aye ready

gie the corketts a phone lookin at the homing world they've won 3 this year(evil)

aye fi crimewatch(happy)(happy)

i was told the same this old boy would always take the hen i'm sure he said it was something to do with the genes

if the members had a choice to have a youngster for stock out of a national winner which would they choose the cock or the hen purely for breeding with no bull system

me personally and i know it's being talked about is to approach the snfc and duplicate the scottish central combine race into ypres and i would go one further and have the scc yearling derby on the same date/race and you could possibly bring in a few more birds for the national aswell

think you can get distance bloodlines to sprint depending on how you feed bit sprint based bloodlines i'm not so sure.me personally i've lost a lot of good birds at the distance that were sprint bloodlines because the race velocities were lower i.e longer on the wing than anticipated and i think my birds just didn't have the stamina required

a dog

she's a topper greenlands would have her in a minute

??????????????????

roundabout for me train the cocks and work the hens round the loft

only ever had 1 frank 16hrs 45mins out of brussells with the scc timed her at 10.40 pm to be 28th open a few years back she was a delbar hen i lost her of the top of the loft the following year when she was out exercising

when i was about 10 i took a blue hen up to our local show while my dad was working alomg with some others we called this hen the annie bowes hen as she was a gift from the aforementioned anyway the hen won the class and went on to win best in show the same day.broke my legs to get home and tell dad about our success only for him too go ballistic turned out the hen wasn't transferred and he ad to apologise too all the other members and they were a lot of them in those days (dissappointed)(dissappointed)

think watty mcgaffney from lesmahagow fly's these birds into the west section

just an observation babybird,glad you agree i think your birds will be a lot happier (ok)

is it open to anyone

you don't have to throw them away when you pair up put the nest bowl on top of them it allows the air to circulate around the bowl but obviously i don't know how your nest boxes are set up

yes right to the floor mines been in for about 18 yrs you'll maybe find it on the net

personally i don't think birds like standing on grills look at your 1st photo babybird 3 of the 5 birds are standing on the perch rather than the grill but apart from that looks good

my racing loft is isulated with 2 inch thick polystyrene back, 2 sides and half way up on the front and has been for years with no unwanted visitors

me anaw i'm away from 7.30 in the morning till 6.15 at night manage to get home at dinnertime for 15 mins to feed and water them tho' doesnt do them any harm tho'
