my other hobbie is pigeon racing lol god aint got time fer out else cant have dogs as bairns alergic

well you need to find a patern within your shifts to give you a set routeen this will create less stress for the birds and if wanting to race hens if can get them trained 2 or 3 times a week , i think you'l be ok most fanciers that race the hens say they need more work , was first year flying hens as yearlings to 360 miles 1 went to 414 mile and 524 mile this year as in past my cocks were always better and were last year but be racing yearling hens again next year and work them a bit more

i would think that would be nigh on impossible cocks hens and ybs to let out , unless you were perminant nights :-/ or you have a partner to assist

looks like you either need to get your misses involved or get a partner for mornings

what are your shift times ?

try perminant nights great for birds

Heres to a happy christmas to you all i hope the new year brings alot of good luck and good fortune , wont be long before i get the festive cheers out merry christmas

i only had a few training tosses last season to freshen them up a bit otherwise no real need to train after first race jmo

stock are birds that you breed from hopefully there retired racers that have won or from good breeding , or birds bought to breed from which could be too expensive to race

5 in 1 treatment

live natural yoghurt in water for 3 days , aviform Ultimate , plenty of barley and wheat for first 3 to 4 days then i reduce this and feed plenty of maples and green peas and a egg cup of linseed everyday

that be what they've paid themselves bonuses with fer christmas by not buying the grit

complain to your local mp i wouldnt mind but the gritter drivers get paid to be on stand by so basicaly your paying to have them do sod all

ill send the bill lol

easier said than done if on allotment with frozen water pipes ectra

think young zimmy puts a drop of whisky in his but im not waisting mine

i add a bit of salt and some sugar and cider vinegar it keeps it from freezing completely the ping pong ball will keep moving on the surface mainly by water been disturbed and air passing by it and certainly dont put antifreeze in water because it would kill the birds
