that gave away who's bird it is :-/

will let ya no ill pass the ring number to the club meeting tonight!

yes defaintly ace thats why i was asking NFC members if they can enlighten us on the situation cos 600 members is alot of members to lose

i was reading an article today and it said exactly how the cock was acting, so i changed the hen as suggested, what a change in the pigeon his showing out,ringing beaks ect, but like some young cocks he hasnt got the treading part down to an art. Different pigeon totally!lol just looked out there and his lost his virginity infront of my eyes lol

yea they mentioned it at a combine meeting and it was brought back to my federation meeting! I might be wrong only saying what i heard at the meeting :-/

lol you must be on a wind up andy lol or he was taking the p*ss lol no lice are good, does the jockey suck the horses blood? lol didnt think so get the lices out,they irritate the birds also and doesnt allow them to rest effectively. Lice are not good at all for distance sprint or whatever birds.

i was at a meeting the other night and i couldnt believe that they said the NFC have recieved 600 resignations? Any people on here members of the NFC, i was just shocked its alot of resignations, any more details i would find it interesting! I am not a member of the NFC just wondering why so many have resigned

i havent seen it in his cocks i have 3 of his direct children in widowhood loft and 3 grand children.None seem to have this trait, and like i said this is the first year he has ever done it and thats at 4 yr old, and in my racing loft i will not have anything in the loft over 3 yrs old

ill give it a try darran thanks.But would have thought he would have paired in his box. As i keep the stock boxed and let each pair out individually.But i will give it a try.Any more suggestions will be greatful. It wouldnt suprise me if the young cock is shy as he is a wild in the loft his one as soon as you enter his crash bang walloping everywhere

i think alot of the birds where crackers in the show was hard to pick for me it was out of a couple of the birds, bird 1,4 and 7. Bird 6 looks like a young bird :-/ :-/

I have a 5 month old pigeon here bought in for stock. I trial paired him with a hen a couple of weeks ago and he was cooing and calling and such.But then i put them together to be paired, there has not been a coo or anything out of him. I dont think he is ready to pair up, or he just doesnt like the hen i have put him with. Any suggestions?

Very good tip done this for a couple of years now!

it say it would have to be a very strong wire mesh that your using couldnt be two flimpsey, A fox got into my own rabbit hutch two years ago and took a pet rabbit of ours, there clever things make sure your latch to the doors are supported well and cannot be opened to easily as this is what happened to my rabbit the latch would spin round to easily the fox must have nudged it and it was good night vienna

nah the birds looked a full spill of health and the guys birds flew exceptionally well during the racing season topping the fed a couple of times. I couldnt have faulted these birds at all, but the fancier says he never looks in the beak, and he was suprised when i pointed this out,but thanks for everyones replies

lol think everyones got same opinion lol get rid of them lol

old hand says these white spots are the signs of an infection that has been thought and the white spots are tombs of where the infection tried to attack that certain part but had failed! It showed the birds was strong enough and has caused resistence to the infection.However he did say if you have deep litter these white spots wouldnt be shown!

Wonder if use can help and tell my why this is happening never had this before.I have noticed that one of my best stock pigeons who has bred some really good pigeons over the years with al ldifferent hens he has been with but ive never noticed this behavour from him. He is a 4 yr old cock bird, and the last 3 years has been in the stock shed and bred very good pigeons with different hens, however with the hen ive just recently paired him upto after treading her, he will crouch down and then she will tread him! Any ideas

they sell it in my local pigeon shop, i actually asked today what it was and they said its used mainly for canaries. So i bought my usual i a bag of mixed grit of red and white, and tub of matrix

a very important part of the corn trust me!

yea i read something simiular in an old, old hand book saying its a scaring from an illness the birds have just got over,just wondering over people opinions so i can inform the fancier if anything was different
