OLDYELLOW

whats the female look like

are they ready fer eating now

just give your name address and that you wish to apply to fly with them for the forth coming season and wish all members a good 2010 season and add your loft number if you already have one , club secs are usualy quite approachable give him a ring

could buy some white plastic cladding then no painting and wipe clean no fumes and birds not over disturbed

Locking two birds in with ybs or eggs could be fatal as they'll get distressed and may trample ybs or smash the eggs

i dont paint my loft havent painted any of mine due to it flaking off , my Uncle used to use just ordinary white wash , emulsion paint drys pretty quick

id wait till ybs weaned and birds are out of loft on a race day or training and paint then

not if got the section well ventilated and it drys fast :-/ but best to have birds out of harms way imo, isnt massonary paint like plastic and could peel ? :-/

might be a very long post or way back and dont wish to be disturbed ? who knows its there to use but cant see much point in using it myself

that all depends on paint your using , but surely this is a job you need to do when weather is better and will dry out quicker ? dont want paint on birds feathers nor the fumes :-/

some might be hiding or been busy doing other things such as reading old posts

im not sure a friend bought some off him when he started back up

he still sells birds

Old club i was in checked all birds via vaccination record and no other birds could be added to it so ownership was checked and rightly so there can be a error in not transfering from a friend and racing but to race someone elses bird and pass it off as your own is totaly wrong , then have the audacity to put if for an award is nothing short of fraud , but without knowing the full details from both sides its hard to make any judgements on hear say

obvious its serious when bird is emaciated and it dies http://www.chevita.com/en/pigeons/treatment-plan/parasites-worminfestation.php older fanciers might rember using daz ( blue washing powder ) and adding dropping and water and shaking in a glass bottle as you could detect the worms , however regular screening and good management will help keep on top of this , if birds forage on soil / grass they will pick up worms other contamination will be via the race basket

yes untill you have a serious infestation

first thread i've been able to open :-/

which birds are you refering to ?
