pigeon hut

also had a young bird with a shut eye thought it had been pecked or got some think in it.a couple of pigeon men said it was canker and i thought they were joking with me.but they said if a yellow cheese looking thing came out from under the eye lid it is canker and it was like that when i opened the eye lids.we live and learn treated for canker and it cleared up.

you may be right about it not being a cheap sport.it will end up a rich man's game which would be bad as it started as a ordinary man's sport.the older men in the clubs around here kept my cost of starting up down by giving me stock birds and things.which i am very grateful for with the price of buying pigeons off some studs to get started.as they say its the only way to get younger people into the sport by helping them its how they got started with the help of others.

hi every one i am a new starter with pigeons not joined a club as yet.just getting started with huts and birds ready for next year.but have seen and heard a lot about the price of getting pigeons back that have been found up and down the country being about 30 pounds on woulds for each bird.if you have four reported thats a lot out of a working mans wages.who's got a family to support.so understand why lads haved packed up with the cost of corn,petrol for training them before racing.it must put a lot of young people off joining a pigeon club.i have had pigeons come in my loft and phone the owners up about them and was asked to feed and water them and release them which i did some got home and not heard about others would this not be easier to do this.instead of paying 30 pounds a bird.just my way of thinking as i say lads have packed up because of it and lads not joining a club because of it.

hi every one iam thinking of buying birds from spencroftlofts and would like to know if any one as any and what results they have had if so.the bred is kirkpatricks.

just to see if any one knows of any one selling late breds in cumbria

have tryed letting one out but it still disappears for a day.then when i get it in i let the other out and it does the same.i have even let my others out at the same time to try keeping them about.but they just disappear for a day pulling out whats left of my hair trying to work out wot to do now.

have tryed keeping them in for two weeks and letting them out hungry but it still as not worked.thats why its got me beat they go out hungry and still go for a day.then come back even more hungry as they do not stop eating at 1oz more like 2 or more.

have let them out with no food but they still disapper for 24 hrs its got me beat

what if they pair up with some of my other pigeons will they stay with they mates or keep disappering to who knows were.

iam a new starter who as a couple of young pigeons (same nest) who i trained to stay at my hut,they flew around the hut for weeks no problem of getting them back in.then in the last couple of weeks they take off for 24 hrs do not know were they go.but come back the next day and do the same thing when let out again.as any one else experienced the same thing and do you keep them in all the time now in case they do not come back one day.
