A guy once said to me he wasn't expecting his pigeons quick as they were 700 milers. I said, I can understand what he meant by that but he was an hour and half behind from a 70 mile race

Must be something in the water in the deep south :lol: You are all inbred back woodsmen

lol, I remember a top Lesmahagow fancier swearing it was all downhill from his loft to Lanarkshire and Glasgow and unfair lol. I said to him, their no on *expletive removed* bikes lol

Eat half of them and take them back and complain about them being broken, get another whole packet. expletive remove Tony, needs must lol :emoticon-0140-rofl:

lol

lol, brilliant

Sorry to hear this Brian,you should give it another month and decide then m8.We all get scunnered at times and want to throw in the towel but I think pigeons is in your blood m8, wait another wee while and see how ye feel.

Well done Willie, great season m8,

never touched a drink in ma life

The best doos go to the Gold cup Walter and if ye win a ticket in this it is special.

27th section 106th open 2008 Boswell and g.dtr, Walter, cherish all SNFC tickets m8, especially 500 mile ones as they are hard to come by .

ill dig oot the results in the winter m8 and let ye know.I like doing this in the off season as it keeps the mind active lol. Alex Guiness is the same, he has all the results from the last 50 years.Makes interesting reading m8.

Aye , youll miss it right enough, lying with a litre in the sun , u lucky cant.Atb m8 and enjoy yer holiday, watch they terrorists on the plane lol.

There ye go, paying £500 for an 8 yr old and hitting gold right away m8.Not many would try that but I would as I think old is gold

That's one of the best stock cocks in Scotland but nobody has heard of it? You ask any top nat fancier in the west and they'll usually know the good birds about them .You must contact Louella who are responsible for it Walter with dna proof of its offspring and they will give you what you want for it and its offspring.Its funny, I never even knew you flew the nationals til this year m8 and ye ve got a stock cock like that.

You've got a cock that's bred 11 birds to score in the national Walter,? Im sure a big stud would be interested in that one, get the dna done and your into a few quid.ps. I don't know anyone in Scotland with such a pigeon. Tell us all about this cock and what birds he has bred, :emoticon-0137-clapping:

Well done lads.

You would've thought less of this pigeonman if he hadn't spotted and said about the lice Rab because if you saw them on the pigeon after this man handled them you would of thought his observation not too good. ps.only yb section winner ?

Aye Rab, that's why I would compensate with supplements and oils etc.

I would say I would prefer them ranging/kiting before getting tossed. Something is usually hanging over them if they are fed right and not flying well around the loft.Darkness/early bred ybs don't range the same as naturals either in my experience, this is probably because of their sex drive kicking in quicker.

high carbs, low or no protein.Put them on barley/depurative for a couple of days and watch them go

Now we are getting the full story, ;)Chris Gordon does a similar system and we cant argue with his results Billy. Spot on m8.

Bad doos range as well Colin.Im not saying your doos were bad, im saying ranging has nothing to do with the calibre of pigeons.

Barley is brilliant Billy but I think birds need more until they are through the moult.omo. Not sure if the feathering gets dry and brittle with barley alone? I know Chris Gordon does it but he gives extras in other ways to compensate. Mine go on barley/wheat after the moult and look great.
