Egg food and maple peas in individual pots and feeders full(corn + layers pellets) - enjoy it while you can, throw it all round the loft! - just wait till the YBs are away ;D ;D ;D

Creatine is used by both body builders and sold for pigeons - always wondered if it was performance enhancing.

RJs throw up a lot of colour permutations red pied C x white slight grizzle hen - two dark grizzle youngsters - makes it hard to sex by colour!!!!!

Typical pre budget political ploy - get everyone talking about 10% tax rise - introduce a 5% rise and everyone thinks they got off lightly ;D ;D ;D

I have found no probs with them so far - they are just a ring!!!!

I have two that I use a hand held plumbers version(1.99 from B & Q) and a weed wizard. It may be old fashioned but does exactly what you want it to do - kills everything you want it to do(viruses, worm eggs etc). Only scorches the wood if you stop moving!!!!!

How many have started training their OB? Saw batches of racers going thru Marlborough today!!!!

So what you are saying is that if anyone wishes to fly as good as yourself and Roland get them from LPW as they have the breeders.

Vast majority of strains flown in this country originated in Belgium/Holland and were purchased because of results in their own countries, once they are successful in this country prices go one way until they go out of fashion!!!!

I see from the photos of YBs on the site that people are pairing grizzle to grizzle - with these I bought in a mixture to avoid this - what are others thoughts? Bought a cracking blue C RJ from premier at Blackpool - have they now got rid of all theirs?

Happened to me, fancier passed away, son consolidated a list of birds in loft and asked RPRA to change owner details - turned out a third were strags. I just let him keep bird!!

I wish them all the best of luck and a safe return. I only hope that the decision to pre-warn the Taliban was a military and not political idea.

Good looking youngsters - you will have to update with their results.

Sounds like those who donated their "unwanted" to you did you proud. It is too easy to undervalue those given to you by fellow fanciers. Only with hindsight and the expenditure of loads of cash do you come to realise this!!!!

UK in 11th spot(unofficial) WTG

What about the youngsters? is their nest pan dry?

As many people who have forked out good money for "champions" at auction have found - its the management that counts. B for me!!!!

Stan F - no downsides that I am aware of only pluses - pleasant smell lasts days

Stalosan F good stuff, little bit goes a long way - bit pricey on that site, 28 from Agricentre

I have in the past bought YBs to race from studs but found I dont end up with a lot of them at end of season. I now only buy in stock birds and breed my own as do a few other flyers I know.

I spoke to him at show and asked why so many, he said last year he had run out before end of show so wasnt making that mistake again. I was surprised A with the condition and B the prices he was charging.

I think you need to read my post again ;D If they have it in them he will bring it out as he has done with Gabys, Hartogs and SVR. Wonder who bought the double gson of Beths Boy for £45. Louella are obviously changing their marketing strategy will no non-pedigree birds on offer this weekend except via BHW.

I thought the majority of pigeons at the show were presented well but were not bought by me as they were not of the strain/line/type I was looking or which appeal to my tastes but I wont be slagging them off for that reason - It would appear that those who were snapping up Louella birds at the auctions and off the stand havent a clue what they are doing which should be of benefit to those on this site racing against them ;D ;D ;D My mate who regularly tops the fed bought in LPW Lindelaufs, he is obviously on the slippery slope downwards!!!!!

Friday night at LPW got 1 double grandaughter of superkweeker 11 and 1 double grandaughter superkweeker 12 total cost 90. Sat at Premier picked up ex stock cock(RJ) for 40 - well worth the 500+ round trip.

Official is that they are outing sprint families to concentrate on middle/distance. Unofficial is that they cant compete on price with other RJ sellers.
