Why Choose Young Bird No Maize?

Johnston & Jeff are one of Britain's most trusted pigeon food brands, with decades of experience supplying racing pigeon fanciers. Maize is a common ingredient in adult racing mixes but is harder to digest than smaller cereals and legumes — making it less suitable for young birds still developing their digestive capacity. Young Bird No Maize removes this ingredient entirely, offering a gentler, more appropriate ration for youngsters from weaning through to early training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why no maize for young birds?
Maize is harder to digest than smaller cereals and legumes, and can be difficult for young birds with developing digestive systems to process efficiently. A maize-free formula is gentler and more appropriate for youngsters from weaning through to early training.

When should I switch to a racing mix?
As young birds begin regular training flights, you can gradually introduce an adult racing or training mix. Transition over 7–10 days by blending increasing proportions of the new mix with Young Bird No Maize to avoid digestive upset.

How should I store this feed?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pests. Keep the bag sealed or decant into an airtight bin to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.

Is this suitable for adult pigeons?
Young Bird No Maize is formulated specifically for youngsters. Adult birds in hard training or racing benefit from higher energy mixes containing maize. See the full Johnston & Jeff range for adult racing and breeding feeds.
