looking to buy a pair of kirkpatricks for stock at end of season,no rush, prefer birds that have been raced, maybe meet up at blackpool show, pm me what you got

most of stock birds from them are mad wild, never been handled, so dont expect them to be tame

got 2 coloured fantails, both cocks, a mealy and a red w/f, both got nice big tails, can take to blackpool, would swap for a nice gay pied racer hen

loose these out after 3 weeks and they will be gone, do you have any other broken out pigeons? i think 6 weeks at least, make sure they are very hungry

a c hughes

anyone any information on rapido?

well done, are they from Louella?

got a black stock bird off louella bred off a grandson of king of the faroes, nice bird, think will be better crossed into a good long distance hen, not keen on the barless mealies

loft 8ft square and he has 2 loft managers?

could you not keep the birds in an outside flight ? budgies are bad for the dust and if you are allergic to it you will have problems. If you pm me your email address i can put you in touch with someone who has had the same problems - it may help to share experiences.There are some expensive filters on the market but i dont think they worked for him, you could be wasting your money

wow, these sound the right stuff, better than anything at blackpool i bet, too far for me

are we talking the pretty white grizzles here or other colours? i really like the grizzles but are they any good?

thanks for replies lads, will try ivomectin

if i hold a couple of my birds flights up to the light i can see tiny little eggs against the quill of their flights.i spray my birds regular but cant seem to get rid of these, any ideas/tips?

thanks again mate, pleasure to meet you and very nice birds

they are a very old strain and i doubt anyone really has them pure now.Don't assume any old feather legged bird is a gits, a member in the club i flew in 30 years ago used to race gits very successfully and his were not feather legged

pm sent

that red cock is majestic, and a few names in the pedigree from my era, cracker

are your dogs plummer blood?

good dogs, well done Bakes, not many know the old ways

a lot of tipplers have the odd white tail feather or white flights, it does not mean they are not pure bred, i have seen loads of gordon hughes birds with white tails

thanks for reply

can you still use the old stb printers ? what is the clock most people use apart from ets?

early days yet mate, some will be home before dark hopefully and next morning, we all have to start somewhere and from memory we flew about 3 seasons before we won a race, good birds are hard to come by, regardless of how much money you spend. The season will have a few twists and turns yet.

penkridge blue sky, no wind at all, good luck to all - hope they get back safe
