Hatchling

Hatchling (3/8)

  1. Pigeon chat still off .must be a big pproblem
  2. I got a y/bird stray in my loft 2 years ago and i reported it . The owner was the fancier involved. I did not race y/birds in 08 just trained to 40 miles . last year this pigeon won for me 2nd club Thurles 3rd club Clonmel !st club Bude 4th club Penzance I hope Paul will keep up with his performances and do well in the nationals if anyone wants to beat him in club racing they are going to have to work a lot harder
  3. I also have a gap at back of loft and have three foot louvers running the full lenght of the front of the loft . no way will i ever close off the airflow as fresh air costs nothing and stale air causing health problems (to pigeons and fanciers) will cost you a lot . I remember a long time ago an article written by "Old Hand" in one of the pigeon papers that the best loft consisted of three wire walls and a solid back and roof plenty of free fresh air ,bloom blown away no PFL no draughs healthy pigeons .
  4. Very nice .What software are you using?
  5. I had them in the early seventies They flew realy well never sent them further than Penzance(306 miles) I do not think there would be many about now as most would have been crossed into other strains and crossed again over the years
  6. Racing from Tullamore all go at the moment but forcast iffy wnw wind showers some heavy
  7. at those prices it is worth a gamble if you are lucky they might be still fertile only takes one pair of young birds to cover outlay
  8. i had the same trouble last week deleted cookies problem solved

    2009 rings

    i think louella uses mnfc rings on their early bred pigeons as these come out in dec
  11. good job done these are the same as terry mc carthy uses for his roundabout birds
  12. which strain of pigeon did you get of F&A Tasker
  13. slug pellets will poison your pigeons if picked up by the birds if you put down a layer of gravel around the lofts the slugs will not cross it
  14. good posting pj hope we get some answers we are in senen cove 306mls with the infc held over last 2 days i think the committee are a bit nervious on letting go forcast for tommorrow fair so heres hoping for a good race
