I do hope you have more than two etc ;) or it could be a very short season ;D ;D ;D as nice as they are, in your photo :P . Enjoy.

A very nice little kit of squeakers etc,(congratulations) appear to be very happy & contented with life, one could say ;D ;D ;D Don't tell them just yet ???? what is in store for them in the future :D , or you could spoil there day ;) . Enjoy.

No 12 !!!!!! A mongrel ;D ;D ;D :D or a "Columba Livia" if you want to appear smart etc (Which I'm not) here. Enjoy.

No 10 "Funny Colours" I knew I had heard the name in the past etc ;D ;D ;D so I cheated :D & looked it up in the book "Creation of a Strain" by Wing Commander W D Rayner M.B.E. Hope that's alright ;) :D . Enjoy.

"883 Girl" Please do something for that poor old mouse ;D ;D ;D etc, I'm in agony !!!!!! everytime I see it on one of your post's here ;) , & god only knows ???????. How the poor old cat must feel, if he is like me ????? it's torture :D . Enjoy.

The mistake which many flyers make when breeding from old stock pigeons etc, "is". They allow the old pigeons to rear there own young, which is a mistake in my view. Much better to foster them under a healthy 2 or 3 year old pair of pigeons. Everyones ones a winner then, (Better & healthier) the way I see it. Enjoy.

:D Yes I'm a bit like you ???????? I think !!!!!!!. Nice to still have memories thou, of the kids when they were young etc. All I have to do now ;) , is try & fire them up so to speak. So at times we can look after some grandchildren etc at times. "Unfortunately" Being of the Modern generation : : : they have different priorities to me as such, when I was first married etc, As as it is. Enjoy.

Have a look next time, ;) a hen lays an egg etc, (got to be quick) ;D ;D ;D you will see its like a rubber ball & soft when a hen lays it & I've even seen one layed from a perch at times hit the ground & be perfect. But as I said !!!!!!. You've gotta be quick to see it. Enjoy

"Ratpigeon" I've known a few rats in my time, ;D ;D ;D :D My 2 bobs worth/advice etc. You may like to look up "Canda Plex" on the internet, could be of interest to you & give you a few ideas for the future. I have found it of benefit at times. Not only for me, but the pigeons too, but then ;) I'm a bit of a herbal freak you could say. Enjoy

Welcome aboard Taff!!!!!!! ;) You could be in for the ride of your life etc here ;D ;D ;D. Some of us, may at times appear a bit strange :P but as long as you do not, come across any of the "grumpy old men" you should be fine. Enjoy the site, it's a cracker !!!!!!.

;D ;D ;D Fight your own fight etc :D In a small way !!!!!!, I have attempted to smoke the peace pipe. Even if it does make me cough ;) Big Time. Perhapes you could do the same thing with Darknight etc. but then ?????? He may also belong to the "Grumpy old Men" catagory, I wouldn't have a clue :) . Enjoy.

Especially here in our classroom ;D ;D ;D on this site ;) Some of us ???, might even become a bit smarter & wiser. As old as many of us are here :D with a bit of luck ;) thrown in. Enjoy.

Dovescot !!!!!!!! :D You really have learnt the art of diplomacy etc. Haven't you ;D ;D ;D. My mate Vic !!!!!! I may even talk to him at times here. One could say ??????. Thou he better not be as grumpy as he was to me before. But then ???????. He may be a wee bit wiser now :D. "Hope So" or who knows what might happen in the future :P . PS ;D ;D ;D For the sites sake, I'm glad you have a changed your mind Vic. But then !!!!!! what would I know. Enjoy.

Careful here !!!!!! "Sapper 756" ;) :D I have much german blood in my veins etc (Don't upset me ;D ;D ;D now) Along with all that convict stock from the past. One could say. Enjoy.

Same!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D "Sort of" ;) I must admit thou, once the babies reach 12 to 14 days etc I do give them a few more peas for the protein factor, just to boost them up that bit more, till I ship them out at 24 days. Enjoy.

