bah humbug, thats some "whinge" there Roland . please send your contribution to Pigeonbasics

good luck for the future Mathew

moult going well for the majority . some late breds looking a little "tatty" . sexes wont be split until the clocks go back, due to the fact most old birds are being broken to this loft . out daily unless fog or mist and heavy rain. its a joy to see them flying . getting a pinch of seed daily, vanroebays best all round daily, when temp above 10 degrees theyll also have a good measure of wheat (keep the cost down)

only contact i have listed for NE rung doos Robbie .

3 dogs here , a staffie, a frenchie , and a jack russel. around 80 pigeons . a few quail, around 60 laying hens . cream leg-bars , light sussex and silver laced wyandottes only around 4 pairs of each of the fancy breeds which are kept seperate . all other hens range freely over 5 acres , superb tasting eggs too.

what a great looking loft .

shame , 1 of only 2 County Durham fanciers i knew who "would" help folk out.

site member Mac 1 is a really helpful man , yet , un-sure if he,s been on since the changes .

very nice Ally

well done all

lost a load of detail trying to do this one !!. oh well , sure youll get the gist of the story.

i had 3 pairs of race birds locked up in the stock loft after moving 2 years ago . wishing to reduce "prisoners" I thought i will try & break them ! all 3 years old , will it work ? they had the last 3 or 4 flights cut on one wing. (not yet moulted out) . walked a so five "older birds" to join the team again. i also had a 5 year old cock , raced at the old address, could i break him too ? had him in a cage on the grass for a week . he was also "cut down" but just the 2 last remaining flights. tried him out yesterday , and he took to my woodpile , which is nearly 6 foot tall , and near the loft. looking around for 10 minutes or so, other birds were flying around. next time i looked , no sign of him ? he wasnt here when they were called in around 4pm , well i thought , another gone . maybe too much to ask of a 5 year old. almost back in the house ,,,, and he came back ,,, and ,,, flew around , and around for over an hour and a half . so he done a 70 mile round trip back to the old place, then flew for and 1 & 1/2 . just wish i had tried to break them when i moved down .

still great to see

great to see Bill
