Thats what the SPORT is all about .....Top Gesture Brian !!

A great deal are lost due to ill health , Salmonella , etc .

Takes an Irish Man to sort that out !!!!

If You remove the eggs IMMEDIATELY YOU SEE THE HEN LAY !! , they will be viable for months if kept cool & turned daily , (put in an egg carton & turn the whole carton) . You need to remove the egg from under the Hen as soon as She lays & before the egg strikes ! I have kept eggs this way right through Winter ...one Year I took 12 & hatched 10 , this is about average anyway . PM Me if You are unsure . Steve...

The late Harry Webster had the Finest Busschaerts in England (direct) & He had odd ones in this colour . Steve..

Check Your P.M s See what You think . Steve...

Mickey Collins ?

Roland , thats some Secretary You have there !! how did You enjoy Haworth & did You try the Chippy ? Steve..

Thanks for the great answers.. Reason Im looking for something other than the whistle is , No-one to call the Birds in from training , I could educate them to the light & leave it running whilst I am down the road ....cant wake the neighbours . Any more suggestions ? Steve..

After reading one of the "Champions of the World" Books recently , I have been considering the use of a Flashing Orange Light as described therein to call My 2008 Young Birds into the Loft from exercise, training , etc ...have any Forum Members tried anything like this ? Conclusions , opinions or better constructive comment would be appreciated ? Steve..

Spot on Roland !!!!

Will You be racing next Year ?

As I am considering E.T.S for the coming Season can Any Forum Member give an opinion regarding the above please ? Do the Widowhood Cocks trap as quickly as Open Door , or has Anyone another Method they are prepared to discuss , pictures if possible ? Steve....

Thank You Bruno . What do You consider a suitable replacement to Duramitex ?

What do Forum Members reccomend for soaking or spraying the Stock Loft out with prior to pairing up time ...I used to use Alugan or a similar name but have not seen it this last while ? Steve..

Thanks for that . Ill get some organised later Today .. Steve...

Can a Forum Member please give Me the optimum spacings between V-Perches please , i.e : head height , distances between 2 (Sideways, allowing for a Plywood divider ) ..this to keep My Hens from pairing to each other .. thanks in advance . Steve....

Roland at the foot of the hill down the main cobbled Street is a chip shop . Best fish & chips ive tasted !! Have a nice break . Steve....

Roland , Whilst having respect for Your standpoint regarding E.T.S , I will now apply YOUR logic in My response , regardless if E.T.S gives an advatage or not , lets explore a scenario together .....Let us imagine You have decided to invest in a Super Breeding Pair during the Winter months....You have done Your Homework , You realise these Birds are the way forward , Purchase them at great cost , breed 6 Youngsters from them .....WOW !!! they are running rings around the rest in training ...cant seem to lose them !! , No one can live with these !! ..... agreed up to now ? Here comes the dillema , do I now inform the Club Officials I have bred some Champions in the making ....I THEREFORE INSIST THAT THE CLUB PENALISES ME 17 SECONDS TO "LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD" ?......using Your logic , dont forget Sir ! Alternatively Members considering buying fresh Stock need to consult the Club Officials for fiscal penalties to be applied depending on Loft Position , Partneship , etc ...i.e Club decides Where You purchase from , how much You spend , Strain You may buy , ete , etc ... Alternatively have You ever insisted that You be penalised 17 seconds over the Old Man with arthiritis down the road when You know He will pip You in a race if You do so ? I think You can see the absurdity in the above , I dont have E.T.S by the way ...may get it ..may not , But which ever way cant for the life of Me see why I ought to be dictated /brow beaten by certain peoples attitude . You strike Me as an intelligent & principled individual & I hope You can see that this post is not an attack on Yourself , by the same token My opinion is equally deserving of respect . Lets get back to enjoying the Pigeons .

Leslie Madden , Coleraine has to be up there .

I would have thought they would all have the E.T.S , that would be the object of applying for a grant .

James Lelie Madden (Coleraine Kingpin) . Please see previous post .

I have spoken to a Friend of mine who has taken over the agency for Mega-Star , He has given Me permission to forward His details , He will Not let You down . MADDEN1@talktalk.net 02870 -344 -153 . 0773655441 . Steve...