Sounds to me !!!!!!!!! ;D ;D Like your bloods worth bottling etc "Chickadee", & they are very fortunate & lucky to have someone like you, helping them out, as you do. In this day & age, one could say. Enjoy

Neighbour's !!!!!!!!! A few years ago now, I went through a similar situation. Federation President come knocking on my door, inspecting everything, because of the trouble I was causing etc council experts, many different ones (None of them, new the difference between a duck & a pigeon) one could say ;D ;D solicitors letters going every which way, you name it. All because some neighbour (never found out who) objected to my birds !!!! flying in his air space (would you believe it) as he put it, over his house. At the end of the day ;D ;D my birds are still doing what they do. I don't know what happen to my neighbour thou :D Finally !!!!!!! would you believe & to show you how thick !!!!!! some people can be (council) They wanted me to give them a list of all the pigeon members etc in their city. Well the fed president & I laughed over that demand "Big Time" clowns, that they were. Enjoy.

Fare enough !!!!!!!! ;) ;D ;D It looks as if I'm, going to be a very very very busy boy, over the next month or so. One could say "Building Boxes" :D . Re Laying !!!!!! :) I won't use those other 2 words you mentioned above, but I was muted many years ago ;D ;D So it appears to me ?????? (Could be wrong) neither of us ;) have much stock potential now !!!!!!, by the sounds of it, as as it is. Enjoy.

Tell the young bloke ;D ;D ;D a surprise is on its way :D "Pigeon post" . ;) Sent today !!!!!!! arrive next week, I imagine. Enjoy

;D ;D ;D I worry about you at times Chickadee ;) here. I imagined you would have been well past the cluckey stage in life. Nice thou !!!!!! to see a young lad keen on the birds, one could say. Enjoy.

What I said was !!!!!!!, These pigeons made a fool ;D ;D out of Dovescot (Sorry Dovescot :P) as experienced as he is. Because he just thought they were a male & a female. Many could relate to this situation here I'm sure. No mention was made, whether they hatched or not for what I saw/read, if they did we all know a lucky ;D ;D ;D cock was involved etc. Now !!!!!! if one thinks that hens on there own will not lay, one is mistaking. Because under certain conditions, they will lay like chooks (well at least every 10 days) if you allow them, which only a fool ;) would allow, & they certainly don't need a cock to stimulate them in this process of laying eggs etc (hatching !!! different story) & if you doubt me, in what I say I will show you a loft full of old hens, on there own, & not a cock in site. Happily sitting on eggs etc. Enjoy.

Just for you Chickadee !!!!!! :) I will pleed guilty as charged :D if it makes you happy :K) :K) :K). I have a very mischievious nature at times (Sorry) I will try an improve my skill levels here for you, in this department. Just send me to the gallows, & I will follow in my good mate :) Ned's footsteps. At least ;D I will admit to everyone, when I place foot in mouth & make a fool of myself etc. Not like a recent mate ?????? of mine here :X :X :D *** when he placed his foot in his mouth "Big Time" & fell on his sword etc, :D & as he found out !!!!!!!. Life has many twists & turns to it. Especially when you attempt to assassinate someone here. Enjoy.

:D what an absolute cracker ;) of a post "Dovescot". Another example !!!! again, of how pigeons. Can make fools of us all. No matter how smart some of us ?????? :P may think we are. Love it ;D ;D ;) Enjoy

;D ;D ;D I think by the sounds of it ;) your neigbours are very very lucky ??????? ;D ;D by what you say above. As rough & ready :) as some lofts are etc, as many of us have seen I imagine here. For the pigeons !!!!!!, as long as they are dry inside etc. I don't think the birds give a hoot at times, as long as there is food on the table every night for supper etc. They would I imagine think ??????. They are living in a palace, one could say. Enjoy

Interesting topic !!!!!!!!!, as some here now know ?????? I'm a bit of an odd bod on this site ;D ;D ;D come from another planet. Or as someone who recently emailed me here ;D ;D ;D, & called me a "Nutter" a term of endearment :D I presume. "Could be wrong" He better not do it again to me, or I will name him here. So smartarse !!!!! that you are, you have been warned. Now to business !!!!!!! Tammy 1. Because of our weather & other factors etc, I would be in all sorts of trouble, if I allowed my birds to stay together. Till they were 28 to 30 days old etc. When breeding here, its 30 to 35 days at the very latest, between eggs for me. Some are even quicker at times & any stock hen that can not fit into that time frame is gone in my loft, as I like to have at least 7 days rest between rounds etc, one could say. As an example !!!!!!! I mate on the 1st of October every year, & take 3 rounds & I'm finished on the 31 January (123 Days) at the very latest, lock stock & barrel, no if's or buts. Which you would see, under your system 28 -30 days just could not be done. "Interesting thou" how different things are done ;D ;D ;D it does just show us, how at times things are quite different. "Re FLY Aways etc" :D Enjoy.
