hi if you contact john baker on 07831 171221 he should be able to help

yes thats the one terry

boddy and ridewood do a single bird one that is weighted at the back so if anything heavier than a pigeon drops on the front landing it just tips them off

what you going after vic

dont know much about ets but if you can get a read out printed i would think you could use it

went fishing at a pool in wildboarclough in cheshire one dropped not 6 foot away pecking at a small bird

spot on stuart with your remarks a lovely couple always has time to talk also its plain to see why they have been so succesful Geof is so quite and placid around the loft that the birds must oose confidence

in most other races like horse racing and greyhound racing if 2 go over the line together its called a dead heat and the next one over the line takes third

years ago when breeding pellets first came out for racing pigeons i thought i would give them a try the youngsters grew so quickly in the first week that if you did not ring them before 7 days old you struggled to get the ring on but after 11 days old they seemed to level the rate of growth off to a normal rate did not see any great difference in size or quality of youngsters at weaning time but there was no wastage of food as the old birds did not scatter it looking for certain grains i alwats ring now about 7 days but i am always checking as it also gets the youngsters used to being handled at an early age

ets is the only clocking in system that i am aware of that does not require SEALING WHY ?????? ps i am not anti ets i just wondered

fine stu if you have allready decided who you are buying off i would put my faith in that person as you must have trusted him before deciding to buy off him as you know stu good birds come in all shapes and sizes a typical example is your tarbes cock and your pau hen you know the one i picked out and suggested where it should go

good point delboy

if possible i would look for fanciers who are scoring well with only a small setup in top competition that are in or near to your own AREA

dont want to scare munger but get your birds tested PROPERLY for paratyphoid

i remember a good flyer once saying that they did not believe in floating eggs as they thought that it contributed to YOUNG BIRD SICKNESS as the immune system in the young in the egg was different to the foster parents immune system and when they hatched out it could cause problems im not saying i believe it but it is food for thought some people say that bringing youngsters in from another fanciers loft could also cause trouble re YBS but i know of many fanciers whos stock loft is not on the same site as their race loft so would that count as another loft

rodders is correct they eat it at first then spuw it up but they dont do it twice

well said timbarra

i will answer the ORIGINAL QUESTION asked by hepste we dont have any available but all the best with your request

where does it say that you cant have a dead heat

sorry should have added that they were printed by ABBEY DESIGN FROM LEEDS

i have both copies THE PIGEON FANCIERS HANDBOOKand THE PIGEON FANCIERS HAND BOOK number 2 both by LT CORBY

in my view LOUELLA are a prime example of how to INBREED and LINEBREED thus ensuring the blood of the CHAMPIONS they have runs strong through the line for many many years

a good piece of advice JSTOON and good replies we also use a INDELABLE PEN on all our FISHING TACKLE as the theft of tackle is now BIG business in the angling world

our club has a 10 mile radius so the most any member travels is yes youve guessed it! 10 MILES however with the decline in membership in general all over the countries we may need to have a look at this with a view of opening up the radius while at the same time still making it FAIR for all members concerned if we dont then we will finish up with only a handful of members very soon

just a point on freezing drinkers if you cut a thermolite block in half then cut a half circle in each block then push them together and put them on another thermolite block then place the drinker inside the hole this generates warmth and stops the water freezing
