leave the sputnik open only if there is no risk of anything getting into it other than the birds! If there is a risk of anything else being able to get in then leave it closed until you are there to call the birds in.

as soon as i could crawl into the loft, Parents have raced for 60 yrs and Grandparents raced for over 50 yrs.

if they are used to a morning feed, they will be waiting for there breakfast. When you go to the loft in the morning call them down and i'm sure they'll come dashing down off the roof. At least being up on the roof they are safe from cats etc.

i think she could have come to the end of her usefulness

some say lice only live on healthy pigeons!

sure they won't have gone far Paul. Leave you old birds out for a while and see if they round any up. Sure you'll get more back.

there are no rules regarding lice but if markers don't consider a bird to be healthy then they should reject it for the good of the other fanciers birds it will mix with in the crates.

if there cunny's then no! ;D ;D ;D and check he doesn't try and cover them with stamp ink!

certainly looks the part and at a guess rules the roost.

lol, does that mean he's done any good or bred anything good?

like the chequer cock on top of boxes pic 1

power ready for your ets! Birds are looking well.

it works chrisss, is the cable to hang yourself or the birds with?

I agree prob marrimans but would still ask why so cheap and how/where has it been stored. Last thing you want is contaminated food that may have become damp at some point or your cheap corn will turn into expensive vets bills!

well done Pete, ignore the abuse! ;D ;D ;D

Not sure Roger had the Borgmans but Terry Hudson certainly did!

you don't want them dropping flights, thats the reason for darkness!

correct but the 2 fanciers could be feeding differently, 1 including seeds/grains that will promote the moult but even different lofts put on the system at the same time may moult differently.

surely if the feed isn't right it won't aid the moult.

or to dark and is your feeding right?

are the others heading this way this week Chris?

if all else fails:- 00001 – 04000 US1 ROYAL PIGEON RACING ASSOCIATION Please report to RPRA, Reddings House, The Reddings, Nr Cheltenham, Glos GL51 6RN. Tel: 01452 713529

possibly looking for something but i would start controlling the food and start training getting them to come straight home and in and not left to go fielding.

Is Kwango an agent?

I though that Ward Bros, Alwyn Paddy etc raced the Van de Weyers and not the Karl Hermans!
