What are pink pigeon minerals?

Pink pigeon minerals are a specialised form of pigeon minerals combining high levels of calcium and phosphorus with a selection of trace elements and vitamins in a distinctive pink-coloured powder. They are especially valued during the breeding period when hens and youngsters have a higher demand for minerals and micro-nutrients.

Unlike coarse grit, which mainly helps with grinding food, pink minerals for pigeons are formulated to provide nutrients that are immediately available to the body. They can be offered in a small pot or sprinkled over the grain so every bird receives its share.

Why pink minerals are essential in the breeding loft

During breeding, a hen must repeatedly produce strong eggshells and feed rapidly growing squabs. At the same time, cocks are expected to stay fit and fertile. This puts enormous pressure on their mineral reserves.

Feeding a quality pink pigeon mineral supplement helps to:

• Support fertility and hatchability – Adequate calcium and trace minerals contribute to strong shells and reduce hairline cracks or thin spots that can compromise hatch rates.

• Enhance chick growth and bone development – Minerals for racing pigeons are equally vital for youngsters; a deficiency during early growth can never fully be corrected later.

• Boost feathering and skin health – The addition of vitamins and micro-elements supports glossy feathers, supple skin and good feather attachment, which are crucial both in the nest and later in the basket.

• Maintain form during heavy work – Many fanciers continue using pink minerals lightly through the race season to keep birds in balance, particularly hens that may be breeding and racing in the same year.

Key features of Pink Minerals for Pigeons

• Fine, highly palatable powder – Easy for birds to consume; they can pick it from a pot or it can cling to grain when mixed with a little oil.

• Rich in calcium and phosphorus – To promote robust skeletal structure and strong eggshell formation.

• Fortified with essential trace elements – Such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, iodine and selenium, which play critical roles in blood health, metabolism, thyroid function and immune defence.

• Added vitamins – Typically including vitamins A, D3 and E in pink mineral formulas, supporting reproduction, calcium utilisation and antioxidant protection.

• Ideal partner to grit and black minerals – Pink minerals complement, rather than replace, coarser grit or charcoal-based black pigeon minerals, giving fanciers a complete mineral strategy.

How and when to feed Pink Minerals

Pink minerals are most effective when used consistently:

• Breeding season – Provide a small pot of pink minerals for pigeons in each nest box or in central locations in the loft. Replace regularly so the powder remains fresh and dry.

• Before pairing – Start offering pink minerals at least two weeks before pairing to build up body reserves and maximise fertility.

• Young bird growth – Continue use through weaning and the early training period; growing birds have high demands for pigeon minerals and respond particularly well to pink mineral powders.

• Moult – A light use during moult supports the formation of new feather shafts and maintains general vitality.

Suggested use:
Offer free-choice in a pot, or mix a tablespoon of pink mineral per kilo of grain once or twice a week. Always ensure that clean, fresh water and regular grit are available.

Why choose dedicated Pink Minerals instead of relying on standard grit?

Ordinary grit is valuable, but it cannot deliver everything on its own. Grit mixtures are typically richer in insoluble stones and shell fragments, while pink powders focus on highly available minerals and added vitamins.

By giving both, you ensure:

• The gizzard has the “teeth” it needs to grind feed

• The bloodstream has the minerals and vitamins required for reproduction, growth and muscle work

• Your minerals for racing pigeons programme is robust, whether birds are in the nest or headed for a 500-mile race

Who benefits most from Pink Minerals for Pigeons?

• Fanciers who want top results from a demanding breeding schedule

• Loft managers raising a large team of youngsters for club, federation or national racing

• Anyone who has seen thin shells, dead-in-shell youngsters or slow growth and wants a straightforward, proven way to support better outcomes

Make Pink Minerals for Pigeons part of your routine and give your breeding pairs and youngsters the specialised mineral support they deserve.
