Pigeon Moulting Food

Begin switching as the first primary feathers drop and continue through the main moult, then transition to your chosen winter or racing blend.

Balanced protein and oils are key during the moult, alongside a good mineral source and fresh water.

Yes—keep work light and focus on condition while feathers replace.

Typically 30–50 g per pigeon per day, adjusted to maintain a healthy weight and tidy troughs.

A light coating of linseed (flax) or rapeseed oil can help feather sheen and vitamin absorption. As a guide, use 5–10 ml of oil per kg of grain, 2–3 times per week, then dust with brewer’s yeast once or twice weekly. Always provide insoluble grit/minerals ad lib and fresh water. Avoid over-supplementing or using salty/medicated products, and make changes gradually while monitoring condition.
