carlsberg

our longest race is saintes 512 mls won our club by 2hrs 29 min was also second club that was in 05, in 06 longest race allowed due to restrictions was messac 367mls,

feed same corn still in their boxes

lets hope it doesn't go to penalties

i use straw and that doesn't do them no harm,i also save feathers from the last moult and they use these as well

cracking pair of blues like the dark uns aswell

i had same problem with mine so i fed them just on barley then 2 weeks later they started coming down ,now all have laid so hens must have been overweight.[fed barley cos i read a post on here] good luck anyway hope they lay soon

;D :) ;D

they only have 1 ounce a day except thursday 1+1/2 ounces then friday 2 ounces ,when they get liberated it is probably 16+ hours since they last got fed ,when they return from a race they are just as hungry

nice pics quite like the figurita, keep us posted with what the young turn out like

if it is a normal race .ie. basketing on friday liberated saturday then day of basketing i feed normal racing mix maybe 2ounces in the morning about 9.30 then in the afternoon about 3 they get about 1/2 ounce seed and maybe a few peanuts let them eat what they want for 10 mins then take their food pots away.

they got what they deserved,go granny

have you got any pics of parent birds to post

hopefully he's a man u fan an he'll giv em the jonas touch

i just feed mine bean's,maple pea's+tare's /which is bjf's No1 mix but i think it buckton's call it high speed, they also get a bit of conditioning seed on trapping

no he got it from barnsley lofts just seen it on his other thread

agree its a very tidy setup you got there

nice looking loft mate

i'd go for sputniks because most ets companies sell trapping inserts whereas it could be more difficult to convert the stalltrap for use with ets. as for training them to use it dont feed them the day b4 they go out then when they want to trap back in just throw some feed in through the sputnik bars if there hungry they should go in

i've used olive oil in the past after clearing some of the old skin out

around 24 days

just dont lean a board up in hens section they have a tendency to go behind it and lay

loft stock and barrel also all the works of old hand, i've also read racing pigeons by colin osman .but best reads are old hands

must agree most old delbars were blue cheqs mainly never white or grizzle

hoping to fly north road this next season would be great if we can fly with the nrcc
