must of been dreadfull for them poor birds and owner alike people involved need stringing up

went to farm shop today 45 pound for 3 bags of corn bamfords 20 kg bags. maples and tic beans nearly 18 pound a bag of 20 kg cant keep going on like this definatly getting a rich mans sport

look loverly babys be interesting if the red does moult out to see wat colour it changes to

u can let them in together every other weekend fri to sunday morning it wont hurt i find hens are better once u have masterd the trapping feed the hens in the cocks lofts at all times they soon learn

ive got 2 grizzles together they are bluey white colour but there youngsters are white with red bars there in there own breeding pen so can only be theres

i decided on 30 this year as need to cut right down on birds mine have been out a couple of times now snow has gone just have to keep eye out for percy

best way to do it

yes cocks just over the ounce unless had it hard then will get bit more i will be using the super moulting right threw no breakdown

i change my feed a lot to get it right over the last 3 years its changed every year was on small seeds etc but now changed to super moulting it has 16 different seeds on it everything u need they stay on that all year yes i do mix things up with cocks and hens sometimes i do leave hens in with cocks for 5 to 6 hrs on friday and on return from race untill sunday morning and never go eggie its all about tweeking it to wat suits you ive raced widowhood natural etc but celibert is ten times better in my eyes no problems if u lose the cocks hen as never had a set one in start plus i think cocks get bored with same hen all the time its all about motivation for condition and fitness no other system will touch celibert for fitness

full of snow here aint stopped since 8am poxie stuff

aint had no snow here thank good but been raining this morning forcast is for bad snow tomos here moving northwards

it was so cold this morning all my clay water bowls in the hutches had cracked to bits

changed a bit now for the worse up to 10 inces in places blizzards in south east friday evening but west coast all way from top to bottom of country severe snowfall m25 be a standstill for starters at least kids have something to do

from wat i see its snow for most of country fri into sat heavy on the west side dont think ill bother i could imagine the traffic takes around 4 and half hours for me could turn out a all day thing u no wat this countrys like with a bit of snow

just started having my hens out and after 3 days they are doing a hour no problem even today its frezing and still flew well another month yet before start letting cocks out

its the hens u got to worry about they become so aroused its unreal really easy to motivate

yes u do need a stock team once u have raced on it and got into routine and tweeked it to your way u wont go bk to any other style of racing its that easy

one thing i always use now and definatly works Equine America Airways is used to lubricate and dilate the respiratory tract pre competition to encourage maximum intake of air during that event - whether it be cross country, racing etc. Natural ingredients contained are vinegar, honey, glycerine, eurcalyptus and peppermint

if your first season as many as u can that your loft allows i would say to size of your loft 60 no more

i find hens totally dominate the cocks for first 3 to 5 races ive tried all the systems this system u will never see birds fly like they do on this plus the condition of them is unreall

well i should hope we do we spend enough time and money on them vets aint wat there cracked up to be im afraid in my eyes your birds are as healthy as the club u race in

only reason i stopped was its a waste of money i was treating sat sun mon on return from race and if they had picked virus up it wouldnt of treated it anyway waste of time treating for cocci u only get that if something else is wrong anyway had problem 2 seasons ago went to vets 5 times same old crap treated treated and treated mite aswell just pushed money down there necks so went to 2 other vets all came bk with different things so decided no more treatments its all a con meds do have there place but only as a treatment once birds show first signs

race well upto 500 odd miles won nearly 30 1st federations on this systen only trouble is hen u cant get them dow they just fly themselves fit anything upto 3 hrs a let out drives u mental

get there friday dinners time put bags in room cup tea then get tickets for winter garden then bk to bed breakfast have kip then on p*ss friday nite lol may go jagged thistle if still there lol

tony as soon as they were havested i think pea lane bought the lot cant get nowere at moment can get plenty of green peas was getting maples but they got bought up in one hit aswell
