it was a great programme & even the old bloke he made me laugh he reminded me of a old boy that use to race in our club not that he a shack of a loft but just his attitude & sure we all have members like that in our clubs

can they be trained whilst on darkness?

when yb gets older & geting fed hard corn give a helping hand & help feed soak corn in water then feed then give it a drink done this many times when sending parents to race

very quick time doing over 1545!! up in strong north east 3hrs 1min to do 160miles

thankyou sent you mge

bird dropped in think hes from ireland but as you can gather its not stampted any1 know any contacts in ireland

thanks for the advice keeping them a wee bit hungry does the trick they now bash straight out fly for upto an hour then when they get lower blow the whistle & they are down as before ilet rm out i throw a hand full of sead into the grass & they enjoy looking for it

they did 1900 yrds a mins 1hr 50 mins to do 120miles took 1st & 2nd well happy sky was full all home in 12 mins sent 27

soz i meant 0.1 tor 2.0 but you anwsered my question ta

that sounds a good idea tennis ball on a string will try that once they are kitting together & going strong

what dose you give em 10ml or 20ml?

i have 25 just started flying 3more just weaned all on darkness & thats my lot

think keeping em hungry will do the trick if ive tried the flag up they just move further up the roof or on another house!!!! i would love it if they just went on loft top easy to knock off but its simply not high enough for them to see around to get there bairings whatch this space will keep you posted

this is my first season on my own with a new loft in the garden the ybs are starting to fly as the loft is enclosed with trees at the back & house at the other end of garden of loft so i suppose they had to go on house to have a good look round, now when i let em out & geting quite strong on the wing they go straight up on house then strike off for a fly the problem i have is they then drop back on the house then when i blow the whistle to get em in they come down. has anyone else got or has had this problem i bought a big pole but when i reach up they simply just move further up the roof or simply go on next doors which i dont want to fall out with the neigbours shortly after just geting birds please help. ive asked my dad & he doesnt get that problem as his go on the loft roof then after a couple of times knocks em off but they get to see a full 360degrees from the loft roof hence no need for them to go on a near by house

got a mosaic cock and the nest mate is a black hen...... bred from a mosaic cock and a red cheq hen dont know where the black one came from

cheers jimmy a blues are off yours and grand children

lol i wish!!

are there many from the north in that club & is it into sections ect

i think they most defo need at least 2/3 races with 2week rest before 400mile race with plenty of training 3times per week if on natural or plenty of loft training if on widowhood

wow she lost the whole team didnt realise that pmv was still around i get my last 2ybs next weekend and will be injected shortly after ive known some to inject in the nest i think louella do this too

bicc is that the barcelons club?

which is tony darkness or no darkness? also how many weeks do you put em on for?

this year is my first season on my own over in blackpool planing to race ybs this year and dont know which club to join is anyone in the national flying club or the north west classic club or any other clubs you can advise. i will also be joining a local club to race on a weekly basis & have those details any advice will be gratefull

i have mesh doors to let them have a look out then open doors they soon come out for a wonder never leave them alone in case of that dreaded hawk now never chase them out that is there home & safe haven as they soon learn this & want em to remember when come back from a race & trap straight in

soon a they are weaned they are put in the basket for the first week or so untill all are perched up last year dad did the same & every time he put the basket in the loft & blown the whistle they would run in dead easy to basket your youngens
