  1. Kevin, didnt mean any disrespect to you ,just noted where i had seen Kenzie name before and your kind offer to him.
  2. Kingziemckay, is this nae the lad Kevin Elliot tried to help with young ones on an earlier topic,if so he maybe looking to join Buckie Club hence the initials??I know one thing its made me lock the shed .
  3. Dull cold grey squally showers, miserable day.
  4. Nice lofts hope you have a lot of luck with them.
  5. Whos loft got robbed and have they lost a lot o birds.
  6. First baby the day, some other pairs sitting but yearlings are slow to get going all they want to do is zip across the sky they are in great strip,this letting them pick their own mates can be a bit hit and miss but its been easier on me.
  7. I also agree with Owen when rearing young i give them layers pellets in their feed.
  8. Great posts ,well done to you thanks.
  9. Great reading very informative just shows you dont need to make things complicated ,and look at feeding methods great man indeed.I will be putting in hopper when starting to feed youngsters ,and maybe leaving it when training and racing ,so we will see.
  10. I think its possible that i am on the wrong Kuyper as the one you are enquiring about sorry!that spelling and guy is new to me.
  11. From memory if not mistaken Kuyper brothers( with a K )was before his Barcelona wins influenced by Van Wanroy so therefore he must have had this blood in his birds ,you still get Van Wanroy as far as i know. Just been looking at Louela site ,Kuypers,or Van Wanroy ,6 youngsters for £145 might help.
  12. Windy and grey ,but sun trying to break through,cold.

    Overfly

    I am happy where i live, and happy to fly and keep pigeons at where i am at ,and yes i will get on with it under any exsisting rule,but this being a forum (A meeting of a group of people to debate &discuss a shared topic)i asked the members opinion,and gave my own ,about this subject implying nothing ,just shareing my thoughts.
  14. Bright and sunny touch of frost but lifting.

    Overfly

    So with that last comments Doohead i take it you dont agree ,and i have put a doo in a basket that being in 1980s through to 1995 - 1996 and as for an excuse for being beat ,no .As i said thats my thoughts on the subject of influence of the wind on results .I will be taking part in races to be there or there about and hopefully get a turn as we all do .All the best for the season.

    Overfly

    I imo! say doos dont fly in a straight line ,they are subject to prevailing winds so there fore when winds blow from the west towards the east in North Fed the birds fly in a ark from race point ,first drop Peterhead area .Now if that being the case Peterhead to Banff,and Peterhead to Turriff are virtualy same distance so therefore overfly given for nothing ,you do have to remember this is my opinion .

    Overfly

    No i am nae makin excuses as i have not got going racing yet ,I am thinking back 15 year ago when i was first in doos and the amount of times that Turriff doos were beat with the time given in overfly to Banff ,so my assumption is wind from west no chance from east is good just my opinion .And yes Gogs is spot on.

    Overfly

    Thats when the wind is coming in from the east ,then yes it does happen and also Gogs has some good doos.

    Overfly

    I was just reading the topic about ets and its pluses & minus thoughts and i was just thinking that position and the so called calculation for over fly needs looked at more than anything, as drag round the coast is a great factor to winning ,well up here in the north fed imo!what do fowk on here think of overfly.
