My brother in law who isn't a pigeon man been working on a few photos of some of my best birds, this is a before and after shot of the edit This Slatey hen is line bred to Frank Taskers famous Olympiad, the sire being a direct son, and the dam being a granddaughter, so Uncle to Niece pairing. She has a number of prizes in club and federation but at London North Road Combine Level she has a 8th, 11th and 50th Open from 306 miles to 510 miles

thanks for your opinions guys, unfortunately petron and building my own will be out of the question

Who are the best loft manufacturers

most race programmes start around April 14th, you want your birds to be fit flying around the loft well before this, before you can think of training.

Well done, nice pigeons pal

Fifer bred me one many years back now, he scored very well as a yb upto 235 mile, as an old bird he was lost on his first training spin. Alf Baker had Omo a fantastic bird, the marcel wouters pigeons will make a big impact in this country also i feel and many whites are produced from them

Beautiful pictures bill

Couple of me for my sisters halloween party

Yes i will be there

Id contact ur vet

if there is traces of undigested grain in the droppings it would indicate hypermotility of either one or both of the pigeons stomachs(proventriculus and ventriculus). Which usually indicates that they have some form of infection or inflammation. Now inflammation of this area can be signs of many things such as Salmonella, coccidiosis, worms, e.coli, yeast, herpes, hexamita and chlamydia. So i would suggest if you rate the bird, do the best thing and get the birds droppings analysed, if you do not rate the bird and its the only one ill, its nature way of telling you survival of the fittest.

You must make the birds feel it is autumn/ winter time, so they should shed there feathers, this is all done by the hours of light. Too much hours of light and the birds think its spring/summer and they wont moult. Hence why thr darkness system works so well as we trick the youngsters it is autumn/winter so they must moult. And the yb specialists after coming of the dark extend the daylight in the loft so the birds do not moult come the big races in September, when the natural light is getting less.

A guy in the midlands i believe his name is Andy Darby, did have a lot of directs i couldnt tell ya if he raced them or not. I suspect alot of midlands flyers have tried them from Wim, as those that travel to the continent there favourite place to stop was Berlaar. Wim is a very good middle distance fancier and regularly sells pigeons on pitts

Been on the scene many years

How many flights have they dropped thats the more important then the body

How many flights have the dropped and what condition is there body moult in?

Highfliers recently charged £55 from dundee to london so be aware prices stated do not mean a lot

Think big wattles are a thing of the past, i really cant remember marking or seeing a bird on basketing nights with one for many a year

In my opinion 50% is ideal and is something ive moulted on for a number of years now

Where is the best and cheapest place to get pipo boxes?

Ad shaerlackens once wrote the germans secret was sending 3 month old babies over, i always thought took some believing until i saw Roger Martens result when he had a bird fly in one one loft race, and then sent it to another to then become the overal winner.

Defiantly my feelings Tony....on a personal note ive found after a bout of young bird sickness generally the big form will hit in the young bird loft....now thats a statement that will throw the cat among the pigeons so to speak.

Well done my son
