We lived in a mining scheme and we had a huge garden which was like a small holding and we always had Chickens etc, we were allowed to keep any pet as long as we looked after it, I had the lot pigeons, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, dogs you name I had it at one time when I was a kid, we used to get pigeons from the fanciers there were about 50 in the scheme with all different types of birds mostly racing lofts
When I moved out I only had room for dove cotes in the properties I had and now since we have settled here we have now three lofts and four dove cotes, four chickens, three rabbits, 12 guinea pigs and two dogs :'( :'( :'(
I am racing this year for the first time but I have been help by a few members on here to get me schooled, Mainly Valiant and his mates, Tammy, Rembrant2coo, Clockman, Sammy and a good few others that offered their advice and help, and of coarse Billy McKechnie who is my loft manager and the brains in the team And Ma WEE Chickadee who is the loft Manager :K)
