Try RV Woodcraft - do a search on google.. Fantastic range of "cheap" training crates (Budget crate £17 ea plus postage) Very helpful people

Hungerford (6mile west of Newbury) Early mist burning off - gonna bit a hot one (clear blue skies) ;D ;D

Think logically......... The average fancier breeds 30 yb and is lucky if he gets 2 good ones Multiply that by mass production :-/ :-/ :-/ (lets say x 100) Maths = 3000yb (200 good ones), equates to 2800 x crap :o

In the past (think mid nineties was last time)we have tried the racing kits of youngsters - but to no avail (none left at end of season etc, they was healthy enough but that was all. then we tried their allfair auctions, Staf Van Reet strain - bought three 1 @ £240, 1 @ £110 and 1 x £90....never bred a performance pigeon in the 3yrs we raced their offspring (actually the £240 bird was bought as a grand daughter of daniel and after 3 months of trying to pair to our No1 stock cock, actually had to find a hen for it, cos it was a cock & this was a 3yr old pigeon) Then as a benefit of the doubt in the 2001 we tried a couple of their pedigree pairs they sell during the winter at £75 per pair.......only to recieve them by amtrak to find a pencil cock with mild PMV (actually neck/head on one side!!) Spoke to Micheal, and his response was "we are a breeding stud and with the number of birds we send out there is bound to be some abnormalities" - what a sack of kak. These birds were returned and will never be used again....we gave them 3 x chances...i think that was fair....But we know other fanciers who have had them and score with offspring, just not us?

: this i believe we should all do, if you have mice in your loft - you will find form very hard to come by....birds not resting, increase in chance of disease etc

: : Your opinion mate, but it worked for us!! If memory serves me right and i am thinking of the same product, EQVALAN is a horse worming type product?? :-/ and cost circa £11 per tube...whereas bleach & water are already in the house, so will cost you nothing - my opinion

Very very diluted bleech & water solution dab on with sponge/cotton wool - and leave to moult through naturally??

Cheers Ken & CS They are all coming through the moult nice now!!

Congratulations Andy..top flying mate :

Sorry, should have read "Dad is in St.Helens, Merseyside" - Doh :

Looking for other Teurlings corn stockists in North West...We are in St.Helens, Merseyside Usually use Blue Sky, but they are struggling with deliveries at the mo and the corn bin getting low?? So anyone any suppliers North West, Cheshire even Birmingham if we have to travel to stock up ;D ;D

Thanks Steve

and best of luck to him..

All done down here,

All eggs safely gathered and floated Ken, you gonna send down them rings LOL

This result is amazin.....10 birds on exactly the same time, phew!! Great flying but he/she must have sent a boat load :-/ is this the future of UK racing, with the BIG lofts??

Sent you a PM mate..

Absolute bargain here for the Braspenning fans

Keep a watchful eye on what/where they pecking about when in garden, could be slugs, certain types of flowers etc Isolate, treat with "old hands Going Light" and keep a watchful eye on others.. Cider vinegar/Adherb/Gemthepax type products will certainly help Hope things improve...

Here i am, here i am - how do you do ;D

Well done fella, best of luck to ya.. She looks a gem lots more to come hopefully

Hats off to you Darren , that is tremendous pigeon keeping...hope we have the same results this year in our new location :-/
