One thing worth knowing

Bucktons don't publish a protein or fat analysis for this mix, so if you're comparing it against a high-protein racing formula on paper, there isn't a number here to weigh it against — you're going on the ingredient list and the stated feeding window rather than an analytical panel.

Why we chose it

This one earns its place for being seasonally specific rather than a do-everything mix — a fancier who already runs a winter economy feed needs something different for spring, and this is built for exactly that window. Bucktons' name carries weight with pigeon keepers, which matters more than most brands in a niche this small.

— Matt, founder

Specifications

Brand: Bucktons

Suitable for: Weaning and racing pigeons
Feeding period: March to September

Full description

Racing pigeon keepers do not feed one mix all year round — a bird raising squeakers in spring has a completely different energy need to one resting through winter, so a feed sold for a specific window of the year is doing a job a generic pigeon mix cannot.

This is Bucktons' young bird formulation, built for the March to September feeding period and aimed at weaning and racing birds specifically rather than the loft in general. The mix itself is a blend of wheat, maple peas, red dari, white peas, white dari, blue peas, tares and safflower seed — a spread of grains and legumes rather than a single cereal, which is the usual shape of a pigeon corn mix. Bucktons describe it as developed for easy digestion, aimed at a bird building condition through the breeding season rather than one being rested.

Who it's for: pigeon keepers feeding through the March to September season who want a mix aimed specifically at weaning and racing birds, rather than a resting or winter formulation.
