Woodthorpe H S Breeder / Buyer sale 28th March (tomorrow) 1:00pm Start - Hollin Bush Pub, Hollinsend Road, Sheffield S12 Nathan Carder you had better get there earlt if you want to buy yours back, yours is lot4. Anyone can put a youngster in. Based upon best performance(s) judged by an independent judge not connected to the event. Hope to see some of you there

We have got a cock and an hen that are both 1994 birds - Sadly both now infertile (pity as they have certainly produced the goods for us over the years

Everything loooks fine mate - leave the nest bowl just keep the box clean has you have been doing. The youngster looks a picture of health and the cock will continue to feed the youngster until you part it.

What a beautiful team of youngsters and credit to you for producing such specimens. I bet the lucky recipient will be over the moon with those, I would be

Thanks, I'll have a look at the name on it tomorrow and post it on.

Was this painting an original or a copy??????? Only asking as my mum and dad have got the exact one in their hallway!!!!!!!!! And that certainly doesn't look like a copy :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

Ours go on the darkness on the Sunday the clocks go forward in March, so this year it will be the 28th I think. They come of the darkness the first Saturday in June, so that will be 6th this year, they have about 10 - 11 weeks on the darkness.

We use it all year round once a week in the water - usually a Tuesday. Super product I love the smell also

Try Stuart Wilcox on this site, he has some crackers - I bought a pair of younsters off him last year, gave them a couple of races upto about 120 miles, then put them away for this year - they have made a couple of lovely hens

Terry Lodge is very much alive and kicking ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D He is Joe Longthorns manager. The last I heard he hasn't gotany pigeons anymore and he was looking at emigrating to Spain or somewhere like that

I certainly do John - we always have a good laugh when we go

Is that the same club that Robbie Thomas and Eddie Bateman fly ? or do they fly in Prenton Park H S?

We fly widowhood with both the cocks and hens right through the season from 73 - 527 Miles.

Quality, quality a dream stock team Also a real credit to you. What breeds are they?

It's made no difference to ours John - I paired ours up last Monday and they were all fully up on the last flight and am sure they will be down on eggs in the same timeframe as the older and last years natural hens. Have you paired up yet?

First class mate................ A real credit to you....

Looks to be some excellent sales The 2 I would pick would be probably Darren Peters & Wall, Lunt & Green - excellent fliers and excellent pigeons

A big fat ZERO Not pairing up until 26th Janaury

I don't have any problem doing that James - we fly as Simeon & John Turner

We will have - 12 celibate cocks - (6 for each Saturday club) 24 widowhood cocks - (12 for each Saturday club) This is for 2 Saturday clubs plus possibly the NFC and Sheffield 5 bird club if we join! Not sure whether to bother with the hens this year or not, if we do it will be a dozen maximum with the channel in mind! 40 - 45 young birds all on the darkness - these will be raced split up and let together on a friday.

Happy New Year everyone - all the best for 2009

Same for us, you could also use a pencil and shade it an area if you have a careful hand and don't press on too much

We've used domestus before, and also milton (which is just a watered down version) - very good, cheap as chips and won't arm the birds at all in small doses that is - make sure you don't put anything else in the warer at the same time as the domestos will neutralise it Good post Ian - all the best for the new year and thge best of health to your family

What do you all do with regards to preparation of your pigeons for pairing up, especially stock birds - say for the last month before your pairing date. Such as : 1 - medication 2 - Feed 3 - Supplements 4 - Putting the cock & hen together a few times in the lead up to pairing. Plus any other things you do to spark them into life for breeding

We use tobacco stalks & straw, with nest felts in the nest bowls.
