OLDYELLOW

Happy birthday i hope you have a great day , pass hoover and scraper and oven gloves to Duncan for day im sure he'll come up with a picture using them all , he may just buy you some flowers , plain , self raising , wholemeal , bleached ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

ive housed sprinters and distance pigeons in same loft for years and in same season have won shortest race and longest race due to space confines , if you have the room and time then best to keep seperate , but i find the sprinters tend to drag the distance birds behind them and it was never a problem having them together

if you want your birds to trap quicker , then give them something to trap for and the best motivation i have found comes down to one seed and thats dari either red or white ( also called milo ) the folowing mix is a seed mix i have been using for years and it works and i have passed it on to a few people on here that have had bad trapping with great results , buy equal quantitys of the following Linseed , black rapeseed , hemp , canary seed , and dari use this mix during the racing season as a traping mix , out of season if flying birds out just used the dari , the dari tastes like sugar to the pigeons and they go mental for it , this will improve your trapping. With Mark Proctors permision i will copy his ims or he can tell you that it actualy does work.

there dietry needs arent those of a racing pigeon Micko , so dampen corn with a freshly squeeze citrus fruit and add brewers yeast will give them all the vitamins they need and essential amino acids , good grit and a mineral pickstone will keep young Jacks birds in top condition , and i loved the Indian fantails they have personalitys of there own

Forever young ~ Interactive ( is it your birthday chickadee if so happy birthday )

forever in blue jeans ~ Neil Diamond

the benifits would be the omega 3 oils and vitamin D which can be harmfull in large quantitys and not to be used when feeding ybs , be wiser geting Groundnut oil and just adding a drop to corn with some vitamised brewers yeast once a week there only indian fantails .

i had the chocolate mulemans chocolates were good breeder but only when ofspring were blues bars checks n pencils and the chocolate were good breeders but wouldnt race, spent a fortune on them and all were crap

that was exactly the point i was making , and nothing worse than pigeons holding corn

most bacteria / infections are spectrum specific and you need the right treatment to treat it or the treatment wont work , i have used amoxycillin and ended up at vets with a bird thats white blood cells were sky high , think his vet wants shooting

so basicaly you work from 4 pm to between 2 am - 4 am , im sure you could fit feeding twice a day into that time scale , wifes and girlfriends are also handy , but if wishing to feed once a day id stay clear of feeding a mix thats heavy with maize and safflower , until later on in the week

think you need to re read i because on one hand you agree and other you dont , however there are fanciers that do win out of turn and arent able to feed twice aday , but if you have the time it is better to feed twice aday , feeding once a day makes birds store fat after feeding there dropping will be fine then there dropings will lose consistancy , feeding twice aday makes the droppings consistant as arent relying on store energy as fat

cheers pigeon man 007 that solves the site issue , whats it like weather wise i.e fog and if anyones race from there what are the returns like?

or even better webcam in auction room so can see if biding of the wall against yourself , it does happen

Black Betty ~ Ram Jam

Betty Davis eyes ~ Kim Carnes

dont close your eye's ~ keith whitley

If members have flown from this race point has liberation been hampered by weather and what have your returns been like , and whats the access to the site like and how good a site is it ?

very good results

i personaly think the fairer way to do such an auction would to be list all birds photos online and use a laptop at the actual auction and enter bids via the laptop from the actual auction room

has everyone seen the birds been listed online for an open ofline auction ? this surely is illegal as the online winner doesnt win the bird its offered at open auction at the internet price , just inflating the price to sell . Well it is rip off britain , a fool and his money are easily parted.

and an American too boot

yup looks that way
