young birds tonight

48 on the dark all inoculated ---then 2 got the sickness ,got the cure straight in the water fixed them ,most through the moult and flying the hevens off ,1 hour plus they just want to fly.gearing up for paratipus [spelling] jab ---8 day treatment befor innoculation.all been in the basket a few times and crossed fingers no losses. young look like old ones and would grace any show pen --will try and get some pics on and you can make your own mind up.

suns poking through the clouds in the n/east signs of a nice day after fog and wet mist all day yesterday.any birds lost in the n/east will have a chance to move on.

loads of pigeons missing off saturdays race john,and the welsh seem to have took a battering . the lads in my area west durham amal flying approx 65----90 miles front man to back have quite a few losses------north east wind getting blamed.

*expletive removed* M E is that what you scots call a wee cake.

is that a geordie starting a fight?-between two scots.

ginge if you use the unikon race results software ----after you have read each clock and printed the pigeons clocked for each member---------dont kill the race. instead connect the computer to the ringer and synik each clock in turn this loads info from each clock onto a result sheet in velocity order giving you your result -------as easy as that.that is presumeing you have added the the races to the pc ---all members distances and have the lib time right. not bad to get your head around.

start letting it out 3 times a day----put me down for 20 rings lol

understand your concern but hope that defra have it all in hand

agree with you totally and think further preventative measures should be taken---a line drawn straight across the country at birmingham and everone south of this should be stopped from raceing training and showing----and even letting their birds out. DONT U AGREE PIGEON MAN.

Cold race--liberated in NNE at 8.00am---low velocities expected. 1stTwentyman@Carrick1323ypm 2ndTwentyman@Carrick1323ypm 3rdR Wilson@son1300ypm 4th Smith@Ovington 1299ypm 5th Smith@Ovington 1299ypm Birds hedgehopping and we all had some losses ----possible wires.

1st D.R.Spoors 1522ypm -----85miles 2ndTwentyman@Carrick1520ypm----86miles 3rdM Lyons1510-----86miles 4thD.R,Spoors1501ypm 5thM Lyons1500ypm GOOD RACE--great returns and D.R. tops the fed with T/C getting 3rd fed

trouble with pc load later

gemexol

to get your hight above sea level--------open google earth --type in your address ---hover your mouse over your loft and read off hight at bottom of screen.

Well not that high above sea level but do sit on the highest around my area--257meters -----------843feet so yes if it snows we get it first ,if its windy you get blown over so when the birds come home its climb all the way but must be guys on here in scotland to top this?

young birds this year---------i breed early and always treat loft and old birds well in advance to try to ensure healthy old birds for breeding---but this year my young even though i had treat for cancer as i parted them would gasp after about 5 mins fly[we did get some hot days]--so i retreat for cancer but instead of tablets i used chevicol [spelloing] nothing visable down throat no gurgleing at back of neck when extending neck forward ------but still not 100% happy with them so treat with doxy for 3 days -the difference was immediate and birds looked better---since then the whole flock has been inoculated PMV kept in for 3days as it snowed up here and laid for a while. they have had cytacon in water some days multivits others and sometimes cider vinigar but always clean water between. last night most of the young birds flew over an hour ---no flags-most are now through the body moult and that gapeing seems a long time ago . SO MY OPINION IS RESPITORY IN MY CASE.

Tom covering of snow up at stanley -as long as the sun gets out it will melt.

give us some more info ---your birds -------racers ---tumblers ------how long had they flown ---------what was weather like ---have they been flying out all winter -----------are they feeding young------------when did you last treat and for what.then the guys on here can give better assesments .
