The White Rapido Man

Ive got a few like that.....they were running abit on the fat side, so I cut back the grub and in a week they laid - might have been a coincidence?.....Ive also got an older hen thats been paired for months...broody, and sat tight on a nest with no eggs!!....

Im trying some stock from Ian this year... the delbars and Jan aardens look class......can't wait to test them.

I've been loaned a direct son out of it.... although He's an old boy. Class looking pigeon though. Wasn't sure what to pair him try him with...... currently got a spare JA, Jan Thealan and delbar hen....and a couple off Frank Taskers piedy boy lines - names don't mean alot to me to be fair, but I didn't want to waste a possible decent pairing as he's 2002 bred..... Thanks for the info.

Looking for any information on the Red Barcelona pigeon please

Nice airy ooking set up....good luck

Hi folks. I've lost from S*expletive removed*horpe DN15. V14 26749.....small dark blue cheq with white flights and slight feathering on legs... Many Thanks

Thanks Chad, I got kindly gifted the bird from a breeder who requires 4 a year from his breeding stock, last year he filled 3, so he gave him to me.... I hope he does, he's in excellent condition for his age.

Another old chap from the stock loft

Lovely old Jan Aarden cock 12years old

33 and 34 out of 210 birds sent.....but still really chuffed anyway. Fingers crossed the missing come home tomorrow.

well, after all the prepartion, my first race has been flown from Kettering. I was up at daft oclock with a couple of friends who wanted to have the crack even though they're not pigeon fanciers...Got the text from the Lins Fed at about 7.30, and shortly after 9am birds started to drop into lofts around me. Really enjoyed seeing my birds fold up and drop in, and although I doubt if I even scored, I thoroughly enjoyed it.... :-) Still 5 missing though which is disappointing.....Off to the club at 7 to see whats what over a nice pint of smooth to top my day off nicely ;-)

Thanks Andy ;-)

Should i feed normally the night before my first race?......also what if anything would you advise is the best product to place in the water upon return? Many thanks

Heres a couple more photos of this years hopefulls embarking on their fist race on sat 4th!

Thanks. Il let you all no how may first races go in due course ;-)

Yes Wiley......I was lucky enough to be lent a few pairs from Mr. Taskers Filmstar and Piedy boy lines from an excellent stockman. ttthese birds appear to have done alot of damage locally. I am however new to the sport and names dont impress me, but these have produced some handsome specimens, but the proof will be in the racing though ;-)

Lol....... He's bred out of a line from Frank Taskers Film Star.....and is a feather legged chap. Hes trained well, wel see what happenss when racing starts.

........time will tell ;-) thanks

.............its a massive free pick pot !!!!! hehe

A few more

Its not often she goes inside to be fair, the bird on the other hand is bred out of Roland Janssens stock, so we'll see how he fairs. Abit on the large side for my liking, but this is my first yb racing season, so what do I know!!

Just trying a new image resizer app for the mobile....if the photo comes out ok, there should be a photo of my daughter with favourite yb 'Bidie-Bob' !

Where are they situated please?

Cheers Dal.....I'll put a couple of old hens with them shortly. Would you continue to train this week at 30 miles? Or bring them back down to 17 miles again??.........

Hi Andy....they did 30 mile a day 5 days last week, and 17 miles a day Monday to Friday, for the last 2 weeks..... do you think I should rest them this week??.....first race is aprox 68 miles.
