  11. think he means 6 in the morn to 2 in the day one week then next week 2 in the day to 10 at night really widowhood cocks don't need a lot of training older cocks will be in on it straight away nearly its the yearlings that u need to give a few tosses too i only give mine 6 or 7 before the first race none further than 30 mile that it one more once they start racing good tip too keep them fit when they are building nests put straw in backyard furtest point away from loft and they will be up all day building the nest what i do is take some straw or what ever u using for nest material back out of the nest again and they keep building remember that pigeons use more muscles taking off then flying its great exercise for them little tip for all
  12. im not in club cant be drive 35 mile trip to mark the birds no club in my area will mark my birds cant understand why we cant all fly under same rules none of this mess at the agm of making up more also there should be only 1 club to an area not have 5 6 members in 3 4 clubs in the one area i know what it is its sad really they all want to be a big fish in a small pond
  13. think were both dreamers lol ;D
  14. u want a partner weather here is terrible please
  15. good luck mate
  16. think if ure useing them for breeding u need to put them on barley for a while ;D ;D
  17. that will be your down fall only breed from birds that there young is left and breed off the ones that have raced u will find using this method that ure percentages of losses will become much lower so u will need to keep less birds have used this method then when u have this done u breed off only the birds getting u good results usually what u will find if u are lucky that there is a common factor there could a hen or cock in your loft that is showing that his children and grandchildren are getting the results for u then just breed off as many of children as you can ive worked along these lines i bred i think 38 young birds last year with only 3 losses bascailly in my young bird loft last year the lines of one hen was running through over 3/4 of my young birds last year and this year the same
  18. that be a good idea get in with someone localy with flyaways well it seems the more birds u have in a certain loft the more flyawways u will get for e.g a loft can hold 40 birds if u put 40 birds in it there should be no prob maybe a few if u put 50 birds in it u will lose more i have found over the years that on average a loft will sort it self we all have bad years with slaps of hawks but on normall u will find after say 5 year what the correct birdage in your loft should be
  19. without a doubt birds cant be bought into tip top condion with out it
  20. i know trappers that use it with success
  21. belive it or not i know a lot wont but peanut butter is great
  22. wouldent be a prob they can come a little week at times but if u get a good one they can be a star in the racing loft and stock loft
  23. also keep very few stock birds take as many rounds off them as possible even if u can switch the pairs during the bredding season that way u can find out fairlly fast what is in your stock loft
  24. well even if u have sections left over id say 30 is loads at the start u want to learn about birds if u have t many u will spend all day cleaning out topping up drinkers and so on belive me the list is endless and the more u watch them and the more time u spend with young birds the better the more u have the more u lose too keep them in a reasonable size section where there never to far away from u but make sure the air is good if u can smell pigeons in your loft there are too many any questions u have or if i didn't explain anything properly just ask
  25. id spilt again for 4 days feed 50% barley put 5 ml of wheat germ oil onto a kilo of corn every day a day before pairing feed 80%mix also if u separate knock them back to 3/4 of an ounce this should help also some conditioning seed also helps day or so before pairing not to much though and again on the day of pairing hope this helps
