For those of you who wish to know the outcome of the scum bag who killed my young bird. I took it up with my club secretary, who is advising me to write to my regional secretary, which i shall do, as this person has done it before. But, i must say No1 (a good hiding) would have pleased me more. Thanks for all your help and advise. Bob

Hi all, I have two 18 x 8 lofts 6 sections and i have been told to install fans in each section, i have a flat roof and dont like the idea of cutting into roofs as previous experience has shown that they always leak. Any Ideas? Thanks

Hi, I was advised by a top Welsh flyer to give my young birds a handful of peanuts per day. 50 young would eat approx 65oz corn and 1 handful peanuts. Any ideas? Bob

Words of advise please, I have two 18 x 8 sheds, but i have a problem with cats. If i take the bird trainning there is nobody back home to trap them in, im worried about the cats getting on the shed roofs and attacking the birds. I have a cat, but he is locked in when exercising birds and trainning, i came home from work last week and there was a neighbours cat sitting on the supertrap!!!!!! Answers: Electric fence around the roof area of shed. Electric cat repellar...Do these work? Serious advise please?..i cannot shoot them or get a dog, or send them on a holiday. Bob

Stuart, Me and you must have the same job!!!!!! Good thread, ETS for me next year, when all minor problems ironed out. Bob

I used this for years, what do you want to know? Bob

Can anyone explain the reason why i loose birds of the loft, i hear experienced flyers say they never loose birds of the loft,so what am i doing wrong? Last week i let out 14 young birds,they flipped around fine,yesterday i lost 1, today 4. On average in the last two years i must have lost around 12 from the loft. Its now getting me down!!!!!!!!!!! Bob

Gents/Ladies, Your help and knowledge please, I have weaned of first round of young they are about 7 weeks old now. But, do i need to put them on a darkness regime now or is it naturally enough darkness at the moment,if so how many hours darkness should they be shut down for. Thanks Bob

If the hens just lay there smoking a fag then everything is fine, but if they get up and walk bandy then the cock is on the large size...lol Bob

Hi all, Your views on rearing/feeding nothing but maple peas. Any ideas? Bob

Can anyone give advise on Gemthepax, i was told to add it to the corn,no problem here, but do fanciers use galley pots and keep topped up all day. Also,i have been advised to use maple peas and nothing else,so i take it that i coat the maple peas in gemthepax??? Any ideas and views would be appreciated as this is my second year breeding. Bob

Come on guys!!!!!!!!!! Its about time we all stocked knocking Andrew and one another, i slated Andrew late last year,and looking back on it i regret doing so. If Andrew buys and sells, so be it. If he has made excusses about college so what!!! Lets all stop the slagging off and make this site a wee bit better than it already is. PS I never did give you a public apology Andrew, SORRY MATE Bob

You cannot put full spectrum daylight bulbs on a dimmer, so i was told, as i was about to purchase these with a built in ioniser. Bob

Sorry all now sold

Sorry all now sold.

Now you officially know who i was talking about, And you was giving me so much flak,my only mistake was not naming and shaming,still, all done and forgotten now, time to wish you all A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR BOB
