Are we allowed to shoot them to protect our birds ?

How do you cut or pull them ?

does it put them through the moult ?

Can anyone give me some information on the light system please ?

Is that the light system mate ?

Nah its Inland Newton Abbott about 170 odd miles to me someone said.

Is it possible for the Hen to be bigger than the cock out of the same nest ?

I have decided against doin the darkness system because of work hours making it difficult for me but am gutted that I am not gonna be able to enter in to the later races because of the birds falling to bits. My question is, If I bred some late breds lets say around 12 or 13 weeks before the last 2 races would the birds still be holding there feathers enough to be entered and would they be old enough to have been trained enough and be entered ? :-/

How can you not accept people because they might win, What is the point in that ? If you lose, try harder. Its Bad sportmanship at the end of the day.

My red Hens come back, A good lessong learnt for her I think.

sorry to here your packing up, its a shame you dont live near Birmingham, Im after another loft. Good luck anyway !

Can I ask how much it has cost to build ?

Ive lost three young birds off the loft already. Couldnt stop them keep going up yesterday. Is there any way I can stop them flying so much, while they are so young?

Should I do anything with the lights after the racing season to speed up the moult ?

Whats the 98% rule ?

Are the birds they are breeding all been hens or both sexes ?

Ive just breed two pure whites off a pure white cock and a blue white flight hen. I was hoping for some pieds.

sterling board and water dont mix

one thing ive learnt about pigeon racing people wont always tell you tell you what youy want to hear, especially when it comes to feeding. After all this is what decides whether your up there on the race sheet or not. On my first two races I ever had I came last and second from last. I was told by a good flyer in my club that my birds were in fantastic condition but looked over weight and at this time they were loft flying for 2 hours. I was only giving them a measured amount of 1 oz at a day at the time, so I cut the food down even more. On race day I had 2 come at the same time and came all the way down the sheet to win 6th. Its trial and error mate, Some birds dont need as much as others. Some people win feeding there birds as much as they want and win, others feed 1 and a half and win, others 1 oz and win and I know people that dont feed on the Friday at all and still win. I have based this whole thing on young birds only though.

Can someone tell what is the latest date you can put young birds on the darkness please ?

Definately geese bvut dont know what type.

11 young birds, 4 on eggs, 1 pair laid first egg yesterday 26 days after the first pigeon laid there first egg and still waiting for 2 pair to lay all in same loft and paired at the same time so dont know what happened there. :-/

Yeah and im in Birmingham and would of definately had her if you wasnt so far. Ive always wanted a Japanese Akita and she is a nice dog. Gutted !

How old are your babys ?
