vhawk....if your birds are right out of the nest to the time they start to roll feed them up. Give them a GOOD pigeon mix 12-16% and don't be stingy....
At this age they need all the nutrietion they can get.
Only add corn for body heat,usually in the colder months. Let them fly regularly and when they come into the roll,that's the time to re-adjust their feed.
Don't let them develope any bad habits.....Like landing on anything else but the roof of their kitbox or loft, in trees, on overhead lines(electric wires)or on the gorund. And most of all remember..."Patience" is a virtue.
Fly High and Roll On
