12 pair of stock matched and put together last sunday 10 paired and hens locked away. Im having problems with a couple of big dominant hens. Ordinarily I wouldnt put big to big but given their bullying nature I didnt have much of a choice.....and on paper, I really fancy the pairings over the others... Any tips as Im not ready to give up yet...oh and they are hens and not cocks!!

i used to buy all of my moxy and other such things over the counter in Spain when i lived there....any one you kmow going on holiday? I once was pescribed augmentim for a serious chest infection and conventional antibiotics couldn't shift.....hardcore stuff

Im new to racing chaps.......... in fact 2012 will be my first season and im unsure what programme of medication to follow, if any. Stock to be paired up mid December. Can I have your opinions / do's and donts please? many thanks

....Hi David...I know all about those whites ;-) Its Paul from S*expletive removed*horpe here

............does anyone race this line with any success. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

if food particles are left about then pest species will venture in no matter what the height off the ground is.........good housekeeping and proofing keeps vermin away!

thanks for the replies everyone. Loft has now gone subject to collection. Should there be any problems I shall pm those interested parties in due course

il text you one tomorrow if you send me your mobile number

hi folks. I am having a new race loft coming in a few weeks and therefore have a 10x5 loft free for anyone who would like to dismantle and collect it. Its made good heavy shiplat and is sectional. There is a apex roof on it and good heavy double sliding doors at the front. a small 1.5ft hole in the back elevation will need covering as this led to the stock flight which has now been removed. It will make a good stock loft or yb loft someone. Situated in S*expletive removed*horpe N. lincs DN15. Needs to go asap hence the gift. please pm me if you are interested. first come first served

Hi folks. Im looking for a telephone number for David Frost of Ipswich if anyone knows him. Ive changed phones and no longer have his number He's very well know in the show fraternity I believe. Please pm me if you know him Much appreciated

I thought so.....couldnt quite remember! I hope they did ok for you mate. They were of good stock those ......... I havent had pigeons for a few years now. I had a massive kill in the loft. Not sure if it was a mink or young fox....regardless, the outcome was the same - about 40 dead birds. I was so demoralised I packed up, having had a similar incident back in 2006-2007. Subsequently, the lofts have been empty but I've got the bug again, and am starting back up with the birds imenently. Not in a rush though...just making some mods to the loft presently - going to start back with the whites, as I always loved them - but may have a crack at racing in the near future - very good to talk to you again.

thanks anyhow

Hello Buddy - you're right...its been a while. How are you getting on mate? Now remind me...did you gets some whites off me a few years ago???

good man.............grand job done there buddy. You're a braver man than me!!!!

one local flyer I knew did very well with them back in the late 1990's. Good and bad in every strain though.

...........thanks for the efforts lads.I guess they are just lost somewhere in cyber-space. No biggie

thanks alot ;-) Strange though as when I go into my profile, there appears to be nothing listed in 'my posts' or 'my topics'..........I cant remember any posts really, only I had some lovely birds put on an forum 'show' some years ago perhaps 2008 -2009? ....never mind though.

Hi folks. I haven't been on for a year or so, but have noticed that all of my previous posts and photos have been deleted from my profile. I was hoping to extract a few of my old photos that I no longer have on my PC at home.............have they gone for good??? any ideas please

personally I don't like birds having the space to fly over my head in a loft, so regardless of the apex height, a meshed roof at 6ft restricts their movement.........this is of course a matter of opinion
