blaz

i chase my mate up later today to see whats happening

done a good job looking good

you have a good eye on you for a bird no 9 is the only bird their with a name WEE STRAPPER (bred from gift bird from our strapper on hear) 1st club 1st fed 18th open ypres being his best so far he can also breed winners. his target this year all going well will be to race in the gold cup race with S.N.F.C.

whare are you from

nice one a bit similar to me dropping a cock in to a 169 mile race.he beat in my opinion fitter birds of mine he just tried harder to get to his yb. i will see if he can try the same at one or other of inland nats this year we need to try one or two tricks with natural birds to beat the roundabout and WIDOWHOOD fanciers. i think set right a natural bird will give any on a set system a run for their money.if you could see my loft and the way i let birds live you would say it was natural . also think you would agree that thay are happy as i let them nest whare thay want and pick which loft thay want to be in .i even let a pair nest on floor right in cornor at door in to loft. their yb,s will be eating out of hopper in no time.if i don,t stand on them 1st

hear is a picture of the sire of one of the yearling cocks which one. the sire was killed last year by bop.

somemore

hear are some photos of the cocks i will be racing this year and hoping for the best from them.

spent the day putting a photo box together for birds then took some photos of my race cocks for this year.

i don,t doubt for a second that a big worm inside a plastic works. with the electric motor in side one it is so much like a real yb trying to get out with the tap taping then stops for 5 or 10 mins then starts again.listening to a real chick trying to get out the egg and listening to the wee electric motor are so much alike.that said any movement and both cock or hen thinks chick is on its way out. BE GOOD IF ANY MORE NATURAL FANCIERS COULD ADD TO THIS THREAD

YOU MESS IT YOU CLEAN IT

i fly natural birds with good success winning club and fed trophy,s their is a good few ways to set birds up for a race. cocks race well sitting eggs but still feeding big yb,s. best result for me like this was 1st club 1st fed 18th open ypres s.n.f.c. also a good few other results like this. through losing a hen last year the cock brought the signal yb up on his own from about 4 days old.soon as i seen yb eating on its own from bowl in nest box.i sent the cock to race 169 mile no tranning at all. the cock was 1st club 18th fed .not all cocks take to this but he did .he will be set up same way but fitter this year to a race a bit further.will also try with 1 or 2 other cocks. putting a small mirror in nest box on day of birds getting put in basket can work to.as both cock and hen think another bird is in their space. plus no fighting and it gets them wound up. getting a hen set up from ticking eggs .i have 2 dummy eggs with a small electric motor in side. i get the hen down on eggs in plenty of time for race so as her eggs then change for plastic eggs will hatched round about the day she gets put in basket for race.does not mater if eggs still have 3 or 4 days to hatch or if it is 2 or 3 days over.on day of basketing i put 2 ticking eggs under her .she then thinks her yb,s are hatching.done right with right hen grate results my best being 1st club 1st fed by 40 mins plus and 9th open eastbourne nat. you will also get a good result from a some hens racing to a 2 to 4 day yb, i find happy healthy content birds race that bit better. photo of ticking eggs i would like to see some other ideas from fanciers that fly natural as i we don,t help beginners then how will thay learn hope this helps better add got ticking egg gifted to me from my mate criminal law breaker THANKS as i could not buy them anywhere

i even had a mate caught out and he knows my wife is ANITA not Amanda. he thought i had spelt it WRONG

my lot are going by courior don,t think that makes any difference if it does another member will put you right

no i don,t think you do .as i have birds going over next week

put me down for 2 yb,s. as this sale is not for a while buyer can have choice of any way bred from any of my birds.including from 1st fed or sire and dam of 1st fed or birds that have scored at nat level the best of them just now is only 1st club 1st fed 18th open ypres. YB,S will be floated under pair of feeders.

STILL GETTING PM.S

The winter of 2010–2011 was a weather event which brought heavy snowfalls, record low temperatures, travel chaos and school disruption to Great Britain and Ireland. The winter of 2010 in the United Kingdom saw the UK's earliest widespread winter snowfall since 1993 with snow falling as early as 24 November across Northumberland and North Yorkshire. A maximum snow depth of 30 inches (76 cm) was recorded on 1 December in the Peak District and Sheffield.[citation needed] In this event Scotland and Northern England were most severely affected. On 9 December temperatures recovered across much of the UK, causing a partial thaw. Later, on Thursday 16 December a cold front reintroduced a cold, arctic airstream. This cold spell brought further snow and ice chaos back to the United Kingdom with Southern England, Wales and Northern Ireland bearing the brunt of the wintry conditions. This led to severe disruption to the road and rail network with several airports being closed including London Heathrow airport for a time. Several local temperature records were broken including a new record low for Northern Ireland of -18.7 °C recorded at Castlederg on the 23rd December 2010. By the New Year a thaw had begun, and there have been very little extreme conditions since 2011 began - There was some snowfall in early January, and there was an anticyclonic spell at the end of the month that brought some cold, frosty days. February was above average in temperature and ended on a mild note, although the snow returned in much of Scotland during March.

i think it will be near impossible to get the SSPCA which covers Scotland and the RSPCA which covers England and wales.to back any control of birds of pray.neither one of them could risk putting their society's name forward to control birds of prey by kulling some or by any other means.as much as we all hate the birds of prey that day in day out PREY on our birds across the country. to try and get the backing of a society that stands for stopping cruelty to ALL animals.having worked for the SSPCA myself some years ago i can,t see neither of them backing the control of BIRDS OF PREY . I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE WRONG ON THIS
