THIS BREED SEEMS TO HELP LOL ;D ;D ;D

owen, there was certainly no dis-respect meant here, in the least,, only an informative discussion , i completely agree with you that light controls the moult , this off course what the darkenning system is all about,, i agree entirely with your post, i was merely pointing out for beginners, the dangers in not having a full wing moult, but as you say, this can be controlled by light, and off course the proper feeding, but no dis-respect whatsoever

well done skull. in s. africa,,, been watching your results ,,improving all the time,, good luck

youll get plenty of info on that post frank ;D ;D ;D

its a strange one that frank,, it makes you wonder why this happened only the one year, using the same system,, and the yb,s flying very well,,, just wondering what would cause this :-/ our climate in scot?? this confuses us, never mind the birds lol ;D,, but it does make you wonder,,, has anyone down south had this happen?/

with due respect owen, would birds holding full body feathering, well into the autumn, manage to throw all their nest flights for the following year?? in the past ive always put them on normal daylight hours on the longest day,,then after the racing , gave plenty rest, baths, and buttermilk in their water, with no problem in them fully moulting their flights , ive seen fanciers with darkness yb,s holding their last flight,, then the following season threw this last flight at the same time as their second flight

i was thinking down feathers frank i must say ive never seen this

thanks chrisbonnie even tying a cabbage or lettuce washed and sprinkled with a little salt [cabbage good for iron] roots and all , even the earth lol, ,,,to the aviary wire, again making them keep flapping their wings to get at it

its allways a good sign to see plenty down feathers, [as above post suggests],, you will soon notice when they take their second moult ,, the loft will be full of feathers

bright blue skies in the lothians,, very light winds ,, south

just up,, 7 30,, feeling crap [and thats without drink lol] ,, least alf and co, made me smile ;D ;D ;D,,, just hope he got that in the right order ;D ;D ;D ;D

a most positive post

after a shocking week of rain here in the lothians, things look a lot better for saturday

my view on helping youngsters in this sport, is firstly, encouraging and making them welcome and the letting them know, the "skies the limit" if worked on,and is patient. secondly to accept there are more downs than ups , which will make the winning more rewarding,,then would advise him/her to have a good mentor in the management of pigeons,,, and be prepared to work,and think hard on the many aspects of the sport, a good mentor would or should be able to help/advise/console/congratulate,,,,,,,,,and most important give freely,

will add no 9 lol

i am no eyesign expert, and feel there are many like me in the fancy, i think the problem is, there is also many who THINK their eyesign experts, but like me, know very little,[there are also many who DO know about iridology/ eyesign],,,.although a very interesting subject, as , are all subjects on racing pigeons. to me, eyesign means very little, apart from showing good health,[with due respect] and only my opinion, after many years racing pigeons i have found that, as a fancier having the ability, the management, and good honest working pigeons,and to be able to bring good pigeons in to "form" at the time needed, is far more important ,, but i will hazard a guess lol ;D at the two which have won well ,,,,,,,5 and 9
