big blue bar

Same problem here too redchequer, bought in new stock 4 pair and two hen which I paired to my onw stock ,so the big plan was to pair them all up together 28 Dec and float the eggs from the stock birds under some of the widows , well first four eggs from the new stock (which are yearlings and a two year old hen) all blank and one off the other hens I brought in paired to my own cock her first egg broken ,the other got crushed in the nest expletive remove , Only let them sit 5-6 days so they laid again pretty quick and they all seem to be full this round ,fingers crossed .Can't explain it ,last year every egg hatched that was laid last year ,maybe is the weather or the section they were in wasn't the biggest so maybe not getting piece to do there business. Never known a year like this it's maybe a sign of things to come

Matter of interest where are you? This bird was racing from lauder, are you far from there and is there's bops in the area?

Thanks for letting me know, this one of our birds from last Saturday, only one that was missing, I'll let my father know. His address is 14 selbie place Gourdon Dd100lt, Thanks again it's good to know what comes of the ones that don't come home David Hay

I was surprised that they didn't want to come in straight away, instead they flew around for 15-20 min after and came in no problem ,make me feel that this isn't the first time

Took half the team for a trainer yesterday and let the other half out at the loft ,My old man phones to tell me that a peregrine has scattered the birds at the loft , he said they were diving into the trees and bushes that are around the gardens near the loft, one missing, ,he's never witnessed anything like this in all the years keeping pigeons and guess what the basser was back tonight dived into them but never got any today ,after that attack I watched it hover over them until a gull moved it on ,think it could be a youngster looking for a easy meal with no success tonight expletive remove this is the future off racing pigeons WHAT HOPE HAVE WE GOT , think our game is #ucked

plastic clip ring
