Sorry can't help you with axholme draft of Theelens but he's One of the all time greats at the distance still clocking good yins into his 90s only last week was well up at Marseille race 👏
Superb, can't help but be a bit jealous of fanciers down south with the competition open to them and chance to mix it in the International races. Can't even have a combined result with local federations up here 😞
Anyone follow the international racing? What a race unfolding tonight from the biggest race of them all the Barcelona International. Looking at the times in France there could be UK birds on the night what a buzz that would be
Ayrshire race from Wooler ...SNFC from Brighton. Made decision today that were not sending to SNFC due to thunder forecast over the weekend. Good race programme ahead with joint libs with Lanarkshire and another Brighton with SNFC to give us plenty options over next few weeks. Won't be going to channel races other than Guernsey with federation. Looked at these last couple races all year so looking forward to them....best of luck to boys racing this weekend
Do you have a vermin problem or wild birds mixing with your own? Get in contact with a vet and follow advice from them. An antibiotic prescribed by them would have been the best course of treatment IMO.
We've a good one in Stevenston train together on the trailer and have half a dozen races for OBs and YBs usually either Livingston or Cockenzie.
Certainly helps keep birds fit and good for our ybs to get plenty work
Would also add that pigeons can come back from having paratythoid. Know of a bird that had it in wing joint and went on to compete at international level. That was one bird that developed it in the wing butt.....maybe different ball game when while loft is under attack from the salmonella
