Feeding birds on the widowhood system often changes throughout the racing week, with lighter mixes used after racing before gradually increasing the energy content as basketing approaches. Choosing the right feed at the right time helps birds recover well and return to the basket in good condition.
Our widowhood range includes diet mixes, sport blends and higher-energy feeds to suit different stages of the racing programme. Our own S.S.S widowhood mixes are packed at our County Durham mill, where we’ve been supplying pigeon feed across the UK for more than 40 years.
Order direct from our County Durham mill with 48-hour delivery (Mon–Fri, order by 2 pm) and delivery from £6 per 20 kg (location-based).
