would like to thank Delboy "Mr Derek Hay" for agreeing to do a Question & Answer session for me. 1, when did you first have pigeons ? were you introduced to them by family or ? what age were you ?. when did you "really learn" to fly them and what changed at that point when the penny dropped and you new what you were doing ? 2, how happy are you with your loft ? is it large enough , do you have many sections ? is it enclosed or open , what changes would you like to make ? 3, what families or strains have you kept , and are they the same now ? where would you consider looking to improve your stock ? 4, Oldbirds ,do you have a set plan before the season starts ,regarding which races they go to, how often do you train or send before a National ? do you think resting is as important issue ? what distance would you suits you best ? do you change the feeding as the season progress, if so how ? 5 , systems , do you adhere to any systems ? Natural or ? have you developed your system to suit you ,if so , how does it differ from the norm ? 6 , youngbirds ,natural , darkness or early bred ,whats your choice and why ? how much work do you expect of your youngsters both training and racing ? 7, do or would you consider sending yearlings to the longest races ? if so what do you look for within them ?? 8, general, you've had some great performances and races .how would you advise a novice to start to achieve somewhere near your level ? 9, could you tell me more about "spider" your old favourite , was he bred by you ? if so how did you choose the breeding that made him ? do you think you will ever find another to take his place ? would again like to thank Del for taking the time to answer some questions .hope ive not missed anything ?
