  4. Don't mix these birds with your own Debbie - keep them separate - for 2 to 3 weeks - and observe them - but preferably have a full health check on them Salmonella - paratyphoid - from mouse urine
  5. Unless your first race is the beginning of April - then you need atleast 3 clear weeks from your first race to end of breeding - working backover to get your birds into condition and in to the swing of things Always work back over from your first race for pairing up and always write everything down - you can then work out 'where you went wrong' for the following year and change accordingly

    the coldest I remember it being was in 1982 - when it was -17 where I lived - but I didn't have pigeons then - the pipes froze inside the house on a warmer day (-12 ) and burst while I was at work (shrug)

    distance cock

    Nice to see you're sorted
  22. What has happened to the price of these In the past I have bought them from Tesco and Holland and Barrett Tesco - 300g have increased their price from 49p to £2.98 in one fell swoop Holland and Barrett - 500g was 99p went up to £1.49 and are currently £2.25 Wilkinsons are £1.99 a kg bag (for wild birds) - but I don't like the look of them I used about 12kg this last year - and to be honest I've a shed full of straghts - and don't fancy buying another big bag thats going to take 2 years to use up anybody seen any bargains?
  23. To be honest - I've got a quickstart - and it seems upside down - ie you drop into the bigger part of the thimble not the smaller part - and it won't change round - its a problem - so be wary what you get
  24. That is too many I feel for them - my husband works in haulage and I think the most drops he has done in a day is 26 (not pigeons) and thats him being out of the house for 12 hours - and not long haul either - and that many drops is also once in a blue moon !!
