  2. for inland racing over the last 2 decades tommy shaw must rank up there with the best a relatively small team man his performances in the mighty north staffs fed are legendary
  3. same here ace lofts seperate cocks and hens keep them in give them a bath once a week nothing in the water no lights on always got through the moult perfectly ok i think its how far and for how long into the season you race your youngsters if you race them well into september especially when paired up then you may have a job getting them through on the above method

  8. we had a young bird go missing and came back at the end of the season with its rubber still on but well worn as a yearling it won the first race and then this year won the north west classic lulworth race but i think they are few and far beetween
  9. there as been a lot of hold overs all over the country in september
  10. i do look every week at it but always think that our race controller and convoyer will not liberate if it is not fit we fly in the staffordshire/moorland fed where the safety of the birds always come first as far as i can remember we have never had a bad race due to weather conditions if there is any doubt they will hold
  11. cheshire clear skies sun shine at7.30 am

  18. young bird sickness has got to be a major reason for heavy losses i agree that over crowding is another reason but how many of us actually overcrowd the incubation period is in my opinion when y/birds go missing and not all fanciers notice it they dehydrate and get disorientated result awol
  19. cheshire bright sunshine at 7 45
  20. staffs/moorlands fed no lib today from frome
  21. if you get an elastic band and loop it round one wing after a week take out a couple of flights from inside the band a so on for the next couple of weeks the birds will have learned where they now live because each week they can fly to the loft roof and then in the sky this way there is no need to cut their wings
  22. staffs/moorlands fed at frome
  23. it all depends on how many birds he has for sale and how many fanciers are going to buy them off him if he is a geniune man and he selects the best for the first fancier who goes to him will he tell the second fancier who visits him that he has selected the ones he thinks were the best for the previous fancier morale is get in early
  24. personally i dont think the n f c should air their washing in public
