  2. I'm 16/17 from Kelso n/west fed have never seen so few birds crossing over on a race day,must have seen about 25 all day a group of 3 then all 1 +2 funny race day or maybe Percy's day who knows
  3. 2/3 seasons back I was for getting out of this great hobby of ours,breed 30 young birds never trained any of them,what I did do was let them out on a Saturday after the main race birds had all went over,great for me they would go with the birds into the west for 2 + hours ,next years racing as yearlings was a night mare a2b was a no go came home when they wanted,they never lasted long.
  4. Started with 44 dropped 31 had 6 injured which happened in the early races,have started to train them with the young birds and intend to put them into the first couple of y/bird races,have not seen or heard a thing of the 31 lost birds

  9. Looks like we a clown in every street,my next door clown has put them along the top of his six foot fence to stop the birds crapping in his garden,he said that until the wild birds come with nappies the spikes stay on the fence,a right coco the clown to me.

  19. Never had any more than 34 maybe 6 late breeds ,had a problem this season with a yearling that was looked after by a non fancier for a week was taken to the fife transporter at Alnwick ,the bird got home ok at 5.25 on the Saturday ,Monday it was all the symptoms of y/bird sickness ,but it was only the yearlings that went down with it,no older birds ,yearlings were never trained or race that season as my intention was to pack in,put the ill yearling in beside the young birds they soon got over y/bird sickness this season
  20. Don't know what it is but pigeons pick up anything going never had it when I was 13/14 years old water and a vitamin that was their lot,
  21. Thanks I'm still trying to build a team of birds after that ,but it seems to be doo racing,
  22. Never seen it before billt but that's what happened,it was the most sole destroying thing that I have ever seen,
  23. Forgot to all my birds were done with colomvac
  24. About 4 years ago had a problem with the y/birds I can only blame myself as I forgot to vaccinate 1 young bird yes 1, it cost me dearly I ended up disposing of 23 birds went through them like a dose of salts,never knew what it was nor did the vet as he gave me batril ,birds dying in my hands looking at me from some funny positions on the floor never seen it before until I seen one on pmv hope I never ever come over it again as I would get rid of the lot,my Christmas Day that year was spent jagging all the birds again it was sole destroying watching what was happening in front of me
