I can only post what i was told .

According to Our convoyer your birds didnt clear too well, milling around in the distance for a while

Ayrshire got a decent race IMO from Otterburn Liberating at 10.30 19/26 here but no complaints

Kilmarnock 4 members sent 79 birds to Otterburn with Ayrshire Fed.

Ayrshire Feds Race Programme was voted for on the premis that we would be Joint Convoying with Glasgow and or others from Retford on excluding the SNFC races. also I believe to the final 2 YB races where a joint race was supposidly going to be tried out, where we are at this stage is unknown to me , I dont know if federation officials have met again to further this aim.

2nd largest membership fed in Scotland is Ayrshire get your facts right oh and we have our own transporter.

The list is long and endless I honestly think its more to do with whoever is racing them and their methods than the strain of the birds

Mick Hilland 07745764422 should be able to help you out.

Used it a few years ago to cure very bad Salmonella / E coli infection , it knocks hell out the birds for a week or so , some didnt survive either the infection or the medication, those that did had no lasting effects , but use sparingly and remember to use a good pro biotic afterwards as it also kills good bacteria as well.

Ah well if my moneys no good enough, lol only noticed it was a breeder buyer after I posted.

do you have an address?

Your right george, same scenario, my ets pad is inside the loft inside bob wires the birds have to physicaly cross the pad to be registered.

What about , where a veranda is present, the ETS pad could be fitted under the veranda roof and is technically inside the loft , but the bird could be timed while sitting at the trap not inside the loft.

Happy Birthday Alex.

Happy Birthday Andy

Thanks folks , dont feel a day over 90

Tragic. may all rest in peace.

had the same problems last year, we put cheap plastic roofing sheets from B&Q up £7 a sheet,not expecting it to last the winter but here we are in March and after the early storms its still in one piece and the loft bone dry
