William Donachie---all the best to you and your birds this year -whats your thoughts on the proposed race at the end 500km. Great to watch the progress over the closed season .

these pigeons in the north east have done realy well --try looking at paul stobbs web site and then you will see how well they have done ,i would recommend anyone to try these against what they fly.

not a gold member so carnt sell on line. lot 27 or lot 28 at this w/ends sale seems like might be the nearest you will get,if you want to bid on them and carnt get there you can bid on telephone ,a long shot might be for you to get in touch with vanguard off pigeon land he did have a hen off silver --gold. sorry to any mods if i am against site rules -only trying to help a member out.

got a cock but not a hen

yes raw but he throws them out after 24hrs

was told a long time ago not to overfeed lettuce as it contains lordinum maybe someone can shed light on this. old guy in my club swears by giving chopped up sprouts during winter months when they are locked up.

hope to see you on the boat again.

in my area we have a swet shop(ok so its at the museum but it sells sweets)i like the aniseed balls. www.jubileeconfectionery.co.uk/

why not look for a mate for it and try breeding them.

thx guys had a good day loads of sweets off the kids and the old favorit SOCKS.

tyson blow the moths off your wallet and treat yourself - hope you can get twenty together .

me and her-staying at the white house -probably

Cleelofts | North East Racing Pigeons try this dave will certainly help you.

my main problem is overcrowding ,space being limited my loft manager old pigeon man local to me wants to fill every perch with youngbirds and at the end of the season keep everything thats there. i think a lot of guys will agree ---DONT OVERCROWD YOUR YOUNGBIRDS.

slope back pearches they dont stand in their sh-- , easy clean ,lift off to disinfect --as far as catching birds ,put the darkness shutters up they will be no bother lift out the drinker and feed trough, you always kick them.

grandson likes yor pic of man picking his beak.

Blackpool has evolved and embraced the introduction of the fancy birds,as things change from year to year this introduction i think was good for the show,after visiting houten in NL I think other hobbies could be represented at the show--the place is big enough -and would be another interest to go to see---like small birds --rabbits etc--make this the show for animal husbandry. just a thought.

if you ever end up with a urine infection and feel like ur p i ss ing razor blades and all you want to do is pass water ---then bicarb is the magic potion as far as the birds i use it in the bath water on sunday i think it helps clean the dead skin off .

mark i have been quite a few times --never ever booked always plenty of rooms but some are better than others ,lads on site might be able to recommend one for you,i like to be as near as possible to the show-legs arnt as good as they were .always order my telephone rings on saturday and collect sunday. always plenty to see and last year there was quite a few young birds for sale. dont get carried away at the auctions at the local pubs-some people seem to have deep pockets. remember to go upstairs to see the fancy pigeons they will amaze you,

nasal decongestant ASDA under £2 not as harsh as nazalene easier on your pocket.

good club race birds ended up doing 1430s -only managed 8th club but club winner and second were 1st and 2nd fed,my club ended up best club in fed so its the toughest to win but makes you try harder. losses this year with y/birds-started racing 41 birds first race and sent the whole team to the last race -all24 -----------21 back .never lost one bird racing wednesday club 6 bird limit. so the hard job next to get down to nestbox spaces--12 in race loft 4 in stock loft.----------------hate this job.

WDA amal liberated at NEWARK at 9.00 in a west wind -130 miles to me-last race of the season.

is the land you want your loft on your own or rented?

dirty wattles acompany illness in the birds a lot of the time-and lily white wattles usually is an indicator of good health . look to the eyes as your problem -without pics of the eyes and down the throat and extending its neck by holding its beak and listen at the back of its neck-so treating blind without some info is not what many would like to comment on,but as a stab in the dark first tell us does the watery eyes have small bubbles in the liquid? stab in the dark treat for respitory problem -use doxy or similar for 5 days and watch the others.
