ALF

The big loft all finished and done in black...Looks no bad considering the front of the left hand side was rebuilt after the fire and has had 2 8x6 sheds added to it..

We had a young hen 2 yrs ago that just wouldnae fly no matter how much we chased her she was a 2nd round yb we through into the fed toss just through her 2nd flight and I put her into the 4th yb race the next day bloody thing was our 6th or 7th doo and is still in the loft today...

Terrible news may they all rest in peace.

interesting mate

throughs mate

Last year we had our birds on roundabout.After the race and the next few days say until tuesday they didnae excercise well but wednesday thursday and friday morning flew like fk they were fed the same feed all week and i think that was our downfall re excercise and i was talking to a good flyer today and seen his feeding programme and was very impressed but i would like to hear other peoples feeding regime tae? Cheers Alan

Good stuff Phil

Using winter mix x breeding mix with a drinker full of green peas and layer pellets in every section tae

Phil I don't understand why you keep them in till their eyes change colour pal? Personally our ybs are out as soon as they want to be as we put a ladder in the sputnik to let them walk in and out as they like... Alan

I know exactly how the man feels it's fkn heartbreaking....

The easibed deep litter in the old bird loft has been down from this time last year and is a bit dusty now but would you remove it all or just some of it and add a couple of bales of new stuff to it? Cheers Alan

Terrible May they all be resting in peace...

Been a busy day but 8x6 extension built onto the right hand side of the racing loft gives us 40 ft now for old birds 24 ft with 32 widowhood boxes for the Cocks and 13ft now for roundabout hens with 42 easy clean perches No more loft building for me I hope😨 Usually lasts at least a year Pete

Great to have more space for them mate

Extension up and almost finished just a few wee cosmetic bits to do and add a partition inside and we are sorted

Aye Charlie we have been doing quite a bit of work to the lofts inside and out over the last few weeks

Found ready for 8x6 extension going up this weekend

New plywood on the front of the big loft this morning and oiled right away

We'll be members of both unions this year Danny and both nationals

Cheers for the replies guys i think i have the info now i was after as to when to split regards the moult

When you see the sparrowhawks you never get any bother its when you dont see it you get bother.

We have 1 of our spare l\b hens missing from yesterday they have been out winter and that is the 1st 1 we have lost since the end of racing last year.
