Good morning all.

Happy birthday.

I don't know how your test works, but is there any possibility you have it wrong? I had to take a sample of 5 days droppings and sent them to Retford for them to test.

Once a day just now, but twice a day or more during the racing season.

Happy birthday Ian.

Good morning all.

In a lot of secretary's jobs, when the rest are on holiday, the secretary still has work to do. It is a year in year out job, but it is easier now than it was then, in some ways. Modern technology has brought about easier contact and therefore in some cases increased the workload, but I'm not complaining although my wife does.

I remember watching them doing the maths. :D

I do!!! It is still less than it used to be. I've been a secretary for over 30 years in one organisation or another, so I do appreciate the work, but if you undertake to do the job then you should do the job.

Danny, the computer does the work nowadays, the secretary doesn't have as much to perform in the way of working out velocities etc.

I've never won a Club ticket, let alone a Fed ticket, but when I do it will mean something. Both clubs that I fly in are able to do very well in the Feds, so I have my target. If I never win a ticket, it will be because I am not a good enough manager of my pigeons. That seems plain and simple enough to me. Why should I have some right to winning a ticket when others who have a pigeon before me don't win a ticket? The pigeon racing game is one full of small minded deluded people who think they have some sort of God given right to win something. If we continue to split and water down our product, then the wins will have no value whatsoever. Better to win a ticket that has merit than to win one with no meaning whatsoever. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, but not by walking away.

Happy birthday.

Good morning all.

A bright and cheery morning here in East Ayrshire.

Why don't you make the front of your loft 24 feet and depth 6 feet. If future extension was required it could back onto existing loft and thus your 12 foot 'length' would be taken up, but as a width, whereas your 24 foot 'width' would be your length. 24 x 6 foot loft would give you four 6 x 6 foot sections.

Happy birthday.

Good morning all.

Welcome to the site.

No question is daft. If you are not breeding until the end of season then your young birds will be yearlings the following season when you first race them. Most would advise you to train them in the year of their birth, however, after this if you still have an excess amount and no space to keep them, then you would have to sell, give them away or cull.

Sprint up to 200 miles, middle up to 400 miles and distance to 500+ miles, some say marathon over 700 miles, roughly speaking. Depends on your situation which you decide, family life etc. Sprint and middle are one day races, the others can stretch into 2 or more days. The racing systems for each type of racing also varies and you should find a system that suits your lifestyle, then stick to it.
