i did it 3 years ago got 6 out of 1 pair lost 3 on training and the other 3 disapeared within the first 2 races so i wouldnt do it again

i bred 2 bull eye together this year an bred one with a violet eye it was a pure white bird it was great on training but lost it on its first race ot went south instead of north ??????? must have clashed

i would pay and watch

ive got over fly of 10 miles

has been a great site since day 1 and i have signed up again

i bought the £150 for 10 kit in july and i am using these as my flying out stock, to breed off for next year, all came at between 24-30 days old and look fine birds had them out on the trap since 2 days after getting them and so far have still got 10 and they are flying well, they have started to moult now and are turning out to look and handle great and it looks like ive landed lucky with 5 hens and 5 cocks but will find out for sure next year but so far i am hope full but only the basket will tell asw for the price £150 for 10 is nowt really and next year when they breed hopefully they will turn out 20 yb's to try, so 20 yb's and the 10 ive already got works out at £5 each, not a bad price for a pigeon with certificate of stain by the way they are the performance busschaerts which i am lead to believe are crosses of all their busschaert strains

i use sputnicks with al

extendig the lofts tiling them and getting ready for 2007

have anybody ever raced these pigeons, if so what have they done for you and what is the best distance for them ? as i have had a hen gifted to me bred of direct eijerkamp pigeons also had a few wll,lunt and green jansens gifted by the same fancier what do you reckon to these ?

i know tony from long ago, he used to race in our club, and i must admit his birds are the mutts nuts, and he is a nice bloke to boot

louth lincolnshire has clear blue skies and bright sunshine still a bit hazy visibility about half a mile no wind at all very still, sun should burn off haze within the hour i reckon

ive had a few returning at the begining of the season from the first few yb races

i have been told that vinegar in the bath sorts it out half a cup of malt vinegar per bath

that sounds like fun

started with 22, lost 2 off loft, none training, lost 9 out of 10 on first race had 4 races ended up with 4 yb's left so packed up for the season had 1 return yesterday (friday the 15th) after 5 weeks out ( the one that returned from the first race)had none reported dead or alive ???????????

thunk soaping is the better option

could always remove the cut off flighs manually after they have settled and they will grow back i have only done this once and it worked for me but does cause a lot of stress to the pigeon by removing the flights

cut one wing down

i would say twin wall brick or block in the way as earlier described

twin wall brick or block front and sides, tile roof, and the usuall front wood and dowel, and bigger than needed to accomodate more pigeons than you intend to race to reduce the risk of overcrowding

i dont think it matters what the loft is made of as long as it has good ventilation and has class pigeons in it

glad to hear a happy ending, not many of those in pigeon racing

i had the same probs with a pair of racers always smashed their first egg so waited till they laid the second egg then next day chucked a dummy egg in and they sat them and hatched it off
