weirbridge lofts

i think with gift birds you get no lies and probably the correct sex lol

welcome

just had a telephone call from the pigeon club where they have applied and he has got some rings for them.

they only have 2 young ones flying out at the moment what there mum bought them but have just had some hatch out of the stock pigeons they have bought.

we are fairly new to the forum too i raced myself a few years ago but its my two sons who have the bug now. welcome to the forum and best of luck this year with your young bird racing.

hi doo boy are you a new starter too?

she did look a good hen though on there site lol

hi thanks craig we are near catterick village richmond north yorkshire. will try contact louella again see what happens.

thanks the only problem i have is that my local club is in the NEHU and was just struggling to get the rings for the next few days as there youngsters have hatched. thanks for the advice

yes that was my thoughts the so called hen was 3 years old and im sure they have had pigeons enough years to be able to sex a 3 year old bird i would of fully understood and accepted the mistake even if had been a yearling. my sons are only 12 and 13 and cannot believe they havent even had a reply. they spent there first money on pigeons at a entire clearance sale not so long ago and spent quite a bit of money which they had saved for a long time, there was a couple of pigeons that had been left at the home of the seller and at the end of the sale the auctioneer made a gift of a cheq pied hen that had not been sold and told the seller that he would pay for the carriage, they went out and also bought a cock to go to this hen that they are still waiting for to this day, people wonder why new young fanciers dont want to come into the sport.

just like to ask if anyone could spare 10 rings as the club that they have applied hasnt had there meeting yet so they have no rings to ring there babies will pay for them and the carriage if anyone can help thanks

my two sons are very happy this week after a small setback. there first 2 young birds have hatched out of a pair of van rijns. there set back was they spent all there savings on a pair of van der rhee pigeons from louella they thought they were etting a bargain as the hen was listed at 450 and they got her for 150 and the cock was also reduced, both 2006 pigeons they thought they had a good pair. anyway after a few days together all they did was fight so were seperated and put into the aviary where the one we believed was hen started chasing other hens. so the pair they thought they were getting as a bargain turn out to be two cocks. i emailed louella 3 weeks ago and have not recieved any reply. wont be going back there again. so they have two lovely spare cocks.

thanks sher

just to add we arent bothered about the breed of the cock we want to buy as long as its sprint to middle distance.

just wondered if anyone knows how these are doing . our first stock pigeons are of this strain. have won races themselves but just wondered if there doing it for anyone else. also looking to buy a stock cock to go to a spare hen we bought. hopefully a 1st prizewinner in fed or multiple first prizewinner if anyone knows of one for sale thanks

the cock sparrow hawk will not attempt to take out a pigeon but it will share a feed . why bother with plastic eagle owls when you can pick a real one up just as cheap and they can live side by side if young birds are brought up around them.

thanks everyone hopefully our new loft will be here in three weeks and i think the the nearest club is in richmond north yorkshire just have to find contact details now.

well still got no reply from the rpra or anyone to help us find our local club or fed. i cant even find a local fancier.

thanks will email her now

thanks for the welcome they are 12 and 13 im looking to buy a new loft asap so can get them started for the young bird season. just bought bhw to see if there is any new lofts in there. they have no pigeons yet but hopefully will be able to get them as soon as we have arranged the loft. was going to buy a couple of pairs of stock birds if we can find a club so they can get some rings.

hi just joined the site today as my sons are wanting to start keeping racing pigeons. i used to race myself so will be helping them along lol we have moved to this area catterick village north yorkshire DL10 but not sure of which club or federation we are in the radius for. also any ideas where to buy a pigeon loft in the area any help ? thanks
