Plenty in Aylesbury for Mr Clarke to fall down and the local fanciers there wouldn't put up with him!

Why have you changed user name Lee Clarke? And what happened to the birds you have been given before?

12 widowhood cocks and 24 natural pairs

I used to have it but can't find it Paul, try Gail.

nice to hear 1 has made it but as Mick b said they may well have just not been upto the job! Bops will pick of weak or tail end birds in a lot of cases and the birds have prob become exhausted yesterday becoming easy targets.

hope you had a good en yesterday!

get the droppings tested just make sure there isn't an underlying problem and then if all ok, don't reduce the feed but lighten it and they will start to fly. If you feed them to heavy they will just sit around!

sound like they havn't been educated to drink in the basket.

careful Tom or he'll be wearing his sunday best pink suit today else! ;D ;D ;D

sound like the birds were sick when you had them. I would name your source to warn others!

a lot of south, not a little!

good start Paul!

latebreds are a waste of time and effort unless you have a lot of patience and are prepared to wait until the weather warms up!

well done

They will perch wherever they feel safest! If for some reason they feel safer ontop of the door runners either something has disturbed them of they are just not comfortable on your perches.

We applied 5 times and got turned down each time saying no funds available and sec was told over the phone by awards for all no more grants will be give to pigeon clubs for ets! Its a p take when some clubs have had multiple awards and one club we know of had a grant for ets and hasn't raced a bird yet and we are in a regeneration area!

Good point, always good to get a couple of training tosses with other birds to help teach them to break and also when you've only got a small team the shock to them of being thrown out of a crate with a few hundred others mustn't help them!

what time were they up? Latebreds are better left until May when weather is warmer!

follow the instructions! If anything is suitable for water and food it will give the correct dosage for both!

good luck everybody, another week for us yet.

birds looking well Alan, can't see many Black Bombers there though!

nice pic! Has she started collecting eggs yet?

can only make a set of 3 to fit std widowhood fronts from an 8x4 sheet

4 south and 3 south east

Did I disscredit or say anything about the bird? No! Back in your box!
