Shortcut Lofts

I am using Frazers Best all Round at the minute £6.50 for 25kg. Bit dusty but when birds are doing nothing it is OK. I put oils on every day and it looks real good. Corn is going to go through the roof thats for sure, Gem & Versa Laga is currently £14 per bag - scandalous!

Be sending transfers all out this week guys, things settling down now. regards Eamon.

There are people on here that pick their own!! Happened last year.

Have a nice break mate. Nice place London, except for the peregrines!! eamon

Have reduced my stock to 12 pairs so easier managed. Ripped all my old nest boxes out in racing loft and re-done my floor. I have fitted Widowhood boxes in their place and will race total Widowhood next season (20 Cocks). Took some boards off the front of the racing loft and replaced with wire mesh to let more air in as i thought it was too stuffy when cleaning out. Time will tell if i done the right thing.

Thanks Guys. I knew this one would please you Austin. They were all the same but sadly had to go. Look after them as they cannot be reproduced. As Mick says they were all crackers each one of them. I just hope the travelling did not effect them too much. Best regards Eamon.

Thinking of you and your family Paul. RIP

Beautiful day in N Ireland. Birds out for baths.
