I know mate but i weaned them later than i should have but ive had them out in the cage and they have a little view bit on the loft front

aye true Frank a think im just bursting to get birds out flying? I could do that with the younger ones putting them on the board but there is one or two that is going to the top boxes

A dont think the youngsters will get off the loft to be honest but i might leave it to Sunday now

Big day tomorrow for me guys im going to let my youngbirds out for the first time and maybe try and break a few cocks from my old address i really hope everything goes to plan any tips Wish me luck

i hate looking at new lofts makes me want a new one but credit to you cracker mate

Some pics would be good atb

Thanks mate

I might be getting some latebreds at the end of the season m8! I think I might be alright if I get the other 5 moved across and the other 8 hatch there's 20 so and by that time I could have a could have a couple more pairs down or on there second round. Can ye take 3 rounds from your ob a don't plan on racing them

I would be happy with about 25 m8 I'm no looking to have a massive team just enough that I can enjoy a cpple of races and take a few over for next season then I will happy.

A think i would need more than 2 rounds for that lol ive only got 10 pair too

Dont be daft mate im no looking for handouts that was last year lol ill be happy if i enjoy a few races and keep some for next year

Cheers mate honestly i would love to get to 120 miles and have 20 to carry over thats the plan but who knows

No mate i got a lot of help last year gifted almost 30 birds the ones that are left are the ones im breeding from so i dont want to ask again i will just have to breed what i can breed and if it meens i only get one or 2 races then it will be one or two races more than last year

In what way mate like not train them too hard or what

I know was thinking the same mate i have 8 eggs just now providing they all hatch on top of that but allready i hav had 4 nests with jsut one egg hatch! Ahh fk it it is what it is

How many yb's do you realistically think you need for to enjoy a yb season and have enough for the year after?? The reason im asking is so far i have only managed to wean 7 and with 5 more in the nest and a few more on eggs so getting a bit worried

Thanks guys for the tips im really nervous about letting them out for some reason lol

When is it okay to feed titbits and whats the best to feed them something that will get them eating out my hand

I hated letting my young birds out for the first few weeks last year and im not looking forward to it this year either sitting on roofs flying in all direction if you loss any etc

Hope you get this sorted mate sounds serious! Personally i would not let them out keep them away from any other birds in the loft and get to a vet ASAP you dont want your season finished before it even starts ATB

Got your confirmation there cheers

Me too george baird add if you like I added the pigeon basics facebook but never been accepted

These birds just look a complete picture of health all the best mate with your crackers

Wish they could but the simple answer to your question is NO

Didnt think i would have much of a problem at my new house but after speaking to a neighbour who has fantails and tumblers etc he said he has lost 5 to peregrines this year alone so not really looking forward to letting my youngbirds out!!!!!
