Barley is the most underated corn, many top fanciers swear by it, if offered it only, after a while your old birds will take it, it is also a good judgement to have in your mixes during racing, as its your birds least favourite corn, so when they've had there feel of food they will stop eating it the barley if you feed them little by little, whilst with other grains they will readily eat. Cheers for now Wiley

i used to get mine oif Mike Ganus' website but they no longer stock it, but cocci isnt something my birds will only get once a year before breeding. I regular use a microscope, and have found that if you feed just 100% barley at certain periods your cocci, count is very low next to nothing, with cocci it will never be 100% eliminated it is something you should try and keep controlled by using some natural products, like specially formulated pigeon teas a good one is what clares products sell,

baycox quick and reliable treatment

Thanks gents, i just hope they can keep there condition for next weekend when I send to the London North Road combine to Witton Castle

dont know will be close, as there both very short fliers phil, but at a rough guess i would say so very very slightly, as i believe they both fly 112 miles, but to be honest id imagine they would have them over the water in there federation at a guess with the east in the wind. Thanks andy, I was 1st,2nd and 4th in one club and the other club i was 1st, taking the first three in the East London Federation, and 2nd,3rd and 4th Amalgamation, beaten by .05 of a decimal last week, they will be high up in the federation this week also although i only took 2nd club,5th and 6th, and in the other 5th and 6th.

in your federation heard earliest was Jutla, 2 hours 4 mins aswell as Chalkley on same time

Have been considering it for sometime, to try and improve and create a constant tempreture in my widowhood loft, as its location isn't the greatest and doesnt recieve the early morning sunshine, However the subject id like to press on is how important do use feel that a constant tempreture is on bringing in form and condition into your widowhood cocks? Also what do use believe is the best heating and thermostat on the market today?

To be honest gents couple years ago i wrote under grasshopper on a weekly basis 4 both publications bt the would take on average 3 weeks 2 get printed so in affect became old news so hence i stopped as it became irritating !

thanks fred, terrible shame no one does write for the BHW, to get us across the boards as we have woodo for the RP. Out of interest Tippler what club is mr Smith racing in?

im lead believe i take the 1st 3 in the East London federation, and was lead to believe could have been in the amalgamation but the above bird beats me by decimal point 1, but like they say dont count your chickens before they hatch,

that will win the amalgamation i would imagine then

Mist AND NORTH EAST WIND LONDON

Had a good toss today 25 MILES

thye rain hit london big time for 10 minutes, then stopped and cleared open the sky for lovely blue sky with little cloud covering

dont have the grizzle line ut have the flash pied line, get in touch with john purton or terry jones

i feed in the perches all week apart from friday morning where the pigeons are fed on the floor to create motivation

pigeon came and the loft got scared and flew away ;D

only interested in the one however ill offer £3.00 each

dont Believe the hype in strains, purchase the Best your money can afford from peoples Best, then Blend them together, hence if you like creating your own strain of Birds, the dutch and the Belgians when they Buy they are then there own strain.

there once was a time eggs were given by fanciers, and never to be payed for, how times are changing this was on the egg posted howed it skip ill never know

thats what i thought a dolls house sized one, quiet possile a dovescote?

if theres no swallows keep em home, alot alot of federations got a kick up the rolloxs last week, do urself a favour send when those swallows and bees are around, if your going to send send some spare pigeons,

i know some of them faces had deep pockets the little fella with the wkd purchased some good direct willy thas at i think Edna Kellys sale at BLACKPOOL. Looked like use had a terrific night gentlemen hopefully uou have many BLACKPOOL nights like that also in the future

crap, in east london no essex or london federations will get there pigeons up i expect

Thats strange cos i have alot of Pied with bibs down there necks, prodominant thing in my loft, and we only ever had this when feeding homoform, we havent feed homoform for 5 years now and we have no stains.
