Spot on Coxy... You must get the yearlings used to there boxes prior to putting the older ones back in..They must be confident in the home and defend their box. Beware if a yearling gets battered by an older cock (it will break its spirit and have no confidence) you could have just lost that potential CHAMPION BE PATIENT, it takes time

Have you got any?? i have just travelled 67m to get to work, Hungerfords to Eastcote, Ruislip Snow everywhere upto 4" deep Looks nice but its hazardous Anybody else got a long journey - TAKE A FLASK..

Yeah, i spotted the same lastnight.. But it will probably take the "experts" weeks and thousands ££££££ to come up with this answer.......

Hi everyone, In all this doom and gloom, which is hopefully just a minor set back and doesnt effect racing in April etc (Heres info on a web auction which might be of interest to the fellow forum members) Its being held by Haydock RPC in aid of club headquater funds and there are some REAL quality youngsters on offer.. Enter ELIMAR web site, click on pigeon auction, click on online auctions, click on browse, then choose Haydock RPC Headquarter fund.. Some good honest youngsters (25 yb majority of breeds) TTFN

Nice to see someone looking at things positively, good post lplates. Heres hoping :-/

Looks a dream, Wish you the very best of luck and hope you get some winners in it

Thanks Paulo, Anthony & Blackjack.. I will certainly be trying with the Yb Blackjack - we have a good sound stock loft, so should be solid foundation even if a different area/location. Just got to get my head round 80m to coast as it used to be 200m Thanks again Mark

Cheers Paul.. I will certainly be trying

Many thanks Pompey Mick Cheers Andrew

Cheers Ken.. Gotta go out the office now whilst i can get my head through the door.. Thanks

Thanks Stuart.. Some good sound advice their, thanks

Many thanks for all the comments and some good advice, much appreciated.. Not looking at buying a future from these places tho' just going on a visit.... I have our own 12 x pair of stock birds which i brought down from St.Helens with me, the 1st round going back upto my dads and i will keep the 2nd & 3rd J, these have been sucessful in recent years upto 300miles and i am confident in their ability . My good mate Kenny is breeding me the 2nd round from his stock and a couple of forum members (pigeon pete & mac1) are breeding me a few. Also will have some birds from the members of Earlestown FC ;D THE FUTURE LOOKS ROSY

Is this market on every weekend?? Anybody know how to get there - please dont say by boat :P ;D Also anyone got directions to the natural breeding station Looking at nipping over back end of this month, early next for a nosey, been promising myself a trip over for last few years but never got there!! Anybody any tips on breeders who they have had success with??

Hi All, Just downloaded the application form..annual Subs £12 with new member charge £5, but no mention of gold rings I am sure that i saw in the BHW this week that they have sold 1100 gold rings?? How much are the gold rings?? whats the limit?? Any help appreciated..

I have come up with a few ideas recently:- I am holding a small one loft race for the members of Earlestown FC (i can do it this year because new location, new loft which will have spare old bird sections etc, each member will pay £20 and send down some birds, week before 1st race if they have 2 left they can select their entry or add another £20 for the other, hope to be flying for approx £600/700 prizemoney and i have gained sponsorship of £300 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Ace birds. Also i have got £40 sponsored entry for 2 x birds in the name of "little crickets pre-school, Baydon, Hungerford". which should create some interest for the kids/teachers and hopefully win them some money. We have also arranged a demonstration at the local school for later this month were i will go down and explain about racing pigeons, photos and hopefully a loft visit (we should have yb in the stock loft by then) 10/15 kids visiting and them following the progress of their birds in the Earlestown race Also just been speaking to the charity organiser at work (MITIE PROPERTY SERVICES) and we will be holding a sponsored "RACE NIGHTS WITH A DIFFERENCE" in August/Sept this year. Obviously i will be racing a good strong yb team this year (hopefully approx 40/50) and we will choose a number of races and advertise within the offices at MITIE on a "draw out of a hat type basis" the ring numbers for the coming weekends entry, each bird will be £5 pound, lets say 40 birds @ £5 = £200 (we could divide £150 prizemoney £50 to the charity etc - i am hopeful of having ETS set up for training purposes so i can adopt this for the races. But imagine 40 x people who have no idea about racing pigeons taking part and showing a great deal of interest in this scheme. Lets spread the word

Thanks everyone..

Ha ha Dont mind her being broody but 2 was enough for me, Anyhow i cant do any damage now (no live ammo - but i dont mind trying Cheers

What a weekend..... ;D I am now a fully fledged member of the Wantage pigeon Club, following the AGM on Sunday. The 12 x pair stock down on eggs. Loft framework erected all 2" x 2" measuring 28ft x 8ft with 12ft x 8ft rear section. (We have photo's step by step, which i will post once all is complete) Just need to get loads of 8' x 4' sheeting next pay day.. ;D Roll on July (1st yb race)

Quick congratulations to my good mate and fellow forum member Kenny.. He has just become a "Grandad" for the first time, he is on his way to the hospital with his 2007 gold ring as we speak, ;D All the best to little Emma, her fella and baby girl Lily Anna x x Best Wishes & Happy Grandparenting, Ken & Elaine ;D ;D Sign of getting older now mate
