OLDYELLOW

trap your birds to a galley pot with a small amount of white dari no more than a teaspoon full in there boxes soon as that trap / door is open they know its there then feed them hopefully your trapping will improve , and as phil says measure there feed out on some scales and feed in a empty pickstone pot in middle of floor , i like to see my birds compete for there feed once stopped feeding remove food never leave food in loft unless rearing but if rearing you wont have as much control , all the best Regards Mark

mine throws himself up with ease

sounds like your under feeding slightly , i wouldnt be in a rush to get them flying out of there skins just yet 20 to 40 minutes is good its still cold

Welcome to Pigeon Basics we hope you enjoy the site

put a bob wire gate on back of trap have same problem

kirkys in the know with maps im sure town hall should have them

that was the intension of the original petion run in the bhw sadly pigeon fanciers couldnt be bothered which is a sad state olf afairs as if you havent suffered a bop attack yet you certainly will very soon , how many would turn up be lucky to get a handfull

i agree that some birds improve as they get older but they would have shown there capabilitys by been flown and still there to live another day had two distance cocks last year as yearlings ok they homed , but they will have that experience as two year olds and will be allowed to mature if dont perform this year i certainly wont be giving them a third year , most of my best birds have shown themselves as yearlings and greatly improved as 2 year olds

white dari on return from exercise each day they'll trap like bullets

it all depends on yer birds and your race programme and where you live idealy i like distance yearlings to go to 400 miles 2 year olds to 500 3 years old 600+

any bird should of shown it potential by time there a yearling , as a 2 year old there at there best 3 year olds are ideal for the longer races jmo

could try this method lol http://newslite.tv/2009/02/03/man-tried-to-smuggle-pigeons-i.html

Mines same To win the long un 3rd last year with a yearling on the day 524 miles be nice to see him improve with age

if run out of toilet paper i can get yer bum on it lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

thats my guess great advice also add yoghurt to water does them world of good

aye your right was on telly a few weeks ago that the price had come down on the barrel but not at the pump , were been held to randsom by the oil companys cos they know our economys run on it and cant survive without it , time they invented good electric cars and kicked the oil companys into touch

id rather use fresh garlic myself but wouldnt hurt putting a bit of garlic oil on the corn

i was joking nothing to hide

[edit] Nutritional supplement Food-grade flaxseed oil is cold-pressed, obtained without solvent extraction, and marketed as edible flaxseed oil. Fresh, refrigerated and unprocessed, linseed oil is used as a nutritional supplement. It contains the highest level of omega-3 fatty acids among vegetable oils[3], especially alpha-linolenic acid, which may be beneficial for reducing inflammation leading to atherosclerosis,[4] preventing heart disease and arrhythmia,[5] and is required for normal infant development.[6] However, recent well-controlled placebo studies suggest that regular consumption of flaxseed oil may not reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, or cancer any greater than placebo.[7] Regular flaxseed oil contains between 52 and 63% alpha linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3). Plant breeders have developed flaxseed with higher alpha linoleic acid content (70%) and very low alpha linolenic acid content (< 3%).[8] The USFDA granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status for high alpha linolenic flaxseed oil.[9] Although flax seeds themselves contain lignans, a class of phytoestrogens considered to have antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties,[10][11][12] the extracted linseed oil does not contain the lignans found in flax seed,[10] and therefore does not have the same antioxidant properties. In fact, flax seed oil is easily oxidized, and rapidly becomes rancid with an unpleasant odor unless refrigerated. Even when kept under cool conditions it has a shelf life of only a few weeks.[13][14] Oil with an unpleasant or rancid odour should be discarded. Rancid oils contribute to the formation of free radicals and may be carcinogenic.[15][16][17] Oxidation of flax seed oil is major commercial concern, and antioxidants may be added to prevent rancidification.[18] May have adverse effect due to its content of neurotoxic cyanogen glycosides and immuno-suppressive cyclic nonapeptides.[19]

hi Owen Why linseed oil its only any good for strengthing wood oilseeds are better as seeds, linseed looses its qualities when made into an oil
