after trying most systems , found racing widowhood cocks the best and easiest, for all distances ,[ but set up differantly off course] but a hard 5 to 600 mile race a good hen will take a bit of beating ,,,off course widowhood , roundabout hens are just as good, but a lot of extra work

yes , quite agree craig ,, all info on pigeons should be shared on the forum ,and thats for the oldies too ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D hopeyour not meaning breast feeding them craig ;D ;D ;D only kidding, i know what you mean ,, and beleive me its worth trying :)

excellent info to look back on ,, very well done

good couple of interesting posts,, ill bet the birds that won on may 13th won a lot more after that,, in my opinion a lot of fanciers [usualy from keenness] make the mistake of taking too much out the birds too early in the season

very interesting article ,,worth the read

i would say ,depends on the time , money , and space you have, but its much easier to concentrate on a small number of class pigeons

pairing my birds up, would depend on the system and races i was tending to go for .ie mating w,cocks in jan and letting them rear and sit no longer than 9,,10 days on the second round eggs, they would hold their flights , but sitting longer than that after rearing , would be far too advanced in the moult for the later races, if racing natural and intending going for the later, longer races i woudnt pair up till april,[ approx 10 weeks b4 intended long race] by long races i mean from 5 to over 600 miles, but as usual theres allways exeption to the rule :)

i would always leave a drinker in for them , whilst on darkness system,, as to whether they take ,or need a drink? , at least its there for them, but the hours of darkness are going to be no more or less during the comming weeks , and even worse when its been freezing , they have to wait on you changing it :)

;D if you can get buy one get one free pigeon grub ,,,,,that would be the best

;D ;D ;D good job you said that ,,,,,,,i forgot allready,, but done it now, save me forgetting again :-/ :-/

i have this stuff [as i was given it free ;D] doesnt tell you much on the bottle 500 ml,,,,,,,ingredients aqua,,[water] and 4% orego stim liquid,,,,,remarkable racing,,,better breeding,naturally , thats all it says on the bottle, apart from ,,meridian ,animal health , how much was it marky? if you dont mind me asking

think it could be john hodgeson,,,annan , but theres a few won it more than once

pm,d moderators and webmaster ,, dont know whats happening, im sure it will be sorted out

mine seems to be working ,,,anyone else got this prob?

havent a clue what this or how this is ,, but will try and find out

:) happy birthday alan ,, havea great day

lets hope they mature well snowy and westy and develope in to decent birds

brother won best in show with red factor canary [ true colours]

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

great programme for the public, shown in good light for a change,, had neighbours ask me today if i seen it , they thought it was fascinating,,,,,so can only be good

:) well done vic,,,great flying

i should imagine ace that the quicker you put an appeal or letter explaining ,, the better within [7 days say] i dont know your rules,, i also see that the secy is the fed president , if there was a meeting held by the fed ,concerning this i should suggest that as your club secy is the fed president,he should take no part in the meeting ,,and the vice president take over. [best of luck to you ace]

would definately appeal to the rpra or put up some kind of a protest as this could happen if 2 or 3 secys done this in the future, the 4th in the ave would win it??? something far wrong

:) happy birthday barry have a great day :)
