just wondered the forums veiws on this,, i was allways happy sending a bird with its second flight just peeping through, , but in the past won the amal[over 500 miles ][4 feds ] from sartilly with a w,hood cock , paired in jan , sent in june, without casting a flight, the bird was buzzing and flying nearly all day, had 7 wins b4 this [not all same year],,,,in other words do you think the moult of the flights make any differance, i wouldnt send birds on there 4th ,5th flight,as i think this is when the body moult gets started [even though you dont notice it then , but it is starting, opinions , anyone??

better news , compo , will keep praying , he recovers well

nice one mosslands ;D ;D ;D ;D nobodiies answered that one ;D ;D ;D

must give this one to speck,,, its the owner to blame for bad trappers, not the birds ,,,, they need that confidence from day one

if you put galley pots with maples in their box everyday theyll be eating themselves in a fortnight ,, not that i would seperate them then , but at 3 weeks as voc says theyll all be full cropped and sitting as warm as toaston the floor of the loft,,,,,,,,,this is the time they actual;y get looked after less with the adults,,,as they just want to breed again

great to hear that ben ,,,look forward to seeing pics

dont know about being the best,,, but they would be the happiest ;D ;D ;D ;D

yes quite incredible , certainly some result ,, makes you wonder

great news jason,, glad to hear youve braved the storm, :) best of luck

congrats ,, could well be grizzles , but far more exciting waiting and watching them develope,, best of luck :)

yes good lad gangster ,,, god bless and see him through all

;D ;D ;D ;D happy memories ;D ;D ;D sore memories ,, we formed our own wee private club as lads,,, no clocks [no money ;D] getting the old rubbers from" the real pigeon men"we had about ten young lads in it , streeters , half tumblers you name it ;D we had to run to a centre point [the chemist shop] [not in it ;D ;D ;D] first to arrive with rubber won the race,, i cycled with[ my would be winning rubber ;D] and a big stick came poking out a hedge , through the spokes ,, over the handlebars ,,,went hame greetin ;D ;D ;D,,,,,,, the other two mates brothers ;D ran with rubber , the one without the rubber got there first, then somebody else got there b4 the other brother who had the rubber ;D ;D ;D good scrap that day ;D ;D ;D

we lead others follow ;D ;D ;D good luck wiley

birds should be ok , even if they go back to the old place , dont give them a bath for a fortnight , let them out hungry , have some seeds scattered round garden , let them see you filling the bath [splashing the water] , and throwing some canary seed and hemp around, once they get a pick outside [,even if they go after that ] theyll be back best of luck

:'( :'( sorry to say ,,,if youve dirty eggs , theres something wrong in the birds or in the loft [could be an inexperienced pair, but still should be clean] if theve plenty nesting material and loft bone dry ,, eggs should be spotless [and the birds contented]

neither do i alf ,, i think its me,s crafty posts of letting folk guess. anyway my own thoughts are that early april is far to early , the same birds will never keep in condition for long , especialy having been trained b4 that , i found it best to try and get a few odds and end birds trained for the first 4 races , then stop them , and start my main team in may, in the past have found this to be a much better way

hi stew,, i meant to add ,,,with plenty grit and minerals ,,,good luck stew

weve had clubs burst up ,, feds burst up unions burst up ,, ,,,,is it worth it over a clock,,,,,,,,just concentrate on getting your birds perfect , youll beat anyone some of them that shout about ets. could really be doing with a calander, not a clock :)

so sorry to hear that norman , i hope the culpritis found and punished ,sad news

we must carry fighting on,, pigeon men sometimes are their own worst enemy , most of it is caused by , jealousy, greed,and selfishness

really so sad to hear that jason , its not your fault , just you keep battling on , youll get there,, when you have time to think better im sure youll think of something,, if you need any help just pm,,so really sorry for you and the young lads ,, i really feel for you mate

nice one ed. looks great, best of luck

i had a nice yellow hen , flew reasonable, mated it with a show racer powder blue cock ,, bred a yellow hen that won in most local and fed shows racing classes ;D [flew 129 mies] ;D it was a real stunner,,,to look at ;D louella breeds loads of these or used to anyway, yellow kirkpatricks,,,,for racing agree with vic ,, about the colours

best of luck to you mark and sally , it is very annoying when you get the likes of this ,, but as time passes theyll see what idiots theve made out themselves ,,,,best of luck, to you both
