lol did they have wooden handles by any chance joe

good luck with it george

yip one leg sticks straight out like a hand signal ive tried a few times to cure it by tying ribbon or string on to both legs to see if it would set straight but it never worked as peter said theres no cure because they nearly always splay from the hip joint better to dispose of it brian and let them go back to nest

id lift the hen on to the nest at night patty it will save her fretting if she cant get to them take her back off in the morning and let the cock take over jmo

thought you said you had been training george

both true john also the rspb has been breeding them for years in a wooded area between hamilton and larkhall in where jimmy hamilton had his farm was told this by the man who owned the land major something or other he told me he had given them permission to do this when i was looking for a bit of ground to put a loft on a while back they also breed buzzards there

not for me stevie like them to get a wee sharpener after being idle all year just to get the homing head on i know what im like when doing nothing for weeks then going out to do a shift and if they went down id be blaming myself but everyone to there own

thanks p thought he had fell out with me lol

must say its never bothered me that its cold as long as not going to far in the past few years been training latebreds november december january with ice and an odd time snow on the ground with no problems with my loft open halfway up there used to the cold steven no molly codling here i need to do my work in cold or rain they need to do the same but thats just the yearling like dell my old bird team will not start till 3rd or 4th race with only 3or4 tosses but they will get open bowl most of the day till then

could be right peter

had two short ones with some latebreds steven but birds been flying one to two hours everyday all winter might just wait on the training van starting for safety just paired the old birds last weekend and the yearlings are still not paired see if i can get a wee jig out them in the early races before i have to pair them to get room for youngbirds can only try m8

me to wiley not giving the birds a chance if there just out after being locked up all winter cold or not if there not fit they go down

dont see why not brian maybe just a wee leg twist its easy dont ps also check the ring has not went up over the elbow or joint

box is full m8

maybe hurt it while putting on the ring brian does not take much m8

thats a sore one m8 keep the chin up

not for intestinal conditioning just dont want the man to spend money on something thats not needed

dont waste your money chris as john watters said good food minrals grit and clean watter plenty of training is all thats needed m8

id just switch the youngsters around for an hour or two each day till the feeders have soft feeding

happy birthday pal

would not expect them to have soft feeding for them sue three days out is the max for me a day or two more if the feeders are sitting over due if you can switch them about the nests for a few days to get a feed you may save some

as long as its dry everything works chris its all about what makes it easy for yourself m8

happy birthday jimmy

your wellcome to come see me m8

get there names on so we can all see who they are
