I have joined as I have an interest in racing pigeons but I don't know fully what is involved. I have a club on my doorstep which I have enquired about joining. I have been gifted an old pair of good distance birds from a friend who raced in continental races. I have no clock yet but got loads of time as I think it will be 2015 before I start with a young team. Once bred do I need to register the young racers with rpra? How does this side of it work? Also how many young birds would I need for a season?
