another tip is ,, make sure your hens are not too fat prior to pairing [difficulty in getting them to lay ]

i would ask the same,, and would agree in seperating them for a while [youll be quicker in the end] keep the fat off them , plenty shavings, tobacco stalks when re-pairing them , give them a little hemp seed each day untill pairing and good luck

fantastic sight,, just shows you how pigeons dont like flying over water,, on release they flew straight upwards , as opposed to normal lib,, wonder how far they had to fly ??

best of brittish luck ;D good luck,,hope all goes well

think i did enough on this one,,,,, but will send a tenner to [which address]

nantes national 605 miles ist fed ist region 2cnd national ,,same bird ,same racepoint 12 section 25th national , same bird scored well twice from scottish national sarilly , b4 having his wing broke at 4 years old

good luck with it hope things go well

quite agree

please use the private message system for same [ pm,s]

big welcome taff ,and ,all the very best

a very true story about a fancier ,, whose" theorie" was that this certain breed of birds commit suicide at about 7 days old,,,,, he had no fronts on the boxes , the yb,s were infested with red mite > > > [actualy worse than the first" frog theorie" [no one post],,,,as this one was true :-/ and he actualy beleived this to be true [in a certain way it was :-/]

all looking great

simple well known trick is ,,,when a flight feather is bent,, hold the flight over hot steam [boiling kettle] flight will straighten out in front of your eyes

with due respect mike,," the stress of mass liberation will sort them out,",,,,, you can loose the best ,, their only babies ,,in my opinion patience is the game

in the shorter races a mix with plenty carboheydrates [ light mix] [on widowhood ] as much as they want ,,,longer races 5-600 miles build up with plenty protein [heavier mix]

beware of sending a yearling cock driving hard to nest

training tips, beware of cold east winds in april,, a few trainers in these ,, birds wont last the season [when the wind is in the east , its neither good for man nor beast ],,,,,,,,,a true saying

r.i.p. ml bell,, condolences to the family

well done lister ;D ;D ;D ive been looking for an hour ;D ;D ;D this is getting addictive ;D ;D ;D

c,mon tammy :) get your pic up of your blackpool show prizewinner up ;D tammy got a good prize in a very strong class [big entry]

its quite amazing really ,,if seeds are planted about pigeons in youngsters ,some do take to them [get the bug ],,maybe for a short time,, ,,,,then the hormones take over,, but after that , they usually want to keep them again ,, as silverwings says ,,,some way of re-vamping the pigeon fancy is really needed ,

oocysts will not survive long if the loft is dry [damp sand is the worst for cocci worms and poor health]
