i mean some are so good its hard to tell there crossed steven

good guy jamie my heart went out to the man lets hope its good news for you pal

i afraid i must agree with alan and andrew on this one and even though you can get caught out with the the odd dipped one ive been horrified at at some good racing mens picking of birds that stood out a mile as show race crosses but im not blaming the guys that put them in its the racing judges picking them i cant get my head round and to make matters worse its experienced fanciers that are picking them no dout we can all be conned by one as that is why they cross them to catch out the judges but when its sticking out as a dipped bird theres no excuse imo so why would any racing man pick them in front of a racing pigeon

good photos seona the wee mans getting big bet he is a handfull now

no still sitting in the back garden charlie the guy only wanted one set two sets would not fit his section only spent an hour at show bought some t shirts and a new loft coat did not see you m8

sorry we missed you andy did not stay long jim still has flu

2years old made by red star 6inch deep cost me 85 pounds looking for 25 pounds pm if interested

jim and i leaving at 11 oclock to head up for a wee look

i have both in front of them 24 7 if they want it they take it but fined the black stuff a must when rearing youngsters

good night for me thanks to the judges well done john and davie and i won the raffle to also well done to ian lindsay and all who won tickets great wee show and good company jim could not make it this week has a bad flu or cold so gave me a wee chance

ah just seen the photo of your loft and think the problem is as i thought not enough over hang and loft sloping to the front the water runs off and is blown into the loft still take some planks off the front at each side of your vents or cut a four inch gap and do as tommy says angle some perspex right across the front this should solve the damp problem and still allow good air flow ps jims loft has same shape roof and had same problem till we put perspex at angle right across the full lenth of the loft problem solved

well done to you for having the guts to come on and ask for help hopefully the guys have given you some ideas of how to cure the problem steven dont be afraid to ask we all need help sometime and none of us are experts we are all still learning with pigeons m8 im sure you will get it sorted and be up with the winners

we can only guess when we cant see them pat but may give the man food for thought m8

sick bassas

id work around your vents or do away with them incase the rain is being blown in there your training looks fine m8 and if there flying at home also it should not be a fitness problem and if your birds are not getting respitory infection from the damp floor that only leaves to much food or the birds are not good enough you seem to be doing your bit as far as i can see buster try giving them a course of tylan next year about ten days before racing starts if its respitory that will clear it up if not id be looking at the birds pal its hard to tell without seeing the loft or the birds but thats the road id be going down but id be worried if my floor was wet all the time somethings not right surely the rain must be blowing in or you have a leak does your loft slope to the front or back could it be rain running off the roof and the wind blowing it in the loft can you move or turn the loft or jack it up another foot so more air underneath but you have to get it sorted somehow dampness kills form to be sure and if its not that get the black cap on but your deff over feeding imo hope you can sort it out m8 good luck with it

not saying its the be all and end all guys just common sence but food for thought before vaccination started there was no such thing as youngbird sickness so its got to be something we are giving them that spreads to others jmo

well done andy and davie good to see the workers getting there turn

first the wet floor if rain is not blowing in and causing the problem id remove one plank the full lenth of the front of the loft about 10 to 12 inch from the floor fit small gage wire and replace the plank at an angle to keep the rain out so you have a steady air flow across the floor blowing up the wall and out the back and roof you could also try a few bags of spill dry or similar and spread it under the loft incase the dampness is coming from below the floor and is being drawn up into the floor two cut back the feeding fat birds dont win and do not want to fly give them a wee pick before you let them out if you wish then there main feed when they come in or later there should be no feed left in trays unless feeding youngsters the birds should always be looking for food imo make them eat what you want not what they want like kids they will always choose the sweets to eat first and waste the rest so you must control the feed three you have not spoke of how much training you do if your birds are not flying two hours a day from a least six weeks before and during racing you have to get them down the road training 20 to 30 miles a day three days a week or have 20 tosses before the first race from the direction you want them to come three watch your pigeons and motivate them by giving them what they want then taking them away from it whether it be a mate a box eggs or youngster find what each bird races best to and play on it but all this will mean nothing if the birds are fat unfit and unhealthy jmo for what its worth good luck with it and keep trying your win will come if you do your bit no one said it was easy atb

happy birthday old pal

cant see it doing any good now we have told them we are coming to bomb them unless there half wits they wont be there we need to follow up with ground troops to wipe them out and the snp has lost my vote after reading there outlook shut your eyes and it will go away and agree we must get them out our country first not enough condemnation from there country men over here for my liking and if one member of a family is found to be supporting these murders in anyway they and there full family should be shipped back to where they came from imo
