They have Tic beans in front of them all day. When I say 1/4 oz each of trapping mixture this is in addition to what they're fed.

Looks like its going to go tits up by Saturday as per usual

At the moment they're getting approx 1/4 oz trapping mix each a day, on a Thursday & Friday I'll also give them 1/4 oz of maize each if they're going to go of to a race that week. lol I do love a dabble

lol both Jimmy's

Thanks Jimmy, are you saying a little barley/wheat/maize a day wouldn't go amiss.

I’ve always raised an eyebrow when I've heard fanciers saying they race their pigeons on Tic beans so the doubting Thomas in me thought why not give it a go and prove it to myself one way or the other and see if this feeding regime can actually give results in this day and age against all the fancy fandango feeds on the market. I have a team of naturals that I set out for the distance races which this year will be hopper fed beans and given a little trapping mixture as a treat. Will I get any creditable results feeding like this? Watch this space lol

Nominate 10 birds in club, anything over the 10 just race for fed honours.

Was the original schedule made a minute? If so I believe a special meeting has to be called to rescind a minute.

its falls between a flug and a hlug ;D

A good glug of Malt Vinegar in their bathwater.

Its hard enough winning races when the pigeons are 100% healthy, cant see the point in sending them if anything less.

Waiting on 3, no doubt gone over.

They fell in

Dagenham Essex, blue skies N/N/E wind. Good luck to all basics members for the 2009 season. Lets race

She seems to have a personality to match her voice, good luck to her and I hope she goes on to win it.

Have a good'un gooner

Newark 114 mile

Yep! time to get them moving, 23 w/h cocks + 9 natural cocks.

I got a Sth Lincs pigeon in (multible winner)Tuesday from your race, like the London pigeons from Sunday they're scattered far and wide.

I've two drinkers per section which are alternated, one in use the other washed and left it to dry. Water changed twice per day so the drinker I take out in the morning is cleaned and left to dry then is used in the afternoon.

Your right about the newt, I just looked at the recipe again, it says eye-ball of a newt..... I somehow missed reading the eye bit and just read the ball bit.
