Hatchling

Hatchling (3/8)

  1. i can remeber this years ago, i might have ago at making this up. question which is the best place to find fortified cacium concentrate race vitamin tablets.
  2. Clean the wound sticth up with normal cotton the wife uses, then gets some New Skin Germalene do it from the chemist , its like nail varnich it seals up the crop. The wound will mend its self in time.
  3. I read years ago that Athletes were injecting themselves with something (cannot remember the name) , so that they can train harder and longer without weakening their immune system This was banned because of unfair advantage, now the tic bean has this naturally in small amounts and is one of the reasons distance flyers fed them. Hopefully someone will know more on this subject. One thing I will say about pigeon racing especially for novice's is that there are many roads that lead to Rome, meaning if one fancier does things one way, someone down the road will be doing the opposite just as well as that fancier.
  4. This is a good tip, my mate went to Wickes the diy shop. And in there they sold sand bags ( without the sand ). The stitching can be picked easy enough and there you have the new lining for your basket. You may need to used more then one. They cost about 80p each. He got some string the same colour as the sacking and sowed the sacking to the basket. I think he used a bit of glue aswell, they really looked good. He put the sacking over the original old worn sacking.
  5. Does anyone know who sells the red fear brothers strain?.
  6. Ive Seen Ken Hines birds being put through in the BICC marking station and the reds which I thick are from Fear Bros strains look brilliant (something else)
  7. Nothing worse than buying a pigeon that has a good pedigree and when you receive it, it looks rubbish. Before anyone says I know looks don’t mean anything but it is nice to see and handle the pigeon and them make your mind up. At the end of the day whether it’s a good or bad looking pigeon you don’t know. There is only one way to find out if the youngsters are any good and that’s the basket test (flying them).
  8. What some fantastic looking birds (wish i had the money)
  9. The trouble with understanding eyesign is, they show you 2 hours of video of numbers of top class pigeons and their eyes. But dont show you bad ones, this would help to see the difference. is there something in the way they try to teach you, reason being there is a large percentage of fanciers that dont understand it.(they cant all be thick like me).
  10. Hi, Friend of mine wants to have 2 T3's Serviced by Linell and they are at the Doncaster Show. Question is--- Would there be anyone going there from the Reading (Berkshire) area that would take them for him?.
  11. Axe now you mentioned the name rings a bell, that was the person i think that it came from. The parents to the bird i mentioned was a present to my friend about 7 years ago and that was the name.
  12. Can anyone give me any information regarding the Pepperman strain of racing pigeon just that I have never heard of the strain, my friend had a good 500 mile on the day for 3 years running. What is the main colour (he's was a pied)
  13. Don't know how to explain this but here goes, I read somewhere that there was something natural in the tic bean which was the same as what Athletes used to inject themselves with. This helped the athletes immune system stay strong, so they could train hard and not go down with anything. (just what a bird needs when racing 9-10 hours)
  14. Higher paid people in the NHS, Councils and BBC are getting thousands of pounds bonuses Not to mention the other perks. (All paid by the public) Hopefully freedom of information will help us see what people are getting. I don’t want anyone knowing what I earn because its embarrassingly low, we should know what all people earn who work for the government along with bonuses. Bottom line is we all accept it, so why do we moan?.
