;D ;D ;D leak still there , had to put my drip proof hat on again, this morning, wallpaper all wet on the washing line ;D ;D ;D not so good

midlothian near edinburgh,[ loanhead] 6 50, very overcast visibility, would say approx 4 miles , breeze east wind with slight rain in it,,,,,,good luck to all that are racing, not racing weather here,

brilliant photos, birds look in tip top condition, best of luck to you j/w

GREAT PHOTOS, SNOWY AND WESTY, KIND REGARDS TO THE FAMILY, ESPECIALLY MY LOVELY WEE PAL ,ANNIE :)

GREAT PHOTOS JASON, LOVELY TO SEE THE KIDS LIKE THAT, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

DOES THE WHITE ONE HAVE CLIPPED WINGS OR IS IT JUST THE WAY THE PHOTO IS TAKEN,,,,NICE BIRDS ANYWAY, I WOULD SAY THEY WERE LIKE CROSSES?

i dont like training obs after the first race, but as you are in a very difficult, position, i might be tempted to give them some decent road work on the wed, i think the differance is that your training the ybs mind,,,, but with old birds your training to get them fit ,but as i see your in a very awkward position

before you let them loose snowy, let them stand for 10 mins or so, and obviously watch the weather, take them hungry, and get them in right away ,when their back, best of luck,,,,j,w

thanks square peg,,will phone tomorrow

slatey, i have sympathy for you, its the old story,,,,,you can please some of the people some of the time,,,,,,

;D ;D ;D forgot about them bruno they would do the trick ;D ;D ;D[if your super fit ;D] maybe to explain things to others, it ws a 1946 gazzete,advertised was the verminater, ;D comlete with foot pump ;D d,d,t, and the zapper,,,,,a bat that you hit them with, to work them both together youd need to be fitter than the bird ;D ;D ;D this is true, ;D ;D and i can tell you we had some laugh over them, thankfully things are a bit modified now ;D ;D ;D

while i find myself on a fine line between saddler and jack , both who have had excellent posts, i cannot help but swing to saddlers side,,,theres always room for improvement, these fanciers years ago must have said the same, hence the widowhood system, i beleive if they were living today,they would still be improving it, we just need to look at roger bannister breaking the 4 minute mile, it was world headlines, but today, with improvement,that 4 minute mile means nothing, i certainly mean no controversy, but in my opinion ,improvement is allways possible

;D ;D ;D your right hyacinth, but it didnt tell you which DAY ;D ;D ;D ooh, ill suffer for that ;D ;D ;D

did you breed the bird snowy? if not it will be at the old loft, if you did breed it, looks like its met with an accident,,,,hope not

su 05 f 4345 b bar hen latebred,

i sure you right hyacinth, if you watch them carefully, im sure they sense many things in the atmosphere, only my opinion

cornwallis didnt say hyacinth,,, thats why i posted as so,, dont know if he was meaning ybs or old b,s, or both,, maybe he could let us know

there are many reasons for widowhood cocks going off the boil some are obvious and some not so obvious, i think the main thing with the cocks are perfect piece during the day, i had my cocks go slightly off and nervy, i fitted a moniter in the house with a camera in the loft and found the reason right away,,a rouge cock that was in and out all the boxes all day, just a pest,, as soon as i removed this cock the birds were differant completely, rested at piece all day and began to fly more and more and showed more confidence, which showed in the results

i think it was further south,,fifer,, they took a real hammering

i would agree with chris, when in doubt ,leave em out,, especialy after some of the races last week in differant parts of england,,,,but can see fifers point of veiw, the race controllers and convoyers, should be experienced to know, to send or not to send

it was meant to go on fun forum, but its allways a wee laugh,,still one roll left rose, ill keep it for the nationals for you ;D ;D ;D

first one doc white giving clockie weather forecast ;D ;D ;D ;D second one clockie getting his birthday present,,,,not the birds ,, the wallpaper ;D ;D ;D ;D [still one roll left ;D ;D ;D]

i tink yb training is completely different from ob training

;D ;D ;D probably look very dead anyway ;D ;D ;D

hes a great flier , especialy with ybs and is from the west of scot, i think he has topped their section a few times , ive seen that video which is quite good but should imagine it should be cheaper than that
