  1. I can't help but think you've lost them because of sickness and bringing in late breds would just make things worse. I think your best plan is to keep your pen young bird free for six months and you'll be left with birds that have a better immunity to it.
  2. Give it some time. Why wouldn't it be any good. It clearly knows where home is and after staying out knows the best place to be. My 8th BBC Bordeaux came home in a box but repaid my confidence in him.
  3. According to a top vet if you vaccinate for PMV, birds that have YBS it will cure it. Apparently he vaccinated on a daily basis till the bird recovered. Only what I've heard.
  4. Can't help but think it is related to PMV from what the vet tells me and the best course of action I've heard is to vaccinate at 4 weeks of age and then use another vaccine a month later ie: Colombovac then Nobivac My birds had a single vaccine then came back from racing with YBS. So I went to the vet. Second vaccine due 25th of September. No good for this year but ? Other than that I'd give xerex a try if it don't work.
  5. Make sure the pen is dry
  6. That's what I call opal cheque I have a cock here that looks very much like the one on the right. Mine is Jan Aarden. Dunno what colour his young uns will be paired to a blue hen.
  7. It saddens me to announce the passing of my old friend, top flyer and true gentleman. Tony Billingham passed away new years eve. Will be sadly missed. Pete Mawby.
  8. Join the queue
  9. Just press F4 and you'll be completely kn4ck3r3d
  10. Try Damiana worked for me
  11. Bought a hen from there recently and I was very happy with her. (Paid just a bit more than £20 though.) while I was there I had a look at the birds for £40 a pair and nearly came away with ???? But it wasn't to be. Some good!

    Xmas Race

    This winter race fascinates me. I hope you all get good returns. Good luck.
  13. I'd start em at 10 mile but I'd want the temperaure to be in the mid teens. Not overly windy and the sun in the sky.
  14. I'd be inclined to breed from 'em in March and give 'em a few short races from mid May. They'll want protein me thinks. Breeding, young bird, or moulting mix.
  15. Mid March will do me. No interest in sprints. Later bred young uns grow like mushrooms. When I breed early, I just lose my young uns anyway. Works for me, so I'll go back to what works best. (For me)
  16. Oh dear there seems to be one very recognizable name on the list. Still he has friends in very high places.
  17. The cock is Delbar and comes from a top Aarden flyer in belgium the hen is Buscheart
  18. Bit Naughty realy, as the cock has already produced a son to score for me, the hen is new though. Thanks for your nice comments though
  19. A couple o' my white what do you think ? Just for weddings ? Hawk bait ? Race may be ?
  20. I had Spangles and they came in all colours
  21. Like clockman mine go 10 mile but that's as far as they go first and last toss but they go a few times
  22. What might that be mate. Think about it. The only thing he has control of is driving.
  23. Funny aint it most of you want to linch the convoyer when you get a bad race. When he crashes the transporter it's another story
  24. Dunno about most unusualbut why is there a pair always nest next to the door
  25. Mate you can't swap the eggs unless they've been laid around three days apart. I dunno where you are but give the old birds a few days in the pen lock the doors. I'm sure people will be more than glad to help out.
