  3. stange that bob.. at 10 years old should be ok, have you tried it with differant hens
  4. the reason i was asking p.m is that i had hens in aviary , too fat and some were taking ages to lay, but i never thought of looking at, colour of breast, but put them on sparse diet for a few weeks , and it seemed o do the trick [ i wish i had looked now] the older hens were the worst, i just wonder if their body organs i;e kidneys ,liver, etc are not functioning as they should,,, just a thought

IT WAS FOUND BY THE DUTCH RESISTANCE MOVEMENT, AND NURSED BACK TO FULL HEALTH. AS ALL DUTCH RACING PIGEONS HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY THE GERMANS, IT WAS A PRIZED POSESSION. THE MEMBERS OF THE RESISTENCE HAD INFORMATION, REGARDING THE LOCATION OF A GERMAN U BOAT BASE, WHICH WAS VITAL TO GET TO ENGLAND.THEY THEN ATTACHED THE CODED INFORMATION TO THE PIGEONS LEG IN A METAL CANISTER AND SET IT FREE, DESPITE BEING SHOT AT BY THE GERMAN SOLDIERS, THE PIGEON RETURNED TO MY GRAND FATHERS LOFT AT DALTON, MY GRAND FATHER WAS PUZZLED TO FIND THE CANNISTER AND TOOK IT TO THE POLICE, THE INFORMATION WAS DECODED AND PASSED TO THE RAF WHO CARRIED OUT A SUCCES FUL BOMBING RAID ON THE GERMAN BASE. A MESSAGE WAS SENT OUT TO THE BBC WHO INCORPARATED IT IN TO A RADIO SHOW.

  9. ;train and send the bird ,,see what its made of,,,,,remember a national winner from winchburgh , being a stray [not when it won the national ;D ;D ;D]
  10. im afraid its not worth it as it could be the downfall of your other birds, the bird would be better" away," sorry to have to put it that way, but really its true, i would also keep my eyes on the birds that bred it
  11. is that pigeon a stock bird fying out or in an aviary p,m?
  12. worth having a look at jack barkells writtings, some excellent photos on the pigeon breasts
  13. e mail from .......... " i am led to beleive that ivermectin has been successful in treating pigeons for worms and external parasites. " the product we stock is noromectin which contains 5% ivermectin, this is avaiable atthe price of 22£plus vat and postage 250 ml,,, as this is a pml product we would only sell it for the treatment of cattle and therefor would not be able to supply any furter info other then that is suppled with the product,,,kind regards,,,,,,,,,,,,, why is it not licenced for pigeons, [and yet it works perfectly] because it kills hawks. why is it licenced for cattle , because hawks dont kill coos..[cows for the english] :) take my word for it, it works perfect with racing pigeons, and has a "triple" effect
  14. ;D ;D ;D cant find my glasses, ;D ;D ;D ;D but can still manage to see it,,,,,,just ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
  15. up here they pay approx 35p to 49 p per bird yb racing until you get to the open and yb nat..probaly think im mad but if say the first 25 birds were at that price then 5 pound a bird there after, there wouldnt be so much rubbish bred and folks would be more care full with there birds, i know it would never happen,,,,,,but makes you think??? plenty fanciers started off with over one hundred ybs, their mostly down to an ave 30 if their lucky? my freind started with 22 and has 18 left [and won more money] so it has to make you think??? :)

  19. thats what im saying fifer they cant say what its meant to say they can only say what the rules state , i.e there is no club rule 33 ,so meeting should have been void as it was held under a non existing rule.
  20. ;D ;D ;D and the strange thing is none of them would be there if it wasnt for" the rock dove" but it really is amazing how many diffrent breeds there are , probably hundreds :)
  21. yes and thats only one,, they do have a big appetite, especialy when feeding young, some photo, chat
  22. brilliant sale with really top class birds im sure some of the forum members will buy some [ in fact i know of two at least,,,, so a wee donation to pigeon basics for the ad would do no harm ;D ;D ;D good luck with your sale ;D ;D ;D
