yes we do but you dont fly pigeons to the west coast of scotland and ive tried all these pigeons over the years you name it ive tried to get them to win at 500 miles through here and guess what none ever did .

they wouldnt win nationals through were i am with van reets.

IM VERY FRIENDLY WITH KENNY AND HIS BROTHER and his birds performance was a great one that day , just i dont have any sprint pigeons or interest in them .

no i was just passing comment on this particular pigeon h o m/lothian. ps they were very nice birds but just not my cup of tea thats all.(yours should make a bit more than £10 mate.)

im not sure i think it was about 1100 birds ?guess :-/

i bought a cock off it at the snrpc y/bird sale and kenny kindly bred me one to go with it(thats when i found out they were s/v/r's) but sadly none of them are still here, the cock raced ok and went down at leicester and the hen went down 1st race although it was a later bred pigeon and was untrained as a youngster. the only reason i raced them was im am not interested in sprint pigeons and did not want to breed off them

i think you'll find heart of midlothian won the inland national with the snrpc, not the snfc for kenny bald of easthouses and it was a staff van reet .

i'll see you there then mate.

central fed sale is in mewmains bring it along and maybe buy something else allan?

try chocolate they just love it ,i have found they really go mad for a lion bar ,if theres a rat about and i set my fen trap with a piece of lion bar in it ,the next morning good night irene GUARANTEED.

come on the blues , fantastic result against the form team in britain

i think you would need to ask south lanarkshire about the cost etc .not sure if any on here are from s/lanark

.The question was asked how many pigeons can this transporter hold and i answered by saying it can hold 1800 for oversea's races , obviously more for inland races , so get off yer high horses your a sad lot .

totally agree vincent top of the range , when i said 1800 birds i was talking about oversea's races , that is 22 birds /panier so the birds have plenty of room and with the ventilation ,sorry air conditioning, the birds are transported in first class condition, and we are very lucky and very grateful to south lanarkshire and of course gordon geddes for the use of his smaller but equally as good transporter.

i think i heard it on the radio that its a fortnight behind :-/

ok? here goes dufky elite energie mix

am i close? is there peeled sunflower in it?

a high fat mix?

yes mate 100 mile /200 mile/300 mile, then 500/600 no probs as long as there right and bred for the job.

this is south lanarkshires transporter that the snrpc get the use of . this is the bee's knee's i think it holds about 1800 pigeons comfortably

good luck mate ,only i would give them a couple of races instead of just one jmo.

yes brian balance is very important in distance pigeons .i like a good length of wing , a good gap between the last 3/4 flights the step up from secondary's to primaries is not very important ,i find that the older the bird becomes the bigger the step is ,the same goes for the feathers under the wing (the ones nearest the body) a lot of top men say that these should be square but again this comes with age. imo but none of these theories count for anything if the bird isnt fit/healthy.

what races big yin?

black w/f i read between the lines that you were the guy or know the guy that bought this bird? listen if the guy knew it was'nt fertile WHY WOULD HE GIVE THE BUYER HIS MONEY BACK? I THINK THAT WAS VERY GOOD OF HIM TO DO THAT.

well mate sometimes thats all it can take is a change of loft to put them off ,sometimes a change of loft will put a spark into them , but who's decision was it to wait for five rounds , the buyer or the seller,i know if it was me i would try as many rounds as i could just to see , like trimming his under feathers and his tail, same with the hen , then maybe try effamol tablets you name i would try different things then if he still didnt fertilise an egg, i would contact the seller for possible refund or swap for another equally well bred bird. You cant blame the seller for a bird not fertilising an egg ,even if he said before hand it was fertile .
