Yesterday I went to
Ace Pigeons in Sylmar. It was one of those "what took me so long?" experiences. Great store! I talked for a long time with Paul about feed and grit and flying. He confirmed my suspicion that the feed I was using was crap. I switch to a Leach Grain and Mill feed with 14% protein. During the growth and molt I will add safflower to the diet, perhaps even some flax seed to improve feather condition.
He directed me to some great, informational websites, e.g.
CBS Pigeons.
The birds were switched to the new diet today with the added Sunday Spinach. Happy birds. I'm still watching them for signs of illness...none.
The dissection kit should arrive by Tuesday. Hopefully, I'll have a better idea what killed Casper.
