So basically .*expletive removed* them we will clean them out theyl only be a few in the sky's by that point. Can't belive what I'm actually reading after the chaos that's been caused in north east in recent weeks with dodgie liberations.

All birds libbed at Berwick this morning all cleared well to the north with the wind up there backside. Hopefuly be home by now.

Got 3 Lanarkshire birds in our loft (consett) lots of birds knocking about last 2 weeks. Have another scottish bird hanging around loft SU A 13 is this local to Lanarkshire area? Two were well down when they first came in had them in widowhood hen box on young bird corn and beans nearly back to full body after 4 days hopefully when they get home there half way there to been ready to race again.

Cheers mate these they weren't from today as been in few days bar one who won't come in and the one who came in this morning was at 8am

I've got 2 in if someone could confirm transporters are there Friday i will take them up first thing. Cheers

Came in Monday flown out fed and watered all week and built back up ready to go. Tried ringing mobile number on ring to no avail. Will release first decent day we get as it's been stinking down here all week. Consett

Anyone have any details? Lots of views.

Blue cock was hungry when it dropped in but in good condition. Came in last week on morning I was going to sweden so dint get chance to post up on here as I was going to airport from lofts

Got the birds onto transporter, hopefully home safe and sound. Seen the birds from lib come over our loft were really going for it right up in a clear blue sky.

CONSETT=

Race on?

No probe mate will get it up there, any idea what times limbs are due to start? Greg

All three dropped in yesterday and today loads of strays about. Two of them are flown out blue hen is a darkness bird should be ok. Putting a yearling on transporter on Saturday for a lad up Stirling. If any of theses birds Feds are down or someone willing to get them when there back up could get them a little closer to home.

Well done Scott not been the best start to ybs for a lot of people. 1st race was a killer for us.

Sounds like only one thing, you've done the right thing. Just keep an eye on the rest. I'm sure someone more in the know will beable to help more. I do believe the vaccination is preventative and lowers the risk but doesn't make birds immune.

Blue hen has phone number on but can't make ou digits code is for Scotland

I've got 3 fantails hens in with young birds so there bought up with them. If anything the fantails take a battering off the yb's. The ybs often make a be line to have a bit dig at them. I wouldn't let them out today Scott with the fog we've got. Just feed em barley till first couple go fo a drink and take corn away. Are you shaking tin and calling at them when there feeding so they know when that tin shakes its feeding time?

Keep the feed light Scott as has been said get pleanty barley in there. Best way to feed to keep it simple for now 50% barley 50% yb mix fill feeder up get them in and watch them eat soon as 2 birds go to drinker take food off them. Another thing feeding a lot of barley you can trap with seed or peanuts as the birds love it so they will be even more eager to trap. It's like having porridge every meal, when your mam shouts you in for tea your not to fussed, but when she's got the chocolate cake out and shouts your there in a flash P.s your not flagging them are you? And do you have a flapper ?

Seen both batches there was a huge batch came over about 2:30 and they were going this way and that as if they couldn't make there minds up which way to hed. They were herding north but zig zagging a lot and would turn south trying to swallow up any other birds passing through. Weare about 2 miles north of consett.

Have all organisations canceled Saturday race for a Sunday or some sill going for a Saturday lib? Fancy a look as I think there's 3 Feds there.

Waiting another week had them away already but it's bitter out there didn't even want to loft fly today so in they came. Next week temps jump massively and nice southerly winds, why rush the season is long and first week this weekend is a 80miler only a training toss really, not risking channel team for a baby race in these conditions.
