the ones that lay eggs are the hens , unless you believe a recent thread concerning a bird that Darren Peters bought from galaxy lofts that magically changed sex lol

came in this morning , anyone know whos it is??

dark cheq h - just in -looks to have been in the fields - any takers??

no not too far at all , mine will have their first race this weekend about that distance , they have missed the first 3 races , first 2 were 85 mile and 3rd was about 115 mile , I expect them to do it without any issues. As greenland says it also depends on the amount of training etc

no you would be better to give them nothing tomorrow - then let them out the day after and feed light once you call tehm in , once you get some sort of control over them adjust the feed to suit . good luck - keeping them on the hungry side will do them more good than harm

name and shame the company because they are just taking the p*ss....

I chuck a ball at them on a length of string they soon get the idea - either in the air on in the loft,, I do allow them to roof for the first week or so as y/b but after that use the ball to keep them up,, good luck with them

the problem is you have lost control of your birds - nothing to do with your neighbour , keep them off the roof or you will continue to lose races , if you must move the gutter (but this is not the problem) suggest getting someone in to do it at your cost with your neighbours permission.. but don't be surprised if they tell you to do one.....

he maybe not happy Alan but I think I can see where hes coming from , we 'the British' seem to rush to buy Belgium birds when IMO we have better(or at least as good as) pigeons/fanciers here in the UK , at the end of the day do we know how many belgies come across to buy birds from our lads , not many I'd bet.... as the man more or less says its all down to the marketing......

AYE - Kev has swapped 2 y/b with me in the exchange , should be ready soon

AYE u were lucky Alan - o/t picked up the pair off davey the other day , cracking dark cheq cock and most likely a cheq w hen. first time I been up there(coxlodge allotments) Kev43 (from here) also has his loft there and his house just backs onto the gardens so dead handy for him - *expletive removed* next door still giving me jip btw

good luck but you will most likely come across rocking horse sh** before a second hand pad

Short term gain Alan double dip recession if the price of oil allowed to go too high / there#s no real demand its just oil traders driving the price

Alan don#t be cutting it with the old nesting stalks to save money worried the jock thing is rubbing off on you wi being up there for a while

Mealy x Red = Mealy, Red cocks - Mealy, Red, Blue, Blue Cheq hens

IMO - no bids should be allowed by pm - bids must be open and seen by everyone if the winning bidder has not paid within one or two weeks the bird is offered to the under bidder and the original non paying bidder is banned from buying or selling at any further sale

lot 54 £75

lot 54 £65

lot 54 - bid £55 update mb

using 50% beans 25% chicken rearing pellets 12.5% wheat and 12.5% barley and the y/b are looking really well on it

THEM SHIRTS WILL GO WELL WI THE JOCKS SKIRTS LOLOLOLOLOL

aye its the mechanism for a vendor to get his mate to up the bid on his bird if he#s not happy with the price its going for ??)

keep the pills for the pigeons and get on the drink at blackpool you know it makes sense

updated guidlines here http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/public/tools/house/ I had the planning dept round before my new loft was even finished to measure up , and not a jot they can do if within the permitted development rules

3 drops down the throat for me - well the birds that is lol
