very good keep it up well done

well done mate..... congrates...... wot type of birdage in your club sounds strong with blokes sending 40s an 50s?

woz just curious mate they all look great ;D

good question!!! anwser is yes!!!! most people just dont care when they let out at least you had the intelligence to ask, it just wouldn't be very fair on the guys who are hoping to time early birds, best not have any distractions. best of luck everyone thats racing ;D

nice set up mate

looking great.... just wondering y ye have some birds rung on the left leg an others on the right leg!!!! are they gift birds or birds you bought in?

yup ur dead rite..... i also said dont inject anything that you dnt have to!!!!!!! :-/ and as you just stated you have to inject for paramyxo

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND INJECTING FOR ANYTHING YOU DONT HAVE TO. inject for paramixo(not correct spelling) if ye wana treat for paratyphoid then i think parastop by "deweerds" is the best around it also does a couple of other treatments at the same time and it goes into the drinking water, for worms give an ordinary de-wormer. would also treat for canker with bs from deweerds ;) best of luck wotever you decide ;)

are they the same photos as the red pied just looks like as if this photo isnt a red pied well not to me it doesnt!!!!!!! :-/ they also look alot smaller in this photo!!! maybe i need to go to spec savers to ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

picked up 2 lovely well reared young birds off tomas30 last week just like to say thanks a million very happy with them tom.... if ye ask me they were a steal at £25. we'll give them a lash treat them like me own im sure they'll do me a turn... nice one one tom all the best for the coming season to you and all ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

depends on the times of trainers going over your area!!!!! say if they go over between 12 noon and 1300hrs then 1400 would be grand just avoid your local trainers an they'll be grand

3rd training toss today 8mile... 3 x 8 mile tosses sun shining the last few days 10 to 11 degrees southern winds!!!!! cant see anything wrong with it just happy to get a couple of little 1s under them just to keep them ticking over ;)

so am i the only one who gave a short toss then? :-/ :-/ :

for the last few weeks my birds are doing between 30mins 70ins around the house depending on the wether ie north/south winds, today i decided to give them a very short toss....only 10 min flight to the loft!!!!!! surely to god 10min on the wing wont do them any harm..... considering they're flying round the house for a hell of alot longer! woud love to hear your thoughts on this. thanx

i dont no wot fuss is to be honest we're paying 18 to 18.50 euro for versa laga plus bags which are only 20kg :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ ??) : : :

have to say fairplay to ye all lovely youngsters

wot a belter very nice

good man lenny!! have to say in my opinion ou are spot on no matter wot distance

ive being reading this tread from day 1 and find it very very intersting and will continue to read as long as you are willing to write, i for one can never be educated enough, so please carry on...... if you will thanks again

cant see the pedigres

My questions are these: Does anyone see any problems getting the birds to home to a large box rather than a loft? Would it be OK to house them with a hen fantail that does fly out and come straight back? Can YB be trained to be hungry so they return promptly or do they need constant access to food because they are still growing? What age should I get them and how long before they become strong enough to fly? sorry to be a complete novice - any advice gratefully received!!! Lee 1, not really a problem but not ideal either, each to their own but woudnt be me 2,regards the hen fantail yeah that would be perfect u'l hav the youngbirds in an out in no time! 3,never let the young birds out when hungry if the get into trouble so to speak then they will go into another loft with no hesitation, always make sure they have something in the tank 4, 25 to 28 days old would be grand not to strong but when u get them lock them up for 3 to 4 days so they can adjuet to their new surroundings...... hope this helps but just my opinions maybe u should get a bigger loft dnt know to many men with boxes that keep pigeons an win

yes i also heard this but i believe they must be very very similar to each other almost identical so if the sire had 2 daughters(say a blue an a check) an the sire been a blue then i believe he is best suited to the blue hen but as i said she must identical an he must be a top performer also!!!!!! this is just something ive heard an also believe myself

very nice lofts plenty of space an v very tidy credit to you both

either would i mate very very nice birds couldn't split them

yep bout 500 yards from me but wudnt hav as many members as ur club kev takes a couple of hours!!!!! :-/ :-/ :-/ u no wot its like
