Every one has there own terminology in my opinion 0-300 is sprint, 300-450 middle 450-600 miles long

They are sprint middle distance birds. However I've never seen a reported winner from this family. I've handled quiet a few and they are a nice type of bird, maybe there just two far away from the winners?

Lol when I mentioned Londoners, I meant there supporters lol

Falani was a class act at Everton. However I do not rate Moyes. Showed in the transfer season when many big names rejected a united move, a Big club in my opinion needs a Big Manager. Many Londoners are devastated about the result tonight

Always buy it from Asda and give it to the birds once a week as well as lettuce.

Noticed in bhw, an advertisement from a stud, with a GUAREENTEE, if within two years if they don't breed winners they will be replaced. I think with a GUAREENTEE like that there will be many interested parties.could it be the way foreword that all studs or pigeon fanciers should go down?

Mustn't Grumble

Cheers Sammy

Anyone know if gems dropped prices

Cheers Del, we ended up 9th and 16th LNRC. And another should come in between 26-30th open.

Was left feeling like what if, after my birds put up a good team performance, on a tough day

Your right JAM. My new introductions wasn't ever my first birds or my last birds they were steady and consistent. Two young cocks go into the team next year out of the pair.

Today is decision day.

Weekly worst thing you can do is stop a young bird

Could be as you say Walter, she's quiet young in comparison to other peoples young birds

Lol, delboy I'm really really tempted, some comments on another site have put my doubts on however, final decision will be tomorrow. I think she's in excellent nick

She's unpaired, in the last 3 weeks racing, she's had a 1st and 3rd club. She's later bred but she had 6 weeks on the dark, eyes are bright, wattle white, and neck shinning, and droppings small and tight. Delboy its her first flights to drop.

What's people opinion on a bird dropping two flights one wing and one flight in other wing all at once? Have a pigeon done it this week, would you send it to 225 mile LNRC race or leave it at home

Personally I only feed them once a day youngsters, and that's of an evening, however the only way they will put exercise in is if you fly them in the morning. As there stomach are hungry again by 4 o clock.

Unfortunately what your describing isn't young bird sickness. Sounds to me either paratyphoid or Streppy. There is a new strain of young bird sickness that struck Holland last year, and I believe hit these shores this year, which was a more vigorous form, but none with the symptoms your describing.

Mark, as you will know, as you know the Belgium scene, the MSN championship is a nominated affair over 10 or 11 races, but if you look at the rankings from 2011 you will notice most fanciers raced in entirely different bonds. But you will also know the National champion of Sprint youngsters all Belgium in 2011 was Sticker Donckers, The national Champion of 2011 middle distance youngsters was Rudi Diels, The national champion of 2011 national youngsters was Lannoo-Ballegeer. Albert is a good flyer, but to say he was the best young bird flyer, why wasn't he present on the national stage of all Belgium?

No Donckers there Stu?

On what page?

Albert has a family heavily influenced by Jos Soontjen based birds, from Pros Roosen and luc and Bart Geerinckx and also a touch of Jan Gronderlaers. And you right over the years his put up good performances and doesn't play with actually many birds, on average 15 per race. However he dominates so much which questions to me the competition he is racing against.

I never part any young birds until after the moult and a month or so before pairing. I'd use sedochol after the month period for 7 days straight then twice a week. But in that month no, just clean water.
