a friend of mine topped the up north combine last year westy with a cross like that

we have never been much into the distance but i think it would be best attempted with hens which have just layed their first set of eggs of that year ??

THAT TREE AS COST ME A FEW RACES MEALY BAR

i would say on return from race just given bowls before going they basket a lot better all there training was done to nestbowl .week before first race cocks are given bowl for 3 short training spins of 12miles then on fourth day cocks given bowl for ten minutes taken 12miles and on return will find there hens.As it has been said a lot of nervous energy is lost before a race

we use kiln dried sand as it has been dried at hihg tempeture nothing is alive in it and it never goes damp in a bag we just sprinkle a couple of handfuls about the loft floor after we have cleaned out daily.

we treat for worms and canker4 weeks before coupling birds and treat again for canker when all pairings have been sitting for approx 5 days we use rondizole 10% for 5 days for worms we use a panacur then when youngsters are weaned and hens removed after about 3-5days we will have droppings tested and we will then treat accordingly.

i built these myself out of bits and bobs the large loft with the two double doors is the widowwood loft with the stock loft running off it and the yb loft next to it

snowy i am new to this forum i started keeping pigeons when i was 9 tipplers a neighbour of my mother kept racing birds he used to let me watch them return from racing that is when i caught the bug and that was 24 years ago and i now race with my son and i like it just as much now!

nice little site you have going there snowy

i was told to give natural sea salt on return for youngsters from races this proved to be good advice as it replenishes and flushes birds system?
