I avoid auctions just dont trust them, far better to see a price on the pen, I have seen all the anticks that go on in past years, with so called commision bids. and was told what to watch for by an auctioner.

my advice is see before you buy.

i would buy new if i was you.

spot on i never clean my drinkers during racing ob or ybs just rince them, replace them new each year, and dont treat for anything never seen yb sickness.

i would put them in a section on there own just leave a bowl in a corner on the floor, your yb section would do.

when i pair my birds i dont put the bowls in untill the fifth day then straw day after this way all eggs will be laid within 48 hours of each other if bowls are put in too soon some will build nests same day and within two days will start driving the hen before she is due to lay.

I got my kirkys from oldyellow 10 years ago and to me thay are brilliant never let me down, I have bought birds at blackpool in the past some good some bad now I only buy them from racing lofts, I only raced ybs last year 28 raced 14 birds won 20 cards between them not many could say 50% of there team scored.

there will be a stand selling kirkys i have bought from him before and thay have been good birds just cant think of the name but is there every year.

money talks. if the price is right there all for sale.

seeing my first bird in the distance heading for the loft then dropping like a stone and a good trap.

me and oldyellow will be at the stand at 12

I dont blame you thay dont deserve to have it back, im sure she will be happier with you,

happy birthday for yesterday and thankyou for looking after one of our featherd friends it has most likley gone home all it needed was rest and a little food, thanks.

a gray grizzle hen, hens tend to be a lot tamer than cocks, and yes it is a short faced tippler, whats on the green ring any nunbers or letters as this would help,

I agree with bigda should be no need to mark eggs just mark down in your stock book whos eggs feeders are sitting when yb are rung put them down to the origional pair.

I have dome drinkers got them off oldyellow and he is right thay dont freeze up.

same thing happend to me my rings were E one reported to me was P easy mistake when number given over the phone.

I dont mind chipping in but as said above might be better to cut prize money to cover costs, as some might not want to pay more.

have you got a waiting list if some dont pay up if so put me down for 2 please.

well i agree with you mate.

hi chris h welcome, are you a new starter are you flying obs or just ybs this season what area are you from.

very sad was a top flyer, R.I.P.

large or small eggs funny how ybs turn out normal size. also feeding layers pellets can increase egg size.

are you a grizzle or a blue bar
