hey tom what day are you basketing for the race? if it's friday i don't think your helping the birds, your more likely to take a bit off em, but if it's sunday you b ok

all the big names are buying ace birds regardless of strain and blending them into a family ,a lot of it comes down to the fancier ,you could give a bad fancier the best birds and he still won,t win on the other hand you could give a good fancier average birds and he'd beat the other guy every week , i myself have many diffrent strains in the stock loft but they've produced plenty of good birds for me and others including scoring in every old bird race last season and the average price paid for my stock birds is less than £100 each(36 stock birds) and i started flying yb's 2004

have they been frightened off the loft by a cat or somebody waving something about close to the loft ,i've found before if a cat jumps on to the loft roof when they're out and frightens them off they're a bit suspect of it

i tried the natural system the first year i started and found it was to much work trying to get the birds to fly around the shed and to risky sending them up the road all the time so the next year i tried the roundabout system and the birds have been scoring very consistently since(only been in pigeons 4 years) i have 3 sections were the cocks are kept and a corridor along the front leading to an aviary on the end of the shed were the hens are kept ,when i put the cocks out the sputniks are closed and the hens are moved from the aviary to the sections ,the section doors are closed , then the cocks are allowed to trap into the corridor and are moved along into the avairy, then the hens go out and the cocks come back into their sections the doors are closed so the hens can trap back into the corridor and are moved back into the avairy, on this system the birds fly a lot better around the shed and are motivated to race home every week last season my old birds scored every race worsed position was 5th club,i won club inland av.and was r-up channel av.
