plenty protein feed whist moulting , when the last flight is fully grown a lighter diet, and exercise round the loft,,but different feeding for differant racing

think that view would put the cocks off gareth ;D ;D ;D

still quite few vandies on the go yet, i suppose theyll be like the rest ,,some good, some bad, i remember an old fancier in blackpool had them for years[ so annoying when the name is on the tip of my tongue] but remember they were the real toughies

i was just thinking that myself ;D ;D ;D ;D why did you not pm me back sean,ive got to put that on the forum now cause your not taking pm,s;D ;D was trying to help you

i would advise the same as square peg , go back to him and explain the situation honestly, if theres any decency in him he should put you right,,and to be fair the birds look bad now when their moulting , as far as the fret marks, these can be cause with a variety of reasons , it usualy means that when that particular flight was growing the bird has went through some sort of stress??whatever that stress may have been , the fancier should be able to tell you [if hes a decent fancier]

im getting a wee bit lost here toon barmy??you say you have a copy of the transfer,,,do you mean the receipt part,,,, or do you still hold the original transfer?? if you hold the original transfer and havent sent it to the union to be registered, the bird could be transferred to anyone by now, and its legally theirs,,,,,,but if its the duplicate [receipt transfer] which has been registered in your name , quite simply the bird is yours , and how could the seller sell the bird without a signed transfer form to accompany the bird

these two birds are responsible for many winners and both won £10,000 between them ,,,,,thought the photos would have been clearer ,,, but both scored between them 11 prizes at over 500 miles inc lewis hen 8th blueribband rennes snfc and colin 2 nat nantes snfc [ist bird in to scot. flying over 600 miles

:) LOVELY PICS WITH THE WHITE BIRDS AGAINST THE BLUE SKY :)

:) I HAVE MINE IN A SMALL BOXROOM SIMILAR TO DARRANS[bUT NOT QUITE AS TIDY ;D ;D] NICE ONE THERE DARRAN ;D

;D ;D ;D did you say drink everybodies spirits ;D ;D ;D

:) happy birthday rory ,,have a great day :)

;D ;D ;D i wouldnt mind those 4 pigeons in my loft ;D ;D ;D dream along with me ;D ;D

having had dealings with stuart willcox, found him to be fair [reasonably priced for quality pigeons] honest, and no nonsense,,,,,,,deal made....money sent,,,,,birds up ,,,,,everyone happy,,,,,,as simple as that

4 latebreds ready 2 now 2 in a week,,,best of breeding also couple of hens one direct off nat winner just purchased last week

;D ;D ;D not too many drams fifer ;D ;D ;D sounds like a great night , im sure the gilmour bros will be very proud, and quite rightly so, im sure itll be a big success :)

in a nut shell, i think we all have to strive for that.

just looking back at that photo of " de lightenberg" what a beautifull looking pigeon and great photo :)

by listening to various fanciers , there seems to be quite afew ybs worked their way home, which is a bit unusual at this time of the year ,with all the grain in the feilds etc anyone else found this?

we do have, pigeon ,its on a weekly basis and really great fun ,ittl not be that long b4 it starts again , once the birds have cleaned up on the moult its an" on line" show , where you send in a photo of your bird , then each forum member is allowed one vote to decide the winner,youll find it great fun ;D

well done linda, and please give elton and anne my best regards

unfortunately its not hard to see that pigeon racing is a dying sport,,but its still there, and as long as its there , theres room for improvement,if each fancier went out their way to get one person , be them old ,young, male, or female, interested in the pigeons and involved with them , there would soon be more fanciers, i say this because many of us are too interested ourselves and our results to be bothered with this, a young person is only too keen if you let them see and handle ybs in the nest etc , then let them" own" a couple of birds, ive had this in the past, and went to the parents house and explained[for safety reasons] then had the father comming round to see "his sons" birds, then the father became interested,,and with the son pestering his mum and dad, managed to get a loft and a few birds and began racing them [the father is a very good fancier now]the young lad then became interested in the other birds,and for a while the pigeons took a back seat,, now that lad is married with a family and since started on his own [but not as good a flier as his father ;D ;D g.b ;D] so it can be done,,,,,,,then theres keith ;D took an interest in my birds at 11 years old and helped me a lot , now 18 going to get married just so he can get a house and garden to race pigeons ooh [its agood job i know his girl freind well ;D ;D ;D] ,,then theres gv top flier in club now ,better not say his age as hes getting older now ;D started him off at about 12year old and will joke ,ive never forgiven you for starting me up ;D ;D so it really is possible if we make the effort,and make it fun

phone call from linda thats sgt white home,, seems to be in the middle of two drops of 6 where there were two in between , mines was one of the ones in between so at least hes home :)

thanks fifer , just had a phone call from linda shes had a drop of 6 birds unfortunately for me mines was not among them , but shes still waiting as it looks like another strange race ,,the 6 birds are doing 1600 vel but nothing since aprox over an hour ago she was saying it was one of the fastest velocities for this race in a long time, but give linda her due shes tried hard ,put a lot of work into them and at least the birds were still there to go to the race after the losses last week , so he best of luck to her :) shes a very busy lady today with about 4 races inc futirity race :) :)thanks for being a good sport linda :)

;D ;D thanks g g
