DRIES

saintes race will be longest race we will be able to race from france this season IS A FACT CENTRAL SOUTHERN CLASSIC WERE TOLD !!!!!!!, IF DEFRA LET US BACK IN NOT CUT AND DRIED BY A LONG WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTHING TO DO WITH FRANCE JUST LACK OF ENTRIES

next central southern classic from hexham cancelled on cscfc website due to lack of support

heard today that if defra allow us back into france w'ell only be allowed to go 350 miles into france, because french maff want the birds to leave france on day of toss,they don't want them stopping over night on french coast.. so tarbes etc don't look good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ps also heard that CSCFC have cancelled this weeks race from Hexham due to lack od support !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

base of my deep litter has been in lofts for 6 years which consists of cat litter ,beech chips ,auboise ,and lime , your house would smell worse than my loft rocknick no smell at all and loft is bone dry is yours, it's that dry stamp on floor and dust goes 3 feet in air,

day i get beat by a loft scraper the day i pack up ha ha ha, my old mum always said bit of dirt keeps ya warm

I'VE NEVER HAD YOUNG BIRD SICKNESS THE BABIES ARE ON OPEN HOLE FROM 1ST LIGHT TILL DARK, THERE ON THIS UNTIL 3 WEEKS BEFORE 1ST YB RACE, IF I KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THERE BABIES I'D ASK THEM FOR A BABY THEY HAVE CULLED AND I'D PUT THIS IN SECTION FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS, FANCIERS ALWAY REMARK ON THE QUALITY OF HEALTH OF MY BABIES, BUT I WOULD NOT ADVISE YOU TO TRY THIS AS MY BIRDS HAVE OVER 20 YEARS OF IMUNITY BRED IN THEM, I WOULD SAY MOST OF THE TROUBLE FANCIERS HAVE TODAY IS DUE TO ANTIBIOTIC ABUSE AND REPETATIVE TREATMENTS FOR CANKER COCCI ETC

I BELIEVE THE BIRDS IN THAT SECTION WILL WALK AND PECK AT THE DEAD BIRD HELPING A NATURAL IMUNATITY AND NATURAL RESISTANCE TO THE DISEASE THE BABY DIED FROM, NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE DOING THIS ONLY SUPER HEALTHY BABIES, I KNOW OF SEVERAL FAMOUS FANCIERS DOING THE SAME. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS

Y/B NATURAL HEALTH IS A MUST I DON'T TREAT MY YB FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN WORMS, IF I GET ONE THAT DIES , WHICH CAN HAPPEN I LEAVE THE CARCASE IN LOFT FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS , I AM ON DEEP LITTER, I'VE NEVER HAD ANY OUTBREAKS OF COCCI OR CANKER YOUNG BIRD SICKNESS ETC SINCE IVE DONE THIS , WHEN I MOVED 6 YEARS AGO I TOOK MY DEEP LITTER WITH ME AND THIS IS STILL THE BASE OF MY PRESENT DEEP LITTER, DO YOU AGRREE WITH THIS. I THINK A SPOTLESS LOFT CAN CAUSE TROUBLE AS THE BIRDS HAVE NO CONTACT WITH BACTERIA ETC , SO THEY HAVE TO BE TREATED FOR CANKER ETC .

DO FANCIER DO ENOUGH TO ENCOURAGE AND HELP NEW FANCIER'S, WHAT I'VE SEEN OF THIS FORUM , THERE'S SOME HELPFUL AND GENEROUS FANCIERS ON HERE. BUT I FEEL AT CLUB LEVEL IT A DIFFERENT STORY, THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS WHEN PEOPLE CLOCK IN SAY 6 BIRDS , TAKE 1ST 6 IN CLUB , AND THE NOVICE MIGHT END UP SAY 20TH OR 30TH CLUB, THIS CAN'T BE GOOD, I'VE BEEN IN CLUBS WERE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN TALK TO NOVICES. BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE SUPERSTARS AND THE NOVICE IS SOMETHING ON THE BOTTOM OF THEIR SHOE, WHAT DO YOU THINK

hi bren i've got a t3 that needs a new battery and a service, you pay for new battery and service and the clock's yours. pm me with your address and the clocks your's . all the best dries

I'M SORRY TO SAY THE COMMUNICATION I HAD ON THE 13TH APRIL , NEVER CHANGED,DEFRA DECIDED TO KEEP PIGEON RACING AT THE SAME LEVEL IN THEIR RISK ASSESMENT,SO I CAN'T SEE THIS CHANGING FOR THE OLD BIRD SEASON, BUT THE RPRA AND ALL THE BIG NATIONALS MUST KEEP ON AT DEFRA TO LET US RACE FROM FRANCE. I'M SO SORRY TO GET YOUR HOPES UP I WORK IN DIFFERENT DEPT, ONCE AGAIN SO SORRY ..DRIES

SHOULD BE DEFRA VETS, SORRY DEFRA IS A GOV DEPT

RT HON MARGERET BECKETT MP SECRETARY OF STATE HAS FINAL SAY, DEFRA ONLY ADVISE GOV

WHAT P BRYANT SAID ON 11TH OLD NEWS I'M TALKING ABOUT 13TH APRIL , WHAT THE RPRA PUT ON THERE WEB SITE IS OUT OF DATE BEFORE IT'S POSTED. ALSO JUST A POINT OF REFERANCE , I WORK IN WHITEHALL SW1 THATS WHY I CAN'T SAY TO MUCH

MY SOURCE OF INFORMATION COMES FROM SOMEONE WAY ABOVE MR BRYANT REMEMBER WERE YOU HEARD IT 1ST CAN'T SAY NO MORE ALREADY SAID TO MUCH

WILL WE BE RACING FROM FRANCE AFTER 1ST MAY. [HEARD FROM A VERY WELL CONNECTED SOURCE WE WILL BE WATCH THIS SPACE]

COULD BE HIGHER SAY YOU BRED 60 YB'S HOW MANY OF THEM WILL YOU HAVE IN SAY 3 YEAR'S LUCKEY TO HAVE 8-10 AND HOW MANY OF THEM WOULD HAVE MORE THAN 8 CLUB WINS TO THERE NAME , THAT'S ONLY 2 WINS A SEASON, 1OR 2 IF YOUR VERY LUCKY DO YOU AGREE. MULTIABLE WINNERS HARD TO COME BY . 1 OFF PERFORMANCE NOT WORTH ANYTHING AT CLUB LEVEL , PIGEONS HAVE TO WIN EVERY YEAR OR THERE GONE

ONLY 2 TYPES OF PIGEONS REGARDLESS OF STRAIN [ONLY A NAME] GOOD ONES AND BAD ONES .95% OF WHAT YOU BRED WON'T WIN A CARROT
