Wiley

Archie I believe he puts the eggs in the incubator and allows the original parents to sit pot eggs, and when they hatch he puts them under the parents, it makes sure no eggs get smashed ect, and you can also see if the eggs are fertile without disturbing the nest

Ive seen Gevaert Van Schoorise uses an incubator does anyone know if you can use just a normal chicken incubator?

Anyone have any idea how to transfer Irish Homing union rings, i have the ring cards, do i just send these off to the RPRA??

you can have two good ones with a terrible pedigree also

Green you can pair the greatest looking pedigreed pigeons however it doesn't mean they will breed you winners or good pigeons, so anyone cannot really say to much on your post to be honest. However all i can say is alot of the top Campuis birds you hear of today are related to the Wonderboys 05, and 06. An article is below just out of interest http://floringatejescu.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/camphuis2.pdf

lol never see that it said 2010 :emoticon-0136-giggle:

http://www.2ndchance.info/gout.htm ^^Good article on gout in birds, however i wouldnt like to say what actually is the problem, could it be the hen has got to a certain age where some do and her legs have thickened requiring her ring to be cut?? There could be many answers however i wouldnt want to put my finger on it,

always thought the jonge rocket was a cock bird? The words TOP Kweeker, Kweeker means breeder and Top Duiven are what the belgiums call some of there top breeders Duiven means hen so would suggest the mother of your bird was one of the breeders top breeding hens.Witpen is what you call a white flighted bird, Lt Kras is a Blue chequer or a light chequer. Jonge means young or babys jonge rocket suggests the bird was a good racer as a young bird. Birds are often named after there colour such as in your case the Blauw, meaning the Blue bar. Going through the ring numbers would suggest many of the birds in the pedigree come from the province of Luik ring numbers starting with 1, and a few come from the province of Antwerp ring numbers starting with 6. And there is a couple from Brabant ring numbers starting with 2. Janssen Brothers came from Arendonk, which is in the Antwerp province, so the ring number for your Jonge Rocket could never have came from them as all there ring numbers start with the number 6. All the best

lol depends on how many birds you got i know one fancier who goes through a bag every 2 days

gem ruby

Can anyone be any help with or where to obtain fantail hen

What you got to think is the saturday just gone means there is 6 weeks left to racing actually kicks off for most federations in the UK. For many training old birds isn't for just blowing the cobwebs off them, they want to really get them fit, thats fine, but to do it successfully they have to pick there days, If i was to start training now, i would look for the days where the temp is above 10 degrees, and that there is no east in the wind at all. Now if that meant they got one toss, then had to wait 5 days for the next one then so be it, but the days would have to be ideal, the old bird season is a long one, and those training in those east winds, might be good for the first couple of races, but there season could be over before they know it

My young birds would be on a maize only for 3 days after weaning, and the following 3 days just maples, to encourage the birds to eat large grains, they will then go onto something like breed and wean until they start perching then they will go on a good diet mix, plenty of fatty seeds.

Why did you throw them out if you felt it wasn't a health problem :mellow:

i never look up and never have looked up the rspb, and its there for me also, will be more careful what i say on here from now on!!

don't think you can knock there grains i always find them very clean

i've done it upto 14 days but the chances start to becomne slimmer after day 10 i have noticed

hopefully its going to be MESSI at the Emirates :spurs:

seems very common really peeing me off to be frank

:spurs: :spurs: :spurs:

Dragoon looks a cracking pigeon breed

Spurs i feel will struggle we are missing to many influential players, if those players were fit, i feel we could have won the tie over two legs
