good idea though i think will made people think before giving there birds drugs as you never know which basket is gonna be tested & if the results show they have been use of drugs i suppose they can then imform the club then do there own test at club level & by only testing 1 basket by only testing one basket in the whole transporter keeps the cost down for all clubs in that fed

ive never known then to cxl a race it just saves a day in the basket the forecast has to be realy bad for them to delay the the race if theres any chance of a race they will go fridays as normal

we dont cxl the race we just delay the race for 1day to stop a hold over!!!

we payed markers 35p per loft per week they were guys who are retiered therefore more time to arrange baskets & stuff they were members yes

weather does look dodgy showers/light rain at 90% with west wind down south turning to north/west further north weather i saw yesterday for the weekend looked good but on here very little chance!!! saying that look at last week looking at the forecast there was no chance & think most had a good race!! if the wather looks bad for sat our club will cxl & basket sat for a sunday race if weather looks better

good points raised like someone said you cant make them turn up if thre are no rules also as they fly in another club they may have rules in place hence they go there also with a father & son partnership it can be hard to be in 2 places at once. think in every club you have people who do more than others but thats pigeon racing for you!! we use to have about 6/8 markers who do the marking every week & they get the marking money at end of seaon this worked realy well now with being a club geting more pompetativewe all muck in & some members like to put other peoples birds in to see how they handle ect

what sort of drugs you talking about

what are the symtoms of respirtaory problems dont think ever seen it

yeah saw weather forecast at lunch time looks ok with west wind

yeah forecast doesnt look promising thunderstorms!!!

yeah it does well i add extra peanuts towards the end of week no the distance is increasing also when they usually go off there food they will always eat peanuts they love em

do not show there hens as this will result them to sulk if they still fit & flying well theres nothing wrong with them do you have peanuts as mine always eat them if they go off there food

i would let em out as normal are they eating ok? but do not let them out friday at all!!!!

well if there all on it he claims & hes not doing anything maybe frankly his birds are not good enough simple as that

now the distance increases time to pair the hens up as always have results this way as still have there fitness still fly an hour in morning & later go training & still trap on this system give the cocks run for there money!!!

its same on friday when it comes to basketing the cocks here you arrive at the loft then start going mad as they know that somthing differebt gonna happen as apose to letting em out for there evenings exercise

i dont want to fill my birds with antiboitics so what does one do to copete at the highest level where enhancing products are used how can they be stopped & what products are banned?

well that starts from being in the nest & then to follow it up after weaning

i remember when all birds use to have was corn (prince) & plain water & now look what there is!!! & think most in our club are on all sorts heard things like transform,red cell,detox stuff, and antibotics what are normal flyers like my self to do to compete when all i use is good corn bucktons & gerrie plus with multivits a couple of days along electrolytes on sun

what i mentioned about starts right from the nest when ever i feed my old birds i blow a whistle the yb soon learn that this means food!! as from then when ever i blow the whistle they must be given food after weaning i feed them in the basket again blowing the whistle they soon learn to basket them selves when all in i close the flaps 40 birds in the basket in less than 30 seconds i make my birds tame from being in the nest then after weaning sit with them while feeding geting use to your hands & movements ect regarding the whistle this also works when birds are out flying couple of blows of the whistle & they are all in the loft

fair comment about catching them & to see if they feel ok,but if they are flying theres nothing wrong with em basketing them selfs saves time when you have over 40 to catch! they are very tame i can pick any of them up without chaseing this is done from young being in the nest then sitting with them from being weaned

yeah prettey easy realy send yo a pvt mge will tell you all
