Thanks for the advice. After taking another look. The damp is caused by coming up through the floor, so the next thing for me to do is move the loft by a few feet and raise it.

At the moment the floor of my loft is brushed with loft white and them has a light sprinkling of sawdust all over. I find that this clumps together alot in damp areas in the corner of my loft and doesnt dry out that much. Does anyone reccomend using straw on the floor instead?

Hi Tommy, Your feed is normal wild bird seed. Try that stuff from the feed place in Happisburgh, I get mine from there, friendly people and low prices. Just ask for Pigeon economy mix.

I use grit. And what is field? I dont use linseed. Yeah, thats what I use. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Every once in a while my birds seem to be producing terracotta coloured dropping? Is this normal? What colour should there droppings be? Thankyou

Hi Tommy, Remember what happened to the 15 or so pigeons I was given when I started off? I think you might be better of breeding from them as theyre already paired up.

Thanks guys.

Hi, I'm about to order some telephone rings from Lambournes. Do i have my home number on the rings, mobile number or club number. I'm very new to this sport and my first race is at the weekend, so how long do these orders usually take? Thankyou very much.

So is it wise to throw the egg away, if i still have a chance of sitting?

Tis not possibles in a loft as small as mine

Im not sure, but it could even be the pair that was in my loft before. The cock (from what i've heard) should be sitting in the day, but is very young. This is probly why it is not sat on.

Ok thanks guys, Any idea why they arent sitting?

I got 2 pairs for breeding yesterday to add to my loft which already has 2 pigeons in. Walked into the loft this morning (i havent placed nestboxes, bowls, or nest material in there) and there is a single egg in the corner, without a pigeon sat on it. What do i do????

Good ideas, thanks
