REDCHEQHEN

have you tried bubble wrap? wrap in bubble wrap pockets and then pack the sides of a box with bubble wrap so they don't move - I had some small plants sent through the post earlier in the year and they arrived in perfect condition

Most of our young bird races were bad ones - 50% of them were NW winds - as previously stated this hen didn't let us down once, nor has she had a night out

I found a strange bug in the house - and found it on the internet - e-mailed the bloke from the site - and he was very informative - the bug in my house was native to Australia - a lily beetle - it was about an inch long - and bright orange with stripes (I think) and about 12,000 miles from home (I was worried in case it was something that might munch through my furniture :B )

Her half brother (same dam) did very well this year as a yearling - so fingers crossed

;D ;D ;D I agree ;D ;D

I think you've both read it wrong the original breeder Mark Sands had 7 x 1st Feds in 2006 from Mardon pigeons the sire of the bird for sale, 2nd Fed, 3rd Fed, 4th Fed, 5th fed. 8th Combine Exeter Thats how I read it

sorry - dazer sell personal ionisers - but I don't know if they are anything like the other one certainly - when worn around the neck - you can actually feel the fresh air around you - they don't clear the air in the loft though

Dazer international sell them - but their website is down at the moment - its the one that sells xerek - for young bird sickness www.dazer.com

One of our club members has got a personal ioniser that he wears round his neck - and swears by it (its got a japanese name - like yakuso :-/ :-/)

so am I ALF Wish I was as fortunate

Very nice set up ;D How big is your garden?

For London fliers - the greatest distance for any of these German racepoints is 450 miles

;D ;D ;D redskins :P

Human consumption ones - they're better quality

She's grown a bit :o It is a she isn't it? Very nice DOVEScot Hope she's not leaving you too many 'presents' ;D

Yes - but South East wind will be a blow home

3137 birds from Bourges this year 12600 Clermont in 2006

For the reasons that you have given for its removal - I don't think it is a good idea Can you think of anything else?
