I allow my breeders access to food 24/7 while they are laying and feeding
Yes, overfeeding can be an issue for birds who fly outside, but not for breeding birds, they should have full access to food and grit.I have some Pigeons in a coop and they are not allowed to fly. I am waiting for some eggs so I can have some homers. Until I get a few young Pigeons they will all be confined to the coop.
Is it possible to overfeed. Right now I am emptying feed every day and then giving them more. If you can overfeed, then how do you determine how much to feed them.
Thanks
if you are breeding, let them have enough feed so that there is just a bit left over at the end of the day, that way you won't waste alot, or pour back the leftovers in the bag, as long as you don't have poop in it and reuse it for the next day.I have some Pigeons in a coop and they are not allowed to fly.
