very shortly i will have approx 20 pure white busschaerts and rapido's available , 08, and stock birds that ive bred from, offers invited kev

thanks for the info i took 14 birds for their first training flight yesterday, and as i drove back home they flew past me and i was doing 55 mph. maybe the youngsters ive bred could do ok in a race ? as they got home before i did i am unsure as to the actual time involved kev

what is the approx average velocity for a good sprint racing bird, from release point to loft. is the speed calculated in metres per hour or miles per hour, or something totally different thanks Kev

hi i'm interested but can you translate (proven) have the birds bred any young, and what age are they and how tame are they ? kev

they have probably joined up with the 6 whites i have lost over the last few weeks and started there own commune, as mine all wear a ring with my phone number on i find it strange that ive received no phone calls, its not as though there are any dishonest people out there!!! kev

if you are like me and dont have electric in the loft but at this time of year need to feed up etc after work when its dark, try these battery lights from wilkinsons http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/invt/0255432 ive put 3 up in a 3 mtr x 2 mtr loft and they produce the required light to do the job without disturbing the birds kev

its white with a few black tail feathers and one or two black on a wing thanks for the details, its not far from me so it will be released close to home kev

Contact me if this bird is yours, its flying in and out of my place Kev

I think its taken up residence in the space that the missing 5 of mine used to take up before they went flyabout during last few weeks it now flys out with the locals as though its never been anywhere else, yet its ironic that i have 10 stock birds that have been here since March which would fly off without a second glace over their wings if given half a chance kev

the request from the owner was to release the bird away from my loft, i did just that at 1.20pm 30 miles away .. 2 hours later it was found eating another meal and listening to the radio in the loft again kev

how many do you want, ive got a shed full of them kev

the owner has been notified his bird is safe, now waiting for a reply and instructions kev

NEHU SS 2718 08 Its been flying around for approx one week, the owner only needs to let me know what other ring its wearing and you can pick it up kev

nothing stuck in his throat, or any other noise, just the cough and a hicup kev

Hi all anyone know what may be the problem with one of my young cock birds, he keeps coughing and sounds as though he has got hicups at the same time. and if anyone knows what may be wrong, what do i need to cure him, i tried a vet, but to be honest... not much good came of the visit thanks Kev

thanks guys though i probably wont see the birds again kev

hi all can anyone help with locating a couple of stock birds that recently escaped, both white birds with the ring numbers, a PM would be great if they are trying to have free board at your loft or you know where they are hen WHU 07 T10135 male 07 X25145 the male has a youngster in the nest, and his wife is missing him. the hen hasnt been bred with but was being saved til next year thank Kev

sorted thanks, kev

Hi does anyone know who owns this bird.....NEHU 2008 MDS 5189...... If so can you send me details by PM thanks kev

looks like i will be having a drive to the local lavender farm during the weekend kev

Thanks guys for the tips, i will be trying various smellies over the next few days, and YES ive had a YBird fly into the flypapers, READY PLUCKED comes to mind when they are unwrapped kev

Whats the best way of getting rid of flies from the loft, i seem to get hundreds of the little buggers, i use a flynet over the door, fly papers inside the entrance... but could do to have something inside the main loft area the loft is washed out each week so its not the amount of poop on the floor thats the attraction kev

can anyone read the terms and conditions page, the print is tiny on my screen http://www.amdeliveries.com/page001.html

thanks to all for the info kev

this is when a breeding diary comes in handy, you can always refer to the exact date when the eggs were laid the difference in days between due hatching dates will add even more problems if you swap eggs with the birds and probably result in the loss of all (A) I would take one egg away from the hen making sure the remaining one is fertile, and replace it with a pot egg (prevents the hen from sitting to tight on the one youngster) ( leave the one egg under the pair and add a pot egg to replace the broken egg dont forget to put the pot eggs in your pocket and warm them up before putting them along side the real eggs 50% hatching will be better than risking 0% kev
