Andy, not the same thing with the eye problem on the other site the eye is puffed but dry. It's been a problem in my federation this year.

Got a bit mind boggling for me. The freaks, wild type, good homers through me right of the scent of the message of the post I feel. The freaks must be the supers or the repeaters as we'd call them I'd imagine?

Bern what is your definition of an energy corn, earlier in the year I wrote a thread about my experiments with sprint feed and that I mixed some grains, I feel I created a high carb and high fat mixture, I feel the muscles expanded as the days went on leading to basketing.

Earwigs love dampness I'd be looking why the loft is damp and then you'd have better idea and battle plan to get rid of them

Hmm I'm not an advocate of darkening old birds but if your going to let more light in it might be your only route

Beautiful set up, Bern depending how the loft is facing I would replace some pan tiles with clear ones

Lindsay I cannot answer the questions your asking unfortunately, however these products the member is banned from using were purchased from the RPRA publications advertisers, which speaks a 1000 words in my eyes

For some reason the RPRA will never publish a list of banned substances which in my opinion puts the fancy in a catch 22 situation

Lindsay, Caffeine is on the banned RPRA list, it isn't on an other in Europe however.

Bern I don't think artificial light touches natural light in all aspects

Caffeine is known in the sporting world as a natural sports enhancer, wouldn't the word NATURAL take the drug out of the equasion? What is the the interesting thing here a greyhound specialist took one set of the droppings, why hasn't the RPRA got people trained for this procedure? I think if the chap took them to court he'd win the day personally

He actually went as far as deleting every post

I asked him a few he ignored every single one of my post, guessing because it contained peregrines and racing pigeons

But be quick it ends in 15 mins or if your on twitter post your questions to him,

Lads give me some questions I can ask him regarding our beloved birds and fight against peregrines, if he'll answer them I'll post his reply

Not a cloud in the sky lovely morning out to stortford with the birds bit later, I'd say west wind

Bigda I've known of that a few years but it cannot be called eyesign, it is something I looked at when Frank sent me the DVD, and I did find the best birds in my loft had this trait, but it sure isn't eyesign. I couldn't tell you if de weerdt believes in eyesign or not, as like Gilbert or Lowe I have no factual source to work off.

Any information of a source where Gilbert or Lowe say they believe in the eye?

Geoff Cooper said eye sign was the biggest waste of time he ever spent bigda.

Bigda is there a lists of robs results? Is he a multi national winner? t is a genuine question how many of the fanciers that have wrote eye sign books or DVD are multi national winners?

Would he bring his guitar?

Tony, don't know about you, but I'm off the opinion to much down fall in short period is bad, but a steady down fall is better. I feel when a lot of down fall comes from a bird, that particular bird wasn't right, for one reason or the other, and once it's released a lot of down, the condition is getting better but defiantly isn't there yet.

I know nothing about eyes, I once studied it for a while, but came to the conclusion I was none the wiser, but what I will say when you give an eyesign enthusiast a pigeon and say it's 4x 1st they say it's a racing eye, then handle them your best stock, they say it's a breeding eye. Taylor can I ask out of all the eyes what was the best breeder and what was the best racer?
