Pego

Will never use them again. Had used them for a couple of years with no problems and bought another batch from B&R last year at Blackpool. These were used in my racing loft last season were we lost 30 plus ybs in the nest 1-3 days old. At the same time in our stock loft we used black felts i had left over from a batch i bought in Belgium the previous year with no problems at all. After much head scratching/hair pulling/dropping & swab checks i phoned B&R and was told i wasn't alone and it seems to be a bad batch of felts. Have since heard it seems ybs suffocated as their was a problem with the latex in them.

Come on the Welsh, take it to them. Hope my many Welsh friends are cheering a victory tonight.

Went for yellow maize, but several things have to be right and most of all you need the right tools for the job.

Racing mixtures around 13-14%

First cross with two inbred families can give you good results racing.

If the birds are flying well around the loft ie running like youngsters for 45 mins plus, you will only need a couple of short tosses to let them know the system.

Good signs, lets you know everything is in good order.

Sounds a bit like myself, thunderbigbaws and john the body on tour.

Not in the corner of FIFE im from, plenty wee teddy bears running about here.

Did you wear gloves to get it out?

I've no got a big enough wallet to keep you going in pop.

Braw, what a weekend iv got to look forward too.

Aye a bit, but dont worry i will be back to myself for being led astray in Blackpool.

Easy tiger.

See you there big man. At least we wont have to worry about thunderbigbaws and the trains this year cos wee Rabs driving.

Was sharing with john the body last year. Top location, rooms fine and a good breakfast.

We have some Kipp&Sons, sorry none for sale. Last year (2008) was our first year breeding with them and the hen we were 5th Open 08 SNFC YB OPEN with was a Kipp cross. Must add other side of breeding was a daughter of J Bird's Bits and Pieces who was a top performing SNFC pigeon.

Dull with light rain here in Fife, but not as cold as the last couple of days.

R.I.P Dale.

Well done to Jock Page on winning Best In Show and his former partner Davy Clark taking BOS.
