Hatchling

Hatchling (3/8)

  1. Yes he is right and it don't work in reverse for the person that asked.
  2. Deep litter havent cleaned my yb loft in 2 years. Perches are 2x4 rails and they poop off the front or back and it hits the floor. Haven't scaped in about a year. I just turn the floor over once and a while (months between doing that). Last year was my best year for ybs yet.
  3. I have a very hard time believing it is the weather. I live real close to canade and it is very cold and I also know people in northern canada that are breeding now. I think you made a mistake with the barley. You might do that in the fall for a week or 2 to get the weight off but why not have some fat on them for breeding. The fat will be gone after the first round anyway but that is the parents safety net, so to speek. You don't want them too thin for breeding. I would put a very high fat and 18 percent protein mix in there right now and get them some weight and they will start breeding.
  4. I picked breed because you can't race a fantail???
  5. The best pigeon in the race without that all that other stuff is worthless!! 8)
  6. Plus if you check the link out 1000 of the 1388 in the race were clocked in 10 minutes. WOW!
  7. This is from one of the clubs here in the states. Flordia accually, (gulf coast club) there are some of the best in the world there. You can race amost everyday of the week there and the races are a thousand plus birds all the time. They say if you can have a bird place in the top 50 there consistantly you are a champion. Here is a link to one of their sprint races with only 1388 bird entered. Check it out 300 birds clocked in 5 minutes now that tough compitetion! http://www.racingpigeonmall.com/cgi-bin/rac_data/racdata_rac.pl?fid=1235498715&query=all_search%3DGulfcoast%2BHoming%2BClub%26allany%3D%2Band%2B%26pagenum%3D3%26cgifunction%3DSearch&cgifunction=form
  8. You only need the high magnification for checking blood. If you arre not going to do that then you are set. Remember alot of ads will say 10x, 40x, lens (objective). Well these are 100 and 400 power lenses because you have to multiply by the eyepiece lense (usually 10x).
  9. Try it and we will see if any of you know what your talking about. ;D
  10. Here in the states we call a bird like in "pigeon mans" avatar a silver. A mealy is like this also but with a red/brown collored head not the silver head. I know it is not right but I am talking about racing pigeons here you can call them whatever you want on the race sheet.
  11. Pigeon is a strong red meat with a irony taste like liver. It is not bad and in some dishes pretty dang good. People do pay $22 dollars a pound for squab here in the states. I like to eat it in a stroganoff just substitute the pigeon meat for the beef. It is really good. I know people are thinking "I can't believe you eat your pigeons" well I believe you don't kill something for no reason so if you are going to cull some why not eat them?
  12. When i clicked on it it started scanning my computer for viruses or something I closed off immediatly. I suspect this is either a virus or some type of spyware. I would not click on it.
  13. For short races nothing and for long races peanuts.
