  2. SORRY ITS THE A19 NOT A1 YOU CAN TAKE THE A 170 FROM THIRSK , IT MAY LOOK THE SHORTER ROUTE FOR YOU NOW I HAVE LOOKED AT THE MAP, AS FOR THE CAFE , YOU WOULD BE BETTER BRINGING YOUR OWN FOOD & JUST BUYING DRINKS A I THOUGHT THE PRICES WERE A RIP-OFF LAST YEAR.
  3. I FLY DARKNESS BUT USE LIGHTS AT THE BACKEND WHEN NIGHTS START TO DRAW IN, BIRDS THINK ITS STILL SUMMER WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON UNTILL 9pm, IN PAST SEASONS MY BIRDS HAVE STARTED TO MOULT COVER FLIGHTS AND NOT DONE AS WELL IN LAST 3/4 RACES BUT THIS YEAR WON CARDS UP TO THE LAST RACE.
  4. YOU DONT TRAIN DARKNESS YB TILL AFTER THE 21st JUNE.
  5. I DO THE SAME AS ABOVE, FOR THE LAST 3 RACES I PUT LIGHTS ON IN LOFT UP TO 9PM AS THIS STOPS THEM THROWING COVER FLIGHTS.

  7. thanks for reminding me mark hes started to clear the garden.
  8. could be used in stock loft, cock paired to 2 hens at a time.
  9. the bricon ets trap in the bhw states it fully complies with rpra rule 241, it has a drop down landing board birds enter over pad inside then drop through bob wires.
  10. not what i ment mark will explain when i see you.
  11. with that shape of trap mark you will have the same problem i had with sputnik, birds can miss the pad,
  12. hi mark have you seen the bricon ets trap in the bhw made by r.v.woodcraft, the best i have seen, was going to have a go at making one but when i saw the price i could not make it cheeper, £30 for small, £35 for large, you would need the £30 one, made with quality plywood. kirky.
  13. i have two young hens that look the same but thay are in heavy moult, some dont cope with the moult & show signs of stress.
  14. entry £6 each day or £11 for both days,
  15. thay may be fitter when going in the basket but after a night on the transporter thay will be feeling the chill factor, birds that are used to colder conditions will fair better, i do not like the early april races do not think thay are fair on the birds.
  16. thay will be in for a shock on race days when thay hit a cold northerly wind.
  17. I only fed once a day birds moult better when kept slightly hungry,
  18. you dont need heating in loft, you birds will be better without it, if your cold yourself put on a thicker coat.

  21. I have not been to flamingo but yes its in that area.
