OLDYELLOW

not a one loft race its a yearling nom , which will be judged race point can be any over 500 mile , in my instance its 510 mile but its over 500 mile

yes you would select one ( or could be agreed one cock one hen per loft ) entry from your yearlings at beginning of racing to race over 500 miles and open to Pigeon Basic members only otherwise it would be too big a task to have someone Judge it , i have a few people in mind for the Job perhaps someone like M J Burden , there doesnt need to be any money involved but im sure if theres a prize then more may enter ? i think a Minimal amout such as £5 per bird max ( £10 if cock and hen ) just looking for suggestions and to see if enough intrest to continue it im happy to select a hen or both cock and hen pay my £10 in at beginning of season if need to replace due to hawk or losses then any other bird will cost same £5 to replace , once we can agree on a format ectra then we can put a final wording up on site

Just a thought of mine to run a 500 mile yearling challenge you have to select a yearlings ring number for the challenge , theres many one loft races and similar sprint races but heres one for the distance minded fancier and a near level platform as be racing a unknown quantity , so be a bit of fun with a bit of cash to be won so what do you think ? any thoughts ideas welcome

well theres many breeds to choose from , if was me then i would of gone to Blackpool and seen the birds been shown there are many types which arent so popular and be fewer of these birds and be easier winning there classes ectra just a thought

why not get some cutters or catolonain tumblers that out fly falcons as thats what the breeds bred for ?

pepperman Jansens never heard of these dark velvet birds but they were lovely to handle the VB X Kirkpatrick bred one red grizzle and one blue bar with bronze on top which has moulted out and is just a blue bar now , the grizzle was a casulty to the hawk been mainly white , so i've repaired the hen to a Leo Lukkasen Dark cock which flew Blois ( just over 400 miles to me ) so the colouring wont be a factor in this years pairing and hopefully i will remain hawk free this season .

snowing again here hope it doesnt lay

surely you just put ofsprings details in then add parents ?

just from feeding ybs nothing to worry about

the true spirit of the site is helping each other

no idea may have been lost when site updated however photobucket images stay as just an image code

lovely position Ted

going to send this hen to 510 mile this season Kirkpatrick cross Van Braune if all goes well

i've got mine still wrapped

i have ben using cinnamon since the ybs reared its head i had it for 2 years then nothing after i started using it with a few other things including root ginger

some were offending others so they were removed keep it nice

he's a mate called Kev at Thornaby hes on here if he cant help directly he may know someone who can

see Dibble

theres a box which the cock sits in the middle of the two hens you release one am with the cock and other pm with cock but never both at same time the box shown is a bit small for this purpose but build your own like a two sided widowhood box

have to agree , i gave my ybs clean water and cheap food no yb sickness

you was lucky my mother wouldnt waiste her money on them however i eventualy got a shed hunted wood ectra and like the building of lofts and envied pretty lofts but a knocked up shack was better than nowt
