  15. if you was to use your own vehicle to transport the birds and not charge any labour cost for yourself could you do it for less then the guys who work as couriers ?, if not, then you must be getting a cheap service already

  20. any birds not only pigeons tend to stay in the light, thats probably why they are not entering your loft during the evening, is it darker in the loft than it is outside, if so, try to use large torches to light the loft interior and exterior. but dont shine the lights directly at the birds kev
  21. the size of eggs layed are in relation to the size of the female that is laying them, racers will lay from 16 grams up to 26grams with the average being 22 grams, size makes no difference to hatch rates as long as all else is normal and correct....... though the chicks will be different sizes and will grow in size in relation to the size of egg it came from..in other words your choice will produce big or smaller birds kev
