mid cheshire fed and cheshire 2 bird at fougeres, no lib as yet, mist on channel? further update 10.15

Im at work at present, and clear blue skies in madeley, cheshire. slightly hazy no wind hardly.

Vic, really what is your problem? Any threads that have been moved or locked have been done so for a reason, I have no interest in premier league football. your Moved thread was moved as it was just more garbage. You obviously dont like me or any moderator, Thats fine, But i will carry on doing whats best for this site and if people complain about certain threads, then they have to be dealt with. This is a pigeon website afterall, and 99% of football threads all end up in petty squabbles. Thank You.

is she eating o.k? and discharge from her beak? its not canker!! im sorry for saying it was, see how easy it is for getting it wrong without seeing! could be an ear infection? but i would rather not hazard a guess, best to get her checked out mate. sorry couldnt be of more help

Take it not then?? jargre hope you have got a good 1 mate?

And rome wasnt built in a day tell him :-) We have all done it, keen to get going, but more haste less speed and all that!! ;-)

Nice bird, i would say it is canker, but not 100% as never had it round ears? could probably have an underlying problem that has caused the canker, harkers tablets would be fine if it is canker, But a good avian vet would be your best bet, its hard to diagnose without seeing.

I would say 7 weeks is far to young!! if they left the nest at 4 weeks walking about outside the loft at 5 weeks flipping about at 6 weeks!! and 7 weeks training?? Be patient with them, keep them back a bit longer, let them get confident in there surroundings first. :-)

It's really tricky to explain on here, everyone does things differently, but the birds need to flying well around home and at least going out of sight for longer periods(ranging) are the birds flying well around home? (healthy?) how long has he had the birds? and how many times have they been out? i would probably say he has taken them training to early. Need to be very patient with ybs? where they in good condition when they came back?

He was on yesterday at 5.10pm, when did you message him?

tou shouldnt have told him that, was going to start charging him for my weather services! :-). great site and has been spot on for last 5 weeks

Thanks for the information, Its nice to hear some good service has been provided.

sorry mate, about 6/7 mph near your area.

Great to hear. What areas do they cover any idea?

should be a good race, with the sse wind, Mind not much wind here

Good luck to all! what sort of distance is that mate?

Well done on getting them all back, you have done well, they must have got split by a hawk or bad weather? or gone off ranging a bit further? I would take them again monday, weather permitting. It would have done them good coming back on there own. So a nice lesson for them.

That told you alan :-)

sorry to hear that mate, hope most of them work back! young birds do the strangest things, so might not be a hawk. a guy in our club let 42 out last year after they had been flying well round home, never saw a feather again!! just from the loft. all the best anyway. theres time yet.

have you a link for it mate?

Well done Great performance, and great bird, bet you cant believe she was 2nd again though! how unlucky or lucky is that?

very good chrisss, your talents are waisted! great minds think alike? or 2 fools...... dont know how it goes?? lol

HA HA! that made me laugh!! :-) pot,kettle....................
