birds bred from pigeons that have won at these distances , irrespective of " strain",, especially bred from winning pigeons flying over similar terrain

no probs ben,,just a mis-understanding [i think when you posted on the forum was the time i was in hospital, for a week ] but allways better to p,m,,,, anyway ben, ive promised a lot of yb,s out,, [dont keep many birds] but you may have to wait on yours , same as some others,, but promise ,as i said, ill do my best ,, good luck ben hope you have a good season [wont be long now ]

my wife used to call me pee nuts ,,,the reason for this, i was brought up in a family of eleven,, all bed wetters ,, no money,,, one bed,, 6 at one end of the bed, 5 at the other end of the bed,, my wife asked me which end of the bed i slept in,, i told her,,,,the shallow end ;D ;D ;D ;D [not off topic peenuts ;D]

i call this,, using the loaf ;D ;D ;D

red skin peanuts for human consumtion are probably the best,, but very expensive indeed,,, far to expensive for me ;D i have purchased top quality johnstone and jeff peanuts , these are not for human consumtion,,, but i eat them and love them ;D ;D ;D , on the bag [again] it says 99.9 p.c. purity i simply put some in the microwave for a min or two, and reckon this takes any mould or nasties that might just be on them,, i eat mine raw though, theve never done me any harm ;D ;D ;D it must be remembered that peanuts are full of protein and very fattening [im 9 stone 5 ;D], i find them usefull in bringing up youngsters after 10 days old , just a few , also i found they were good to put a little weight and body on to the distance birds,,, pigeons love peanuts and beleive in a little of what they fancy does them good

i dont think your plans with the widowers has gone at all, in fact with your cards played right could well be very successfull, ,, must you send your birds to this first race , even indeed the second race? if i were you i would forget about these first races and concentrate on the biger later races ,,,most of your members birds , if trained for a fortnight, then sent to your first race, at this time of the year, will never have birds on top form when it counts ,, my advice would be ,have patience , get them out each day for a fly, then train them at the end of april,, and race them, you will find when most birds/members have fell by the way side , your birds will be in top form,, best of luck

in my opinion winning long distance birds, must contain winning long distance blood lines , but as far as training is concerned, by the time the bird is 2or 3 years old [mature birds for the distance], you should have a fair idea, what makes the bird fit, all are individuals and what would suit one, may not suit another some thrive on a lot of work, some dont , this is where , loft management covers all , and this to me, is a very important factor

if you take yor birds training , make sure there is someone there, to get them right in, giving a lttle reward , maybe a handfull of conditioner their better being trained to trap as yb,s,, then as old birds they should trap well, if theve plenty confidence in you,and well used to you, you will often find w/hood cocks or hens trap far faster than natural birds as they are very keen to get in to see their mates

says on the bag vic,,," johnston and jeff selected peanuts" "premium peanuts",,,, can only tell you whats written on the bag ,,,,, they never put the price on the bag, though,,, ;D ;D ;D

i think it was £11 odds also bought 20 kilos johnson and jeff selected p,nuts,,,,,,£30 ,,, nearly collapsed ;D ;D ;D

should be a great sale, some great names on the sales -list

paramyxo virus injection,,

some chemists can order it for you,, or if your over this way,, loanhead,,, can get it for you,,,

when on w/hood would normaly show the hens b4 the go to the race, then let them back to the hens after the race but sometimes just not quite as simple as this,, as, " ask me says ", some yearling cocks can go over the top by doing this,,, all birds have different temprements , some yearlings with a quiet nature can handle this ,,others will just lose form very quickly due to being far to excited, far to quickly,and take a lot out of themselves during transit,then loose form very quickly. as two year olds its often not neccessary to even show the hens ,just upturn their bowl and open their side of the nest box, as long as their hens are there for their return, as they should know the game by then, i feel that due to the different temperaments of each individual cocks ,, they can be treated in the best way that suits them,, ,,, but be very carefull of yearlings,, its a long programme
