There are some good shows worth attending Chris. The Midland Show Racer Society will be holdin is open show on either 18th or 19th December and i'm sure would welcome a stand to attract more locals.

Its clearly not far away and will prob come in with the others if you let them out again today, but as has been said, little food for it then when they go out tomorrow and you call them in he'll be 1st.

got to make saveings somewhere

no eggs on Derby cam!

how long have they been paired?

don't they have a problem mateing due to the tails, think i read somewhere about cutting tails.

It depends on the owner, I asume the union send notification to the owner and they send you a card or arrange for return. If its been a long time report the bird again to the union telling them you have received no contact and they will send you the card.

i only get effected after a major clean in the hot weather, wheeze a bit.

The blood tests that we conduct give the level of circulating antibody to pigeon protein. This indicates the fanciers sensitivity to the birds in mcg/ml. 0 to 5: No sensitisation Any symptoms are unrelated to pigeon lung. 6 to 20: Mild At this level, some people can develop mild symptoms. It is important to use a mask if there are chest difficulties, particularly when cleaning out the loft. This will usually control any pigeon lung problems. 21 to 50: Moderate At this level of antibody, symptoms of pigeon lung often occur. They can be mild or moderate in severity and it is advisable to wear a mask when with the pigeons and always when cleaning out. 51 to 100: High Symptoms of pigeon lung usually occur and can be severe. It is most important to take proper precautions when with the pigeons. Mask, cap and coat should used routinely and the level of contact with the birds should be reduced. 0ver 100: Very high Most people at this level, have problems with pigeon lung. A mask is mandatory and a cap with coat should also be routine. Contact with birds must also be reduced. If symptoms are present, drug treatment might also be needed to control the problem.

its a shame it doesn't tell you what the scale is or means.

mine was 14 (low sensitisation to pigeons)

Did anybody else have blood taken at Blackpool and what were your results?

d&t lofts or try his side kick badgeman!

Advert in bhw a few weeks ago selling the birds that survived the poor conditions they were kept in at Blackpool.

very fast!

you having a senior moment Bill! ;D ;D ;D

very good mixes, always clean.

Well done John, good result.

looks good. Bakes you are very good with your montages but they would be 100% better if you learnt to position, stand, photograph the birds.
