skies looking dark here again!

part timers! ;D

yep, fold partition round and put a few nest bowls in!

like these

where the section between 2 perches fold around to make 1 bigger box

pepo boxes for motivation.

only takes 1 rogue to upset a compartment, break others eggs etc etc

George Busschaert, UK?

Glad they got you working Ray! Its a nice atmosphere there although will prob be moving to a better venue.

going to be close all the way!

what times it on and is there anywhere to see it if you havn't got sky sport?

another Buschaert?

i'd have the dark pied just over half way down!

birds with all types of feather can win if conditioned/prepared correctly and condition will show on the feathers but those with sack type feathering will absorb rain moisture quicker than those with silky feather where the rain and moisture will run off. This is why most good distance winning birds will have silky feathering to cope with changeing conditions on the way home.

2 types of feathering, silk and sack! Silk will expel the water beter and sack will soak it up. Watch a mixed team of birds bath if you can't feel the difference, those with silk will come out of the bath nearly dry those with sack will look wet and have soaked up the water. Feeding or giving oil etc will not change the birds type of feathering!

with my luck the only one i'll get to will be M&S under duress!

contact Graeham Giddings at the NPA he will know of club sec or keepers in your area

problem is they don't get transfered and the ring seller is responsible for the return of whatever the ring has been used on!

Its what forums are all about, shareing experience but also always being willing to learn! Some do think they know it all but usualy know nothing!

best of how many sets?

a couple of days each way won't hurt.

waste of about £40!

there are far to few specialist vets arround, maybe the RPRA should fund a few students through vet school to specialise in pigeon desease's!

Wife rescued a rabbit and took it to the vet without my knowledge, when she got back she told me what she'd done, I laughed and said, let me guess they've given you some baytril! Yes was the answer, I told her i'd give the rabbit 3 days, it made 2 1/2!
