Listen, thats the first thing I do on my way up to the loft, this was told to me by a good old fancier long gone now bless him. He said you should be able to tell if all is well inside the lofts before you even see the birds,even if it's dark they will hear you coming and some will call inside the loft esp if they are tame.

There is an article on elimar, just been reading on a NRCC man,Peter Crawford, that might be of interest? This is what he says:- Also if you want a good one for respiration, use some cayenne pepper. Put some oil on the food and use some of the pepper, a couple of times a day, and that will clear the tubes out as clean as a whistle

What?!!! He gave you a Red, I'm supposed tae huv first refusal on the Red Yins!!! Hope it does you a good turn too.

RIP

Thanks for all the replies guys. I have been told much the same as above, asking around the lads I know.The end is 6ft wide and deep,maybe it needs to be wider to keep them calm? Lewis you can get in the auld yins dookits at any time, you only have tae ask?!!! If you want tae see 12yr old malt deep litter there's no finer!!! lol.

Ok thanks I might have a look on there.

Was thinking of changing one of the sections of loft,to neatboxes on each side so as I can put in a window to let in more light and warm it up a bit as its very cold in the winter and cool in the summer. Anyone able to advise the pros and cons of doing this? Thanks, W.D.

Not sure, but think there might be a couple of famous Hofkins? Is there not also a Karel Hofkins?

Well done to all, and especially John Mulhern 2x 1st Fed flying well off the the line of flight.

I was very interesred to read this post and the replies. Noticed that my birds were leaving a lot of maize this year amd just put it down to my being too heavy handed with it, but a clubmate also remarked on the same thing and that his wouldn't eat the pellets also which they used to no problem. We were both feeding Superstar from V/L at the time.Now prior to him starting to feed the V/L Mix he was doing great on the sprints feeding just C/W Irish with some Dep or Barley added,then when he changed over to V/L for the longer races his results just got worse.He then changed feed as the season came to an end but it was too late by then.

Thats great thanks, will get in touch with him. 2nd line of address says Yarrow Valley? Took this down over the phone so I may be wrong?

Does anyone have a phone number for M. Makarus Selkirk, as the one given to my dad by SHU is of no use anymore? Thanks W.D.

Great Location too by the looks of it.

Anyone able to help a mate has a Scottish bird in, ets and a rubber on?
