OLDYELLOW

or a ferry handy

id recon mine should do 726 miles after that i think they would need a miracle

could be a few people lol but werent my grandma or great grandma and if i took it , it would of just been the loft in the picture ;D ;D ;D ;D

you'l certainly have a task there , ill answer you in 4 years time

that was the replacement for the doweled loft and was perfectly functional 2 sections old and young birds , landing board 3/4 of way up plenty of air no stale air or respirity problems them days and was as dry as out

its good to gauge the correct feeding once they start leaving the barley they have had enough food ( feeding by hand ) , im not a great lover of barley with ybs i'd rather use wheat

id give them 10% of there feed in barley but others may differ in opinion

it all depends on what your doing with the birds at the time to what percentage you use

topsecret hes on here as muttley1 i believe

old stock in the front is my grandma , she ruined a good photo lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Heres a photo of my second loft it had no birds in at the time and was listing due to old age , this was the replacement for the dowl fronted loft , unfortunately cant find the picture at the moment but one does exist and ill put in on when i can locate it

yup 38 votes so far

dint see no hawk strike , was that bird on an elastic band went three stills then back ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

ill pop up next fornight Billy

well done keep up the good work how about taking a few pictures of this bird so we can see it

be loads of skips missing there lights now ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

nice birds there

there more likely to sell with a few pictures and perhaps Auction them off ? i know you would pay far more for directs

good to see you back on Billy you must be feeling better

was it both cocks and hens or just the hens ?

cheers Albear i feel better to have 20 involved at 450 plus miles than 5 involved at 500+ miles , although yearling arent fully mature which im sure all distance fanciers worth there salt will know , it will come down mainly to managent and been able to condition for the intended race making it more intresting as racing a unknown quantity hence yearling challenge

surely better to have 20 people in at 450 mile plus than 5 in at 500 mile the poll has been started and will run for 7 days

those that are intrested please vote then the majority vote will be carried forward , rember this is a bit of fun and surely will create a few good posts pictures and discussions on the way

i also agree with you but theres thos who will be flying 560 miles that may be better flying a shorter race in the high 400's

id agree with ypres for you
