Hi all, My job involves working 7.30-6pm 5 days a week. What exercise could I give young birds? I am off completely on weekends and they could be out all day, just weekdays that is worrying me. Could I get them fit for a race with my work hours? I could take them to work for a training toss in the morning once trained but I work in East Manchester 17 miles from home to work and the club have told me that their races fly from south to North.would this make a difference, as I could do the 20 mile tosses on weekends from the south?

Anyone got a pair of rollers near Manchester?

and use one of the sections in the loft for the breeders? I probably have room for 1-2 stock pairs but that would be it. how many broods does a hen normally have, is it 2-3 per year?

morning lads, if I haven't got the room for stock birds, how do I breed new birds for the following year?

Cheers lads

Red factors, linnet mule and razas. Waiting of a lad to pick them up today

Used some old ply I had knocking about and an old canary cage front. Just got to finish the divide now

What do you think lads?

where would I put the 6-8 breeding pairs?

Inbox full, will try again

Thank you, pm sent.

Hi all, Has any of you got any pictures of the inside layout of a small 8x8 or 8x 6 loft. Trying to work out the best way of splitting the room I have got. I plan eventually to keep around 6-8 stock pairs and then need space dividing for cocks and hens. The space I have is an 8x8 shed with double doors on on side. I have screwed one door shut and plan to use that one for trapping. Any pictures much appreciated. Cheers all

Had a look and the test trap for £110 I can make for about £10

Much appreciated the lads gifting me birds to get me going the best advice I have received is to concentrate on getting them flying experience and getting them home. I am not going to worry about places or positions whilst learning. It's all experience. I started on loft today. I got 8 boxes built and put in place, separated the shed in half. Need to sort out some sort of trap. That is my mission tonight. Research traps. Set about making one in the morning.
