I only started last year myself not easy but great when you get up and running . started with just youngsters no stock birds. what I had left after racing I bred from this year and bought some youngsters to make up a small team. my own loft is 16 x 6 , it has 3 section ,1. youngbirds 6 x 6 with 25 box perches 2. cocks / breeding 6 x 6 with 12 nest boxs 3. hens 4 x 6 with 12 v perches hope this helps a bit . best of luck

IRISH SOUTH ROAD FED . THURLES 12/04/14 496 / 10,369 1ST . J.MURPHY & SONS , GREENHILLS 1904.910 . THIS BIRD NOW HAS 2 X 1ST FEDS & 1 X 3RD OPEN... TOP FANCIER - EDDIE BYRNE DUBLIN NORTH EAST TOP CLUB - GREENHILLS

had a good experience this evening when training , a family came over and seemed to be shell shocked when I told them that the birds would get home before me . they thought the birds where great and the kids got photos with them then I let them release the birds from the crates . if everyone does there bit it can only help change the perception that some people have about these fantastic birds that we all love to race .

good to hear your home Andy , all the best

april 12th thurles co. Tipperary 80 miles , should be ready ... all going well

thanks for the birthday wishes , gettin on a bit now 33...

he is a figurita I got him about 6 weeks back , the plan is to use him as a dropper . seen a mate using one last season and it seems to work well so fingers crossed .

BRENNANS BULLET great character but I doubt he'll fly penzance ...

hope your well soon Andy . atb, Anto

Looks like ireland will be getting these massive pylons across the country , not only are they an eye sore , will they affect a pigeons homing ability ? They give off a magnetic field such is the power going through them is whats being said by the anti - campaign . Any thoughts?

i shall drop in to say hello

cold and damp in dublin

good morning paddy

cheers Andy , best of luck to you for 2014 . ill keep you posted let you know how I get on ....

Thanks for that andy , gives me something to work with. Our programme has changed this year the races i can go for are mallow 130 m, skibbereen 174 & barleycove 194 m after that its over the water which i wouldnt send a late bred to. First old bird season so its all new to me , hopefully i can get them ri ght healthwise and well trained and give them a good go at it. Thanks again , Anto

hello andy , thanks for the reply , i also have 4 pairs that where raced and done ok in the club that i will breed from plus im bringing in 18 youngsters so i dont need to make up numbers . the late breds where gifted by 2 good fanciers in my fed and are well bred , they got about a dozen tosses in all directions up to 10 miles or so . the first race for them will be mallow ,co. cork 130 miles all going well . going to give roundabout a try . any advice would be great cheers, anto

hello all , I have 12 late breds that I am planning to race in the 2nd half of the OB programme , they all got lightly trained . should I take young from them and race them or would it be best to just race and no breeding ? cheers , anto

I heard them been called dolly parton drinkers aswell :emoticon-0136-giggle:

hello all , ive seen an advert for this in the homing world , anyone on basics use it ? when and how often would you give it ? is it any good or a waste of money ? cheers , anto
