Blimey that's cold Been lucky here only two days of iced drinkers so far

Credit to you Lindsay I love to see photos like these

That's a flash un mate

They didn't have Mutine in when I went they had traditional moulting but I though I may as welll use Souths and save £3 a bag I bred onn Souths and farm beans and used there dupurative and barley all year so it's decent corn in my view

Im feeding pretty much the same as last year any fanciers feeding different to before ? Using south feeds moulting instead of VL though 4 parts moulting 1 part dupurative 1 part barley 1/2 part seed Hanfull hormoform Naturaline in the water 3 days Garlic oil on the grub 2 days wheatgerm oil 2 days dried with yeast and provite this year I put a ounce down in the morning and feed to they leave barley at night which isn't much as they normally still have a bit of food in the tray mid afternoon I know some good fanciers just moult out on dupurative , barley and a bit if seed there birds always moult great , I will have the courage to try it one year

I had more than ever 41 weaned into two sections instead of 35 I lost 9 off the loft one Sunday out of the blue they had done 25 mins flying around the village then the team of 25 went didn't see a pigeon for 3 hours Another went later when roaming a week so so later I trained 17/18 times including 4 at 28 miles I Lost 2 training Anyway I had 28 to race All that was left After the first race I went training in the week had two with busted wings return home and 2 never returned I guess wires . That left me 24 to race I lost 2 ,culled 1 flew 6 races 15 birds to 6 races and 6 later May bred babies to 5 races and won 4 club races 2 fed races no darkness just on the normal natural system

Stunning photos

My youngsters moulted there primary flight quicker this year they are non darkness but I noticed the 2 nd round are chucking a fair number The racers as normal chucked the first flight last week and this

Do you do that every year Alex

How's everyone going with ybs , I got my first short one out of the way Tuesday , had rain and heavy cloud since let's hop next week is better I only have 22 so can't afford to risk things How many tosses have others had ?

Thanks mate She won as a baby last year and was 1st club week before last , her nest mate was 2nd fed Saturday Sire is a lambrecht x de meyer Dam is a frans zwol

Very kind guys All 3 have won this year To be honest I wasn't going to race them but due to lack of work and having more time at home due to the viruis and a prompt to try them from Wiley I found time to race them , and they come well on the harder head wind days that we have had on the north rd I will be trying a few more than I raced this year next season

A consistent hen this season

Photo 2 hens that have been decent for me this year

Yes he is a good pigeon had two wins this year Just wondered why one pigeon moulted different to the other 15 cocks , rather avoid it happening again

Any ideas why the feathers on the bars of this cock moulted funny , he didn't go out from mid September was in the loft no treatment given during the moult he moulted from yearling to a two year old with these feathers just around the bars area I have tried to show them on the photos

Dark grey sky light rain north of London Not nice at all
