    Racing

    9am for a short race, on a long distance it wont matter as thay will be fed in the baskets.
  7. I bought 6 Louella ebbony x aardens stock birds from the stock clearence sales, as ebbonys are black i expected dark cheqs or pieds, i got blues and blue cheqs thay in turn bred blues and shalies nothing else, i gave them all away very disapointed,
  8. scarface did rennes 662 miles to bob mc donald.
  9. bolton and williamson bought birds from bob mc donald in the 1980s these were dark pieds and w/fs off scarface one of bobs most consistant widowhood cocks out to 662 miles these were the originals.
  10. if you order 200ml mark i will go halves with you, as i think in the new year any vaccine will be hard to get hold off.
  11. think thats only to get you to use more, and re-order
  12. this bird will have stoped laying or filling its eggs by the time it is sold.
  13. for me the true aardens are dark cheq pieds and white flights no others, look at birds that the house of aardens advertise. these are the best not crossed.

    DARKNESS HOW

    I would still put them on dark if bred in dec or jan as if you dont when thay moult thay wont hold the filghts and come yb racing after 3 or 4 races thay will be on the last flights. the reason thay are not trained is one thay are moulting, two because you are changing there daylight hours the birds think its winter months and there homing ability would not be the same untill you take them off dark, also when taking off dark do it over one week from 9/5 then 6789 increase day light by one hour over the week
