thats excactly what my father done :)after they were used , they were burnt , and a new lot put in

is that not an eiderdown ;D ;D ;D

set her up next year again for the same race , try a differant method

make sure youve plenty ventilation ,,,and dont overcrowd your loft , these are the preventatives ,, if its bad, tylan [antibiotic] but as a last resort

are you just meaning they need just black minerals,, maybe right , who knows , but how do you manage stopping them eating any grit when their out?

its really a shame to all concerned , a lot of work and thought goes in to trying to condition birds for these races , i was honestly looking forward to see how these yearlings performed ,never mind theres nothing anyone can do about it ,but it really is a shame

it certainly was nice to see a pic of the bird , a beautifull pigeon, must have had a very strong heart,, as said before,,,,the stuff dreams are made of ,,,,great stuff

a big question really, i,e w hood , natural, sprint , distance etc, but in general i used to like my w,hood cocks out early every morning inc friday ,, bath friday morn and right in again and fed w,hood mix , left in peace all day till basketing shown hens [sometimes ] varying times suiting the cocks b4 showing hens tried to get them to eat a bit ,, even a handfull od redband , mainly to get them to drink ,, but many ways to skin a cat ;D

i think that says it all for me,, but harder to find than what fanciers think sometimes

levi,s book" on the pigeon" is one of the most interesting , but as far as racing goes , dave allens book is a good guide to the beginner , but the old dr barkers book on the racing pigeon , still takes some beating

i beleive its very difficult to get a really good stiock pair, but if you manage it, they seem to breed winners at any age

yes i agree ,, but who knows , things can change fast "untill further notice???" hope so anyway

yes i would agree to that , great flying indeed , congrats to all who timed and all who tried

thanks for keeping us informed speck. lets hope her recovery is swift [[and yours as well,,]

good luck paulo, as far as feeding,, i should listen to dad ;D [best of luck ]

{MOVED-MESSAGE-PLACEHOLDER}

could be very interesting dooman ,, good luck , may see your findings at a later time,,, just out of curiosity ,like many , i raced too many for the size of loft , i nearly allways found that i was left with the anmount the late david palmer advocated i,e,a half to 1cubic metre per pigeon , coincidence,,i dont know

well done tammy ,, good flying

i would say chocolate,,,,,,,fruit and nut ;D

I WOULD SAY A NO, TO YEARLINGS DRIVING , BUT THERES THE ODD ONE THAT CAN HANDLE IT, ,,BUT,WITH PIGEONS, YOULL ALLWAYS GET AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE

WELL DONE TO ALL ,A DIFFICULT RACE , MANY PERFORMANCE PIGEONS NOT HOME YET, LETS HOPE THEY RETURN

GET WELL SOON ROSE ,LETS HOPE YOUVE A SPEEDY RECOVERY,

you can get nystan,,,[same thing] in chemists here ,dont know if its on prescription or not, but in spain i bought nystatin [excactly the same] over the counter, very cheaply

youll get ,",let off" ;D ;D ;D with that one ;D ;D ;D
