andyyy

Just get a testing Kit, See what they say. Don't try and treat it blind as you will be just waiting time and money. Atb Andy

If people can't afford a lot of birds then they shouldn't keep alot, Also People shouldn't give up on a sport they love and enjoy. It's not just pigeon racing what expensive, It's everything, You can't do nothing cheap these day's. Atb Andy

You do get some people who do actually help and do the best to help. But as always you get that one person who likes to think they know it all, But you get that anywhere, Wether it be here, at the club or even at the training transporter, Atb Andy

Agree with that, A club member donated a bird, but couldn't make it to the sale his young bird made about £17 His results for the last few seasons was amazing, topping the fed so many times, Never been out of top ten fed, wining all the fed avs and everything and even scored 1st and 2nd MYC, If people would have bothered coming to our sale someone would have got a good bird, It actually went on to wining the Yb breeder buyer =P

We run a lottery, makes quite a bit of money for the club and a nice amount for the winner too

Racers all have Young birds in nest, stock have eggs and young birds. Coming on well despite the cold weather, Atb Andy

One of my clubs sales is shocking, No support from anyone else in our fed just our club, Last years the birds was lucky to to make £15/£20 We rely on the lottery run by myself and also we run tickets which bring in a good income, Atb Andy

Depends on the colour of the family, I've for a blue W/f cock and a red pied hen.. Pure white young bird in nest

seems alright here in sheffield today, it's dry and fresh and the suns trying to break. Should have a decent day.

A few more races that us there mate, We don't start until April 13th and i think we'll be ending on August 31st, or Sept 7th at latest

I will consider that mate, 1st time i've had anyone on in a few years, they have been on next door just never come on mine, I think they hoped to find some money, Atb Andy

cheers for the advice guys, The front off my garden is about 7ft hight fence, With a secure gate, I only re did last year and the from one at to the other it's covered in razor wite and barb wire, Next door isn't secure as mine and i think thats how they've got in, I've manged to secure it for today but i'll make it 100% this week, i've even managed to have a word with the allotment office who said they'll try and sort something out, Just not a nice thing to see when you go on allotment, Atb, Andy

Been cold and very windy here in Sheffield all day, and now we have a down pour on rain!

Cheers, Luckily they've kept away from my birds. I have razor blade all over the front, And at the back, I think they've go in through next door, If i catch anyone they'll be hit with something heavy no doubt about that, i think it's druggies or alcoholics looking for some cash or something, Just a mess about having to sort everything back out when i could be doing something useful with my time, Atb Andy

Last night i took the dogs out, called onto allotment at about 9:45 And everything was fine, No one about. Gone on this morning at about 10am, Someone had already been on before me, smashed two lock of my sheds, Had a good look around, Took a few screw drivers, a wall clock and a old coat i wear when it's cold. shows how foolish some people are, Just wish they'd been about when i was on the *****!

He's at Worksop

So i was told, I treat for it. However I rarely have birds ill, This year i couldn't get my yb's to come for 1st two races, but after that they was coming spot on.

I start having the door open from when i 1st part them, some come out, Others don't. As for training them i train them when i think that they are ready, Flying well and going from the loft. Other people train them at a certain age, My training works for me, last year started off with 50, had 41 in loft come the Sunday after the last race, And out of the 9 some didn't make the grade so i disposed of them, Atb Andy

My hen what had the eye problem is now fine, As are the rest in my lofts, I test the dropping at least 2/3 times a year to make sure that my birds are in correct health, Sent one off at the back end off 2012, all came back clear. Either it wasn't 'one eye cold' Or that treatment i used did the job, As it was recommended by the farm where i shop for most pigeon products. The ventilation in my loft is spot on, and my loft's aren't over crowded.

Rained all night, Snows pretty much gone! And the suns been out, the winds been blowing strongly but overall it's been a decent day here in sheffield xD

Oh right, Well it worked for me so im sure it'll be fine for you, Good luck with it mate.

Well, I've never had a problem with it until last year and had no idea what to treat so i went to farm and she gave me this to try so i used it I know why i got it last year, It was because i moved the perches into the area where they got into the way of the air flow, This year i've put new perches in so hopefully shouldn't be having the same problem, Atb Andy

I saw some for sale on gumtree, 30p each and they had hundreds, Belg rings fect at least £2 each on ebay with transfer. I saw some for sale on gumtree, 30p each and they had hundreds, Belg rings fect at least £2 each on ebay with transfer.

I had a hen with quite bad eye and i put it on and with a day you can see the difference put i think i put it on for 3 days and she was spot in, Still in loft now ;D

We race maidstone at the min, And its fine we have good races but it's come about that it's to far over to the rest of our race points we wanted to move further over to the other side to make it more on line with the rest. I suppose it's down to the meeting on monday, I did mention Billercay so he's going to propose it, Weather or not it'll get pass i don't know, Again thanks !
