

Andrew,
Betcha they won't eat that stuff.It is rolled barley.If you're gonna give em barley use either the "Clipped Barley" or if you want to pay through the nose give 'em pearl barley,but feed that stuff to your chickens and they'll eat it in their scratch.

Hey Andrew and wattsup, one or both of you is gonna have to take the high road or take it to email. Either way, it needs to stop.
Sometimes we get carried away, believe me, I know. Let's just drop it and move on. K?

Hey Andrew, let me share this with you...I have learned and observed in life that when an individual begins to distinguish himself, there are others who are reminded of their own lack of accomplishment and thus feel the need to pull that individual back down to size.
Andrew, I appreciate your honesty and forthrightness in sharing your pigeon experience with the rest of us. FLY ON!

Andrew....my young friend, just remember one thing. Consider the source.....enough said.
You also stated".. I give them as many different seeds as possible, keeps their nutrients high.. and I try and give electrolites often too keep the vits. high and keep them healthy"..
This alone might be contributing to some of the problems you are encouring.. Remember... K.I.S.S., keep it simple stupid..(its just a saying) Like Quickspin said, keep it simple. Sounds like your adding TOO much to the mix..
Just keep on learn'en..

Just try it and feed it to them. They are the only ones that know the answer. When I tried feeding my birds with chicken pellets, it took them 3 months to finally eat it. You may never know until you tried it. My birds even eat grass seeds on the lawn during their free time.
