Yeah my feeding bill is crazy at the moment. So cheers for advice guys. Race them I will

I have tried emailing shu too and no reply from them. Whats there game. 3 weeks ago?? :-/

Cant argue with that jonjon

Showing mate. Birds I buy are based on how they handle or look. I have about 2 pair from the late W Brown (Tranent) that were bought for the national scene but I am a full out man for shows. Racing in the past I never cared. All I done was send my birds and watch them return. Was not competitive. This year I am going to up my game and be competitive but if I have something special for show pen it will be put away and not raced. So shows are still my number 1 but racing has moved up a fair bit.

Very good birds they have too Andrew

Who was your uncle mate?

That cock was supreme champion at the lothian charity show 2008 for Peter Murphy

He is a van reet x Delbar. 2005 pigeon

Jan aarden mate. Yeah nice cock

Happy birthday

Also

Just wanted to show of the new birds that were bought in for my stock team..

Lol like it mate ;D

Done. Very cute

Cheers

Never even realised you can compete in both. My dad used to fly SNFC but sadly never made big impact. Was not dedicated enough to nationals

Not really been into racing big time mate but I am going to try National racing this year. Also not sure if SNFC or SNRPC. I am not sure why the split happened or things!! But I am fully intending flying this year in Midlothian but more for the nationals

Very good m8

Was thinking the same myself mate

I was always told maize puts water into the body? Might be wrong but this maybe the reason it seems to fatten your birds up. I am no expert and might be totally wrong but I got told not to give it while showing as it makes them a bit heavy due to extra water in body

Sounds good to me surfer. I have always stated that my main aim in the pigeon world is showing my pigeons in the winter months. But I have now decided to race my birds with the distance the main aim. I feed my show team like widowhood birds by breaking them down on the monday with a duperitive mix and building up towards the Fri. worked well for my team in the show pen so will be using same sort of methods for the racing season

If this is now a police matter wich has been stated then maybe be better not to speak about in open forum? Just a thought

Hi Hotrod. So is beans a big priority in distance racing feed?? I am wanting to learn to fly my birds the extreme distances so any advice will be good. Cheers

I break the feeding up. From a light to a heavy as race aproges. I think to achieve the best results you do need to break the feeding up. Building up for the muscles for the race on a saturday
