i think theres a theres fine balance in keeping yb,s on a winning weight,, if fed too light , they will not grow/moult 100pc in my opinion, some do this to win a few short races,, i dont think its worth it really, yb,s well fed , well trained , will soon "muscle up" and still win yb races and make better o,bs

my thoughts are basket train asap,, ive heard many fanciers say,, if they want water they will find it,, i dont beleive in these thoughts,[some will do without water for a long time] yb,s deheydrate very quickly, i think its a must they learn to have confidence in the basket and are able to drink freely

more or less my thoughts especially letting them off in small batches , if at all poss, i think , the bigger the batch, the more chance of injuries

well done bakes,, hope things go well,, great to see you enjoying it

just noticed this :B :B :B but thanks guys

well done casbri, some achievement , some distance

well done blaz, great gesture,, best of luck to you ,

hope that was FORK you said ;D ;D ;D

the birds seem to love a hot bath,, i have did this b4, after a race, the hot bath, and condies crystals , i believed soothed and cleaned any un-noticed bruizes or knocks they might have taken at lib, or en-route home

i do think the duramitex is weaker now than of old

was told years ago to dip birds using a third of a bottle of duramitex in warm water to a bucket of warm water, on a good dry warm day,, this most certainly did the trick,,

apart from using additives for baths,[ many ideal in posts] does any one give hot baths [no smart answers please ;D ;D]

thanks mate,, brought a tear to my eye printing it,, many a lesson to learn here ,,for all

cher ami, cher ami, how do you do listen, let me talk to you ill not hurt you, dont you see? come a little closer to me little scrawny blue white flight messenger for men who fight tell me of that deep red scar there,,,just where no feathers are what about your poor left leg tell me cher ami, i beg boys and girls are at a loss, just how you won that silver cross "the finest hour that came to me was when i marched with whittlesey we marched so fast, so far ahead "we are all lost" the keeper said mon cher ami,, thats my dear friend you arethe one we have to send the whole battalian now is lost and you must win, at any cost so with message tied on tight i flew up straight with all my might before i got up high enough those watch full guns began to puff machine gun, bullets came like rain youd think i was an aeroplane when i started tothe rear my? the shot was comming near but i flew on, straight as a bee the wind could not catch up with me untill i dropped out of the air into our own mens camp,,so their but cher ami, upon my word you modest little gallant bird now dont you know that you forgot tell how your breast and leg was shot "oh yes, the day we crossed the meuse i flew to rampart with the news again the bullets came like hail i thought for sure, that i eould fail the bullets buzzed by, just like a bee so close. it allmost frightened me one struck the feathers of this sail another went right though my tail but when i got back to the rear i found they hit me,,here,,,and here but that is nothing never mind old poilo, there is nearly blind i only care for what they said for when they say the way i bled and found in front a swollen lump the message hanging from this stump the french and mine said "tres bien" or very good,, american mon cher ami you brought good news our armies gone across the meuse you surely had a lucky call/ and so im glad, i guess thats all ILL SIT , SO PARDON ME, I BEG, ITS HARD A_STANDING ON JUST ONE LEG,,,, cher ami died of his multiple war wounds on june the 13th 1919, less than a year he had completed his service to the u,s, army signal corps, upon his death a taxidermist preserved the small pigeon for future generations,,,,,,,,,,,,,a bird that had become an inspiration, to millions over the years
