  1. but you have to take in consideration, people also bred alot later, hence the reason they went the whole programme. I think the pigeons were also alot different, as the pigeons these days are far more mature, in the year of their birth then what they was 15 years ago. The maturity of the pigeons is in my opinion is the case of the losses in most cases, as many wait for 6 months of age before many train a bird, but in the time line you were quoting we was training them when they was 8-10 weeks of age to get them into the first race, many times training only started 2 weeks before the first race. However i do feel the darkness is the reason for young bird sickness, as its going totally against nature.
  2. The darkness has been the mainstream for probably the last 8-10 years, and especially in the London and surrounding area, you will find very few who race natural youngsters. Bakes, 5 to go lol most of mine havent even dropped there first flights yet
  3. think the problem is these days hardly anyone races young birds natural, No one in my club nor federation have won with a natural youngster this year.
  4. Topped the federation at the weekend, the sire was a Grandson of the Filmstar also, and was also a full Tasker. I have 3 grandsons of the filmstar here, and all have bred a fed winner or joint fed winner(Clocked before Loft Mate). So feel it would be a good buy for anyone
  5. all mixes will vary depending when you buy it, they say you should buy all your feed in one bulk buy as you know the quality will be exactly the same, but the point of the matter is many of us do not have the space to do that
  6. Sue Ive seen Sparrow Hawks chasing pigeons up under the wires, creating an easy meal for them when they drop, quiet possibly what happened to your hen
  7. Dave Allen of sheffield had some of the best, and was highly successful, however he still has success but i feel he isnt as dominant as he was before
  8. think alot of peoples problems with young bird racing is they put all there eggs in one basket, and when the losses are high it effects these people the most
  9. LOL would be handy for him!!

    Light System

    I think you might be mistaken, the top darkness men, do not put there birds on 24hrs of light, they switch on the lights so the daylight stays constant
