Post-traumatic stress disorder.

I’d rather sit through a tornado on a mountain top than go shopping with the wife.

Well done Alf & Steve.

Perfect here, very light west wind

Circovirus, Rotavirus, Adinovirus.... pigeons go light and take days to die. Herpesvirus..... pigeons that seemingly look ok just drop from the perches dead. A Streptococcal Infection could be another cause of a quick death.

West Essex fed at Retford, sending 17 w/h cocks & a few naturals

*Daily ration that should be

Feed 3/4 of their ration on Thursday, 1/2 ration Friday fed at their normal am feeding time. Anything with corn still in its crop come basketing dont send.

Thanks chichichi/pjc

Could someone please put a post on here what time the birds are libbed or held over if thats the case. I know big birdage is sent to this race and I can see trainers/ young bird teams getting mixed up with them if were not careful. Thanks. Good luck to all who send.

There was a bit of moisture in the air early this morning but its now as clear as a bell. (I'm about 5 miles east of the flats).

Conditions this end are excellent, have a good race all.

Very high cloud with a few breaks, dry. Light W/N/W wind.

My preference is Beyers Olympiade

They're fielding. Next time you let them out put a bit of jam on the bottom of a pigeons foot and see what it brings back. lol some smart *expletive removed* will say a slice of toast so I'll get in before they do

22/23 from Dunbar 327 miles, was a struggle though.

LNRC up at 6:45 from Dunbar in a light N/E wind

My w/hood & young bird lofts have a 4-6 inch layer of Easibed on the floor, perches/boxes cleaned daily. My natural loft I scrape out twice a day. The reason I dont use Easibed in the natural loft is the droppings the hens deposit after sitting on the nest all night dont break down to well.

Racing from Dunbar with the London North Road Combine, 327 miles. Sent 23.

Fantastic performances, hope there's more to come.
