When racing is over complete lock down for one month and plenty of small grains

Sounds like you have the starts of young bird sickness mate

BIRMINGHAM ROLLERS RACING PIGEONS TIPPLERS DOUBLE KIT BOX LOFT SHED http://bit.ly/14AaZPk These are impressive and would be great for a new starter who has a limit of space, and number of birds able to keep

If limitations on size is a problem, I'd personally do some research on the jealousy system, and the possibility of racing from a few hutch like structures, at waist height. The bond created by you and the birds would be great. Hutch like lofts would also be a big health benefit also. Jim Jenner goes into detail about his first loft that was successful similar to a hutch on one of his DVDs.

Norfolk are in the NRCC radius

The 08 X ring would have been a bird either bred by someone or raced by someone in the NRCC

Excellant percentage of prizes to birds You've always put up good performances. what's going to happen to the one not to take a prize?

As long as it's not a regular occurrence, but as you said they've had a tough day he's gone down but had the brains to get up and carry on

His stopped for a drink on the river bank

Mild temp, high White cloud breaking, dead west wind. Visibility very good, 30 miles plus

I think 100-120 is a good point to start youngsters, jumping pigeons doesn't bother the pigeons but bothers the fancier, I think sometimes we can look at things far to deeply, if the youngsters are fit and healthy they don't know what distance there flying, they will come. But in my opinion they need plenty of races for experience whatever the distance.

As well as Good pigeons

Natural young birds down in London and Essex can compete with darkness youngsters for 3 races afterwards the darkness comes to the forefront and the difference is massive

You are right JAM, I've watched Dirks results for a while. Regarding Stickers Donkers they race very large team both at old and yearlings, as you will know JAM, there races are separate. They fly very well but the small team men such as Emiel Dries put up better performances, with small teams however Stickers uses a lot of Emiels Blood and as Ovy said Frans Maris also.

Ovy, the diamantvbond has the most famous names to the British scene, however it isn't the big money club around Antwerp, the biggest and best competition around Antwerp with big money is in the Tienverbond. However the Diamantvbond is the second most competitive but as I said There's some famous names racing in the Bond. In my opinion the best sprint man at the moment is Shaun McDonough of Walsall.

Happy birthday mate

Lots of loses in the whole British isles. Many theories personally I think everyone was rushing to get there birds up as the forecasts actually said they couldn't say when the storms and rain would come in

East London fed 8am at Peterborough south east wind

Lol me, and young birds first race of the year don't help the stomach either

Going to need a bit more info really Andy, is she younger? Is she just started showing out? Or is she paired? Some families come into form with a pinkish wattle but only you will know your birds, if in doubt I'd leave her out

Bang on

Paul it was two weeks ago now mate

Unfortunately at the moment the skies are full off pigeons. Fit youngsters when out will chase any team of pigeons they see racing the skies. I reckon they e tagged onto somebodies trainers, and come into some form of difficulty. They'll work there way back today with a bit luck. Hope they work back for you mate Unfortunately at the moment the skies are full off pigeons. Fit youngsters when out will chase any team of pigeons they see racing the skies.
