None at all here in Dearham.

IB wrote,"Vitamin B12 is an interesting one, said to come only from animal origin? I know it's in hormoform, but there's evidence from Vegan (vegetarian) website that it is made in the gut by friendly bacteria, which the animal then absorbs. Seems bacteria make other vitamins too, or help in their digestion". Due to an ilness my late mother had she could not eat any sort of fruit or veg.every other week the local nurse would call to inject her with B12 without this she fell seriously ill.

Difficult to explain without going over the top,to a litre 10/12 crystals if that much.I generally go by the bucket ,the pigeon bath holds about 3 buckets so a good pinch on the end of a tea spoon.Bath's about 2inch deep i like it so i can just see the bottom and no more.Sorry if that's vague but it takes very little.Lindsay

Yes it's finally came been at it most of the night but clear at the mo,so will get birds sorted as soon as pos.

Just bad timing mate,like you i daren't put them into to the loft with the others sitting eggs.Great birds looking at the breeders and at that price.Wish i had a spare section,i would have come over for them.Lindsay

Hi Chris, it's basically a mild disinfectant, anti fungal,but also keeps the birds lice free,a lot of gardeners use it when growing tomatoes,i think they use it to keep fungal probs away,not too sure on that though,i've used it for some 50 + years.Might be better things on the market but they won't be cheaper. One thing for sure if you have any problems with your feet ,athletes foot ,stinking.I'll guarantee this stuff WILL stop it. Lindsay.

Potasium Permanganate. ie.Condis Crystals.

Keeps the lass next door on her toes.

yep open fields Solway Firth then Scotland. ps excuse washing but the birds have to get use to everything.

It's ok kev been down that road a few times myself.

Had a good day yesterday weather wise so birds were out all day. click picture to enlarge.

Pigeonman007 said,Only possible disturbance I can think of is next door have a new pup and he has been whigning a lot at night, can hear this from outside the loft, would that be enough to bring them off maybe? If you think that could be a problem put a radio in the loft and leave it on all the time.

No snow in West Cumbria that i know of, been a nice day but cold.

Hi Chris,all looks well mate,what's the silver hen,always liked them i have a blue cock generally breeds one each season.He's an old breed,Dick Baldwin,flew well for me but now eight year old.Lindsay C. popped a photo of him on.

Can't see anything easier than clicking on more post options at the bottom of the reply panel and the clicking browse,double click on photo required and that should be it.Lindsay C.

Totally agree Jimmy,gods gift fresh air.Lindsay.

I agree with what you say about tobacco stalks thats why i also give them straw,takes me all my time to find the eggs the nests that deep.Lindsay.

They look good mate.Lindsay C.

Well done lads, another pair of gentlemen.Lindsay C

Pigeons arn't thick or at least some of them arn't.Do you think they are trying to tell us something.Storms tomorrow then temperatures plummeting well below zero on Sunday.???????? Lindsay C.

This pigeon over the last week or so must have gone through half a pack of tobacco stalks and same with straw,he use to follow me round the garden when i threw fresh stuff down.Have you got many doing this and do they make good racers(i fly natural).Lindsay C.

Best wishes mate hope you have a great day and may all your eggs be full.Lindsay

It's good to see people helping each other .Lindsay.
