[Mr K Harvey Uttoxeter Staffs]

this needs to be highlighted on pigeonchat also....lets catch the scumbag out  and put an end to his ways

 

Would just like to say that the birds in question were neither advertised nor purchased through Pigeon Chat.

 

We are trying to help to get to the bottom of this though.

[coming off the dark]

All depends when your key races are?

 

For mid September form they need to come off later than a loft looking at form in August

[willy jacobs has any body heard of them]

Very competent sprint based family.  The cream are probably with Gerald Delaney in Ireland

[Feeding sprint races]

Best is www.versele-laga.com  They have feed patterns etc on there for all sorts of racing.

[iron tonic]

Johnsons Tonic  - stood the test of time for decades.

 

Can't beat it as an iron supplement.

[Flor Vervoort]

The 5000 hen was one of Flor Vervoort's greatest pigeons.  Was sold a few years ago for a MASSIVE sum (Think nearly £60,000 if memory serves)

 

Winner 23 x 1st  & ace breeder.

[Natural vs Widowhood]

Which Fed Roland ?

[Vitamin E]

Blue Smarties - All to do with the E numbers I think...   Unsure why, or who discovered it, but seen it work a dozen times.

[Natural vs Widowhood]

Seems to be the story that has gathered pace over the last few years ... 6 years ago I was atounded when I had a game keeper friend  tell me  fetch a injured bird. Was a cracker with wing Damage from up north. The Fancier told me that up there there were being roasted by the natural system  flyers even on the short so called sprints. Our fed is dominated mostly by Natural, and as for distance, wel just look at the Nationals, especially the Hens! N4ed one look further?

 

Which Fed is this Roland ?

[Stalosan F]

I do believe I was the first one to ever use Stalosan.   Met a guy called Earl Williams who wanted me to trial it - I then wrote about it in BHW.

[Best person to obtain birds from...]

If I were to ever start again (which I won't) I would'nt confine myself to my locality - I'd use the internet to search the world for what I thought were the right birds

[end of an era]

sad time and a legend in pigeon racing

 

Echo that..   A great name & a fine man

[Calling John Stretton]

I don't Stu

 

But I know a man who does!!

John is his club member - 01283 568000

[the matrix]

Great stuff

[*** Quality Vandenabeeles ***]

Not surprised!!

[cankering]

Canker lives & breeds in the crop - hence most the time you can't see it

 

The yellow cheesey form is excessive and deep rooted

 

A standard canker treatment OUGHT to shift it - if it doesn't I'd said there was something fundamentally wrong with pigeon - assuming you're using the product correctly
