nail on the head they wont do very well in a race but some good pigeons have been bred of birds with bent keels

my widowhoods get a pinch of matrix, every time they enter the loft

fly north road was at scotch corner 216 miles 1088 yards first pigeon done it in 5 hours 28 mins and 41 seconds, velocity 1159.92,dnt know anyones times in the east london federation or the county of essex as its an amalgamation today, but my birds are pretty gappy and other flyers spoken to who race north road in same boat

Beckton east london, lovely blue sky some cloud coverage, strong south west wind blowing

East London and County of Essex amalgamation up at 7.15 scotch corner

well its an amalgamation this week tammy with another federation so i couldnt truly give you an answer mate, but theres a nice gold medal up for grabs

yes sammy grit and minerals should be infront at all times, however there must be some form of weakness in the pigeons bones i would imagine, as i can honestly say have never came across the problem

east london federation at scotch corner

http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastmidlandstoday/latest_stories/index.shtml pigeons stolen by thieves for meat, video clip on the bbc east midlands latest news, they interview Frank Tasker, but im unaware of whos pigeons where stolen. But whoevers birds they are i hope they return

Ronnie Bigwood my neighbour lol, and Davy Hunt top man, glad to see some more East London Federation members past and present pictured on the site must have been a few years ago as i know ronnie hasnt had a stall at blackpool for coupe of years

see this very rarely, but the old hands white sesquins do the trick

theres good and bad in all strains mate to be honest, its down to the fanciers own preference, all round pigeons i prefere the best and over the years ive found the lefebre dhaenens had done the work for me topping the federation from 74 miles and winning the combine from 600 miles. But saying that ive had alot of success with the tasker pigeons, but i still think the best pigeons sprint or distance are crossings, two brillant winning gene familys put together to create your own ideal pigeons and creating your own strain effecitively

looks brillant how old is he

have to agree with alf

sire dam and pups all look belters, pup number 5 looks a cracker

you get a certificate when buying it, which has to be signed by someone present when vaccinating them, so would ask a club member as its very hard to inject them buy yourself as well

is there any grit and minerals in the lofts?

fair enough roland apolagy accepted, however the way your statement started 'Behave yourself, nothing like' to my eyes it was a belittling statement that came across due to my age and because of this you were judging my knowledge, and certainly appeared to myself that a dig was taking place. However apology accepted and will be brushed under the mat!

o well i guess im wrong in your books, nevermind, ive raced what i call the natural system in the past and had very good results,BUT like i said my post previous is BASIC!

saturday was very dull and overcast mate untill around 1.30-2.00 thats when the sun came out around here, i visited the lib site on the saturday alot of the conveyors that i spoke to reckoned the way it was looking would have been a held over but that early in the morning around 7.30ish

keeping cocks and hens together to lay and have babies basically

it wasnt impossible but it was very bad weather, there was spells of clearing of good clearing and at times broken sky, but these times where very limited, i live 5 miles from the flats, and alot of birds didnt clear i've had two strays in being raced from the flats in 2 days

well you could do sue all depends how you want to race, natural or widowhood really

real young young birds yes, but young birds that are old enough to defend for themselves very much doubt,

my young birds are exactly the same, my old cocks are like it an all
