Hard frost this mo.and clear skies .Drinkers frozen,fingers frozen.

This better Frank,I was getting a stiff neck looking at the other.

Absolutely bloody freezing,I think it will take the rest of the day for me to thaw out. :smiley: :emoticon-0138-thinking:

Young birds on 90% beans 10% depurative. Race birds Gem Irish. Both Homoform and black rape as a tit bit.

Spot on that Tony,just had a half hour playing mate.

My mate knew that I had bred a few silvers over the years and asked if he could have one if pos.The grand sire was one of my best water birds bred down off some Dick Baldwin birds I bought off the late Gibbons Bros. Dearham when they retired from the sport. Looks like he's got a silver chq. going his way.Will put a smile on his face tonight. Here you are Steve(Worm)

Just about had the four seasons,snowing at the mo. and the sun's out,very cold wind.

Light cooking oil on a feather,don't over do it.

Happy birthday all.

Cold and wet. :emoticon-0156-rain:

I was training on the West Cumbria Fed transporter on Saturday,the birds returned OK.but no big batches as expected.A red cock was the last to return and appeared OK. They went again yesterday and when basketting I noticed he had four outer tail feathers missing. The convoyer told the lads basketting that the birds were hit with two Peregrines on liberating Sat. Several experienced birds are reported missing. Liberated Muncaster.Same reports from Haverigg. :emoticon-0179-headbang: :mad:

Rather milder,starting to rain. :cry-blow:

Good morning all.

Wouldn't think about the light system,I've flew darkness young birds for the past four or five years,I might revert to the natural this season,never seam to be able to keep them healthy,probably lack of ventilation over night ??.If I open the loft up any more It will be to mop out when it rains. Thought about potting a couple of chimneys on,that might be the answer. :animatedpigeons:

Cold and bright here,wind turned to Lt.SW.

Happy birthday all. :animatedpigeons: :animatedpigeons:

Will see if I can find any INFO.

Good post,I have noticed the ones in the top nest boxes are tamer young birds,maybe because they get handled more and have more access to you visually when they are very young.I use widowhood fronts.

Don't like taking chances Andy, but looking at the forecast for next week it's a no go. Lt.NE at the mo. here but bright and sunny. They've all day mate,hope for a lib about 12:00.

Woodside Open at Lyndhurst, just under 300 birds. Liberated @ 10:00 hrs. No wind. :animatedpigeons:

Looks like they'll be quite a few throwing in the towel Brian,I had a member on the phone last night,he's lost three in the last three days. :emoticon-0138-thinking:
