Out of curiosity how much did the couriers charge from Barcelona LOL

I would just like to congratulate Casbri on getting a bird from Barcelona 840 miles although just out of race time but still an achievment well done

I was going to send but then i heard that Casbri was sending so thought no point me sending as his going to beat me anyway plus his mob flying Good luck to all the brave pigeons going to this race also to the fanciers who have put in the time and effort & patience preparing these birds for the last 3 or so years

I was told a few years ago that pulling a cock from another cocks nest box and hitting or throwing him does no good as the rogue or dominant cock has to turn and his back on the cock that owns the box and either be forced out by cock whose box it is or give up ground and leave dont know if this is true but he did say dunk dominant cock in bucket of water for a few seconds so he is short of breathe then the cock who owns box has the upper hand and once the dominant cock is forced out by other cock he wont return

Sorry for late reply Oldyellow yes i never race ybs just a few training tosses then jump them as yearlings

I will start training this week mainly yearlings not raced as ybs thier first race is 9th May 222 miles from fourgeres

I thought that Barley was only grain to contain all 8 essential amino acids read it in feed to win heres a little tip i learnt myself when weaning youngsters keep a watch on thier eyes if any youngsters eyes start looking like thier squinting or eyes not fully open it is a sign of dehydration normally due to not drinking a quick dunk of the beak in water is needed

Theres 4/5 i havent taken pics of John as they are a couple of days younger and not really feathered so i hope you dont mind waiting til they come up before you see them
