have noticed Walter Boswell 59 has been in the sport a good while , i like some of his posts and they have interested me. so i want to put a question to Wattie about the health of birds in the basket ,something he commented on in another thread. looking forward to the answers and guidance . thanks in advance pal .

five weeks

brought up in different times ,they have no respect for others ,and no thought for there actions.

had a few setbacks ,after floating stock eggs under yearling racers ,with a few not hatching ,chilled ,and a broken egg .oh well , those that have hatched are good and strong ,a few just starting to climb out the nestbowl , from around 16 ,6 to go away to others this weekend .2nd round stock all sitting around 7-10 days now .looking to wean a few end of the week /weekend .

now thats something i have done , a few years back .the best young hens if only 2 or 3 were kept in the yb section and flown out all season .after the stock had finished rearing ,stock hens away for around a week.the young hens were put into the stock section ,once laid were flown out again and trapped into a sputnik on the stock loft avairy .out all day with the youngsters . only light training ,and were sent to the channel races ,and done reasonably well .

dull , damp and miserable (just like the weather)

morning folk,s

well done Joe B

great trophies , and great results , well done

good post ,and some very good points Owen ,but asking "pigeon fanciers" to accept & make changes ???? like trying to catch steam in a mesh bucket

a big welcome to Basics Al ,very best of luck for the coming season ,oh and a happy St Patricks day (whats left of it)

agree with this post

its getting sorted pal , ive dragged my heels a bit ,didnt want to get the wrong one ,and had a "bag full" of questions ,but the link you sent me originally is the one i will be going for .cheers Buster

i dont ,but did read a great article by Alun Jones (Redstar lofts) flew them well on this system .it was in the B.H.W. towards the end of last year .

it can be a real shock Alan , hope he doesnt suffer too much .

happy birthday

ground very damp ,grey skies ,looks like rain on the way

happy St Patricks day all

morning folk,s

have well and truly celebrated todays win time for bed now

my dear Wife was very annoyed at the performance put up by Scotland today , after enjoying the earlier passionate performance of Wales

and still doing well i hope

so much passion ,loved the game , every minute of it .not many Welsh flags flying in Scotland today , but ours had a jolly good waving here

both pionts are very encouraging
