Roland did hear through the grapevine (so take with a pinch of salt) that all wooden crates will have to be varnished to fall in line with DEFRA. Wouldn't this have the same affect.

By the look of the pic the BICC use them.

Happy Birthday Rose (belated) :B Hope you had a good'un ;D

I second this.

I've read a few articles on the pros & cons of giving pigeons electrolytes after a race, some vets say its a waste of time and in fact you are doing more harm than good by administering them after a race. Their argument is that pigeons don't lose salts as they cant 'sweat'. By giving them electrolytes after the race you are overloading their body's with salts, doing the reverse of the desired affect your after.

500 members! That's some size. Are there any feds in the UK that can match or better the size of that ?

Looks a cracker Wiley.

I've come across this twice and on both occasions the cocks were nest pairs. In both cases one of the cocks turned out to be an exceptional racer.

Any different shadows hitting your lofts this time of year ?

Blue stars Webmaster must feel a peace keeping force is needed ;D ;D

Do you get the same ratio of good breeding cocks to hens ?

How many pads do you get for your £449 PIGEON_MAN

£11,000 barrier hurdled, wonder how many people are holding something back for the run in should be a lively old finish to a great event.

I see a lot of photos posted on here of stock cocks not so many of stock hens. That begs the question, what do you value more, a good breeding cock or good breeding hen? Your thoughts please.

I would like to hear Raymond's views on vaccinating against Paratyphoid. Does he vaccinate?

T2's & T3's need their batteries replaced every 5 years I think it is, if its due a new one it could end up costing you around another £50 or so.

The way I do it is the babies are fed the same feed as their parents minus the small grains/seeds once a day. Once they are filling their crops I start to feed twice a day, pellets in the morning breeding mix in the afternoon.

Well you know that film Birdman of Alcatraz, see the film, read the book, dont intend to wear the T-shirt

lol my advise is if ya get a tap on ya shoulder is............run, them taps on ya shoulder are normally followed by a ''your nicked''

I would think 'head tilt' is a term to help discribe one of the symptoms of salmonella, another term used is 'star gazing'.

I agree with what Pompey Mick

If you belong to a club that's in 2 feds (fed A & fed and you only wish to race in fed A and have no intentions of racing or nominating pigeons in fed B, do you have to pay fee's to be a member of fed B ?
