black pigeons to win races, ive had a few ,,,,,but just a thought wonder if theres any proof in racing pigeons,, black or white,,, in hot weather or cold weather, as white is supposed to repel the heat , and black absorb the heat,,,just a thought

no would never send a hungry pigeon , a light "mixture " with some maize , but a full feed if at all poss at time of lib on the friday [a lot will depend on what system you use ] and to what distance you intend trying

i would try and feed on a friday at the time of lib on the sat,,,,, if at all poss,, full feed then take away any thats left

for a short race,, or rather not many hours on the wing ,, a lighter diet [not lighter fuel ;D] a heavier mix for a distance race , longer hours on the wing ,in my opinion

yes a big welcome to all new members

nobilis i have is [in-activated] 2009,, 01, 31 batch no, a449b01 bin ;D ;D ;D,,,,,,,pocket money ,, new vaccination needed ;D ;D ;D

yes , your quite right jstoon, my avian vet had spent time in trying to get this columbo vac ,, but came up with the same answer as your good self nobi-vac , they can supply easily and quickly they had advised me that if buying any columbo- vac , to check for , sell by date , as it hasnt been produced in this country now, for some time

yes ,i would agree with this , but also to get them used to their new owner[confidence] and use of any sound [i,e rattling tin of corn] connecting with their food

after posting a couple of weeks ago on the perigrines attack on the ferals [mixed with racers] ,,,,after visiting the new royal infirmary edinburgh [not 5 miles from this perigrine attack] ,,to-day , i wittnessed a perigrine [pretty unafraid of people?] comming to roost at dusk , it flitted about 10ft above the unaware visitors and patients , certainly not frightened , but roosted on part of a jutting out bit on the r,i,e, roof [this is not a particularly high building and with many pigeon lofts within ,say a 5 mile radius around this building .

a big welcome to the site, the set up and birds look fantastic,, look forward to seeing your posts

yip i can vouch for that you often get the odd one now in their jan- aarden kit of 6 birds

you will see it above on" sticky" list of" couriers services ", including pigeontracker

i have heard that selenuim and zinc can be of help, havent tried it so i wouldnt know. but ive known an old cock to stop filling eggs when moved to a new loft, but had some fertile eggs, the following year,

great to see this report may she continue to keep well ,, really heartfelt and touching ,, also showing the good in the fanciers

no neither do i , nothing, like a minus 2 degrees , to kill all the nasties in the loft , the pigeons dont mind this cold at all ,, birds were in the bath ,, weekend ,,frrreezing not sure if this would bring on a false condition?
