I use a breeding mix which contains a variety of maize but I also put bucktons breed & wean in the galley pots in the nest boxes

The only worry I would have about them lying with the wings spread in the rain shower Andy is their like sitting ducks for bops to have a go at them :angry:

Its usally held around the weekend that is near 17th or 19th of January, if you contact the RPRA office they'll be able to help you out

Good morning folks

Wet start to the day here in Derry :emoticon-0156-rain:

Gazza there is still plenty of time to get a team of Ybs ready for racing, I haven't even got my birds paired yet. If those 10 eggs all hatch your off to a good start and they'll be a few more to follow. This is a lot better than having an overload of Yb's you gather up to start with and end up with the usual problems with over crowding

If you put the Ring No on the stray section on the SHU website you'll have the name and address within minutes of reporting as long as you leave the comment box blank

Good morning folks

Loft looking well Alf, wishing all the very best of luck with the birds racing to it

Gazza have you had your birds treated or had them checked before pairing up as it does'nt sound right if they have been paired since Christmas and you still haven't any sitting on eggs :emoticon-0138-thinking:

Keep them coming Lewis, another good post, thats some amount of trophies won in 1979 by Eddie. I have a Dtr off Kardale Style who has bred me a few good birds

Another cracking post rooster and as you say the Black family are still churning out the results in the INFC every year with their fantastic family of pigeons, thanks for sharing :emoticon-0137-clapping:

I must be definately blind then Walter as I wouldn't see a thing until 8-10 days :emoticon-0136-giggle:

Cracking looking hen John

I had this happen last season were two hens nested with the one cock and they all shared sitting the nest but I did remove 2 of the eggs and replaced the other 2 with a pair of eggs from the stock loft. As Walter has advised I would remove one of the eggs but not before I checked they were filling okay after 10 days

You should be able to pick them up at your local corn supplier and their not too costly either

Nice looking hen John, best of luck breeding with her
