hens trap into cocks nestbox section all week, including friday morning then let into the cocks on friday teatime before basketing for about 5 mins of the boil ;D ;D

wish i had a buzzard above my lofts everytime birds are out

no problems here

can i vote twice ;D ;D ;D

done

just looking at your youngsters mate, no need to worry

hi ken, are we on about y/birds or old birds mate, if old then personally i dont think you need to let them out before you go training mate but if young birds get them out before they go to take the daftness out of them and they will break better also get them in right away when they come home then leave till next day, routine

congratulations paul on being a grandad again mate

half and half mate untill young chip out

welcome mate, hope your thick skinned ;D ;D ;D

What you have to remember the sport has moved on a huge amount back in the 60's 70's three were very little birds on the day from 400 miles agree with this statement, these days people are clocking for fun but years ago you were lucky to get one on the day

welcome to pigeon basics william, enjoy it mate

well reared y/birds martin

welcome to the site mate, enjoy

get them out as soon as pos, i moved my lofts in 93 as soon as everything was put back to normal i let them out, they kept going back to the original location which was a mile away as well all day back and forward, they were out all night but when i looked out of the window first thing they were all flying around the loft, i went out and shouted of them and they dropped in, i had to send them as trainers that week till my new measurements came through, what im saying is the birds new that it was there loft, the same one they were in at the other location, think about it, what did they do in the war, moving the loft about

i leave the pans out untill the 3rd day

Granulated Floorcovering (Anti-Coccidiosis) Natural Granulated Floorcovering is a natural product consisting of lava drawn from the subsoil. The treatment and the granulation of this particularly porus substance offer it an exceptional absorbing power: 1kg of granules can easily absorb 1 litre of water. Thanks to this the Granulated Floorcovering guarantees perfect hygiene in the loft. When the pigeons droppings fall on the granules, they dry in no time, which stops the contamination cycle by parasites. The use of Granulated Floorcovering pratically stops maturation of the oocysts of coccidiosis and of the eggs of the ascarids. Moreover the granules absorb the smell of the droppings. It can stay in the loft for one year provided it is raked weekly. When the granules and droppings are removed from the loft they can be used as excellent fertilizer in the vegetable and flower garden. Natural Granulated Floorcovering - a bag of 20kg covers 1.5 m2

if your new to the sport mate why not have a go at the roundabout system first and see how things go, im sure you will get one or two pairing on together after a few weeks, not only cocks but a few lesbian hens as well which will be very hard to beat when right
