Duntocher & Clydebank H S. Sec.Mr.A.Roberts, Tel:01414 5628456. Good luck mate. Lindsay

Well done Gaz,keep them on their toes mate.Lindsay

Depends whats going onto the table,no need to buy anything special for them because when they get use,they'll just about eat anything.Carrot peelings especially, cabbage,cauly broccoli as i say anything off th table.Lindsay

Complete bloody shambles,got a good thing going two feds. amalgamating then this happens,pigeon racings on it's way out in this area unless we all pull in the same direction, been amang them for near 60 years.this will have to be sorted this week or it's off we go down the same old road.Lindsay C.Dearham .H.S.

Was there any swelling in the foot,not being a scare monger but para typhoid can strike like this.Hope it's not that.Lindsay

In a way I'm pleased the Welsh fanciers started going East we used to get hammered with birds clashing,still get caught out now,when our birds are at this weeks race point Wollaston.Hope they don't catch up with ours being liberated.Lindsay

Good luck to all you Scottish fanciers and good returns,don't think we'll get off today weather here in Dearham,Cumbria's like November.Lindsay C

I thought most of the Welsh birds were at Folkestone,might be wrong though.Quite a few post said Welsh North road and other feds there.I know the Up North Combine have about 45,000 birds there don't want to get mixed up with them.Lindsay

Sent twelve, six of each,Wollaston 164 +ml.poor forecast at the home end,fingers crossed they get a good race.

I fly my young birds on natural,if they want to pair up they can.On darkness at the moment,am. just a treat to let them know who's the boss and make sure they are all hungry and showing no signs of y.b.s.in the afternoon young bird high protein as much as they want. Once off darkness they go on the gerry plus system by the book.

Hi T_T. The last ten words in your post carry a lot of weight especially if they are winning for the fancier.Lindsay

What reason do the fed give for basketting on Thusrday and are you the only one's who do this.I could understand it if the birds were being transported on the night ???????? Lindsay PS.What time do the UNC basket on Friday it's got to be very early to get the birds on site and settled.

Never tried them but. This site will save you a pound or two on postage.Lindsay http://www.shuonline.co.uk/index.php

This might change your mind on how you give your birds Garlic.Very good reading.Lindsay http://www.myrtlelofts.com/vet7.htm

Fanciers any thoughts on the use of this stuff on pigeons. http://www.chicken-house.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh011111.pl?REFPAGE=https%3a%2f%2fwww%2echicken%2dhouse%2eco%2euk%2facatalog%2fPoultry_Health_Products%2ehtml&WD=poultry%20spice&PN=Poultry_Spice_1_5kg%2ehtml%23a224#a224

Just my opinion ,I would remove it.When i'm treating my birds for anything I remove the grit.Lindsay ps.Have a read through this ,it's a good site. http://www.auspigeonco.com.au/

I beleive calcium counteracts some antibiotics and would render the treatment useless.

If he gave you an antibiotic,which i'm sure he would ,did he advise you to remove any grit or minerals,if not I would remove them.Lindsay
