I am no expert but what i would say is this ive found over the weeks ive been a member that the reason pigeon basics topics are poor is someone posts an interesting topic and becouse its not birds of pray sarcastic comments rain in on it.This forum should be bouncing theres lots of members with lots of experiences however the mix of fancy birds with racing lofts alters the panerama that is the fancy.There should be at least one topic going all the time on breeds, health, lofts, clocks, methods and other pitfalls that befall pigeon fanciers.There are fanciers who use this forum to sell.Everyone needs to improve or diversify ive no problems with any of that but lets teach those who begin learn from those who know. Eradicate illness that goes toward blighting our hobby.

A good inexpensive moulting mix and NEW wheat.

Sex of a pgeon can only be seen if the pigeon has a red hue.Egs Mealys reds look at the tails cocks have a black splash hens have a brown splash. HENS can also have a blue splash which does look like black.So be carefull.Any colour of a pgeon bred off two reds or two mealies or red and mealy that is not red is a hen.

Its fine and clear here in county Durham.

Go to all the charity sales next year.Buy the young birds that arnt in the pen from good fanciers.This has a two fold effect 1st you get the top pigeons for cheaper, pigeon fanciers are impatient they want things yesterday.So pigeon not in the pen most fanciers will not wait.Secondly most fanciers when you go to there loft will give you the birds nestmate free.This method also means you dont have to wintewr them.I pass Bangor evey fortnight so i will drop you off a pair of Lambrechts in the spring free.Meet me on the 55.

While i would be the first to agree that £1000 is a lot of money.The same could be said of the fanciers who go to Blackpool and pay £600 to £700 for Roland Janssens each.I know what i would rather have.When you come away Gary will predict if the birds will breed winners.Hes nearly always right, uncanny.You can get the same blood from Dom telephone no second post in.

About 25 years ago i was looking through a squills yearbook.In its pages any youngbird could be bought for about £25 £30.The price of the Planets were £150 minimum.I thought it was a mistake, it wernt.I can with the exception of the Busschaerts think of any colony to match these.

The natural breeding station is no better no worse than any other stud.Its the luck of the draw what the purchase wins doesnt win.I read todays BHW and see the auction season begins Rosieliegh lofts tells us they must cut down yet 52 of the 74 lots were born in 2010.The solution looks pretty plain to me dont let em hatch.Dont forget some fanciers couldnt get lassie to give them a paw.So it might not be the birds to blame.

Once again the main characters in this senario are cast aside.Given no voice to protect them from what is becoming an evil world.These regulations democratically arrived at are in place to protect the birds from just such harsh treatment.If it becomes a universally accepted practice were will it end.Sore foot or not the fancy OWES none fancying peaple a dept becouse that person whoever he she may be has gone out of there way to help your bird pet etc.Fanciers have taken in your athletes who you prepared for the race well or not so well they have been found to have come up short.Its only 2 3 weeks ago the Scottish men were about wiped out.

This old chestnut rises its head again.Why should the fanciers whos loft the strays enter be responsiblble to repatriate the said strays.Do you know what its like to have birds land on your landing board or varanda to be imediately hanted.These birds have done me no ill and yet some irresponsible person wishes me to suppress there mistakes. Dont take the high ground and presume its your right not to claim your property.The reverse is true.You have a democratically brought about regulation to do this.I am sorry you cant afford to get your birds back.Ask me i will help.But i am not prepared to kill healthy birds to save you £35.If this becomes the norm then i will pack in. My widowhood cocks are pulled from the sky and my racing and life is affected.Thank you for your time.

Cyri Denduiver is the son in law of the ace facier Arsenne Deschact the flew just outside Ostende.Some of the best birds of wall lunt greene etc came from this partnership.Some years ago the partnership had a falling out this despite living next door to each other. The best advocate of these birds is John Danskin mobile no 01912678035

West Durham Amal up at Huntington 0800.LNWW.

Bob Lowden a 100% guy.His pigeons are very well reared and he has never been shy to buy.He is now very old and not able to race as once he used too.One of the best pigeons in Anfield Plain fed is bred by him.He is also very knowledgable and will furnish you with the answers to most questions.

£2.00

Then go to plan B leave the baby till a couple days there is it seems a patent hole in the respitory system.hopefully it will resolve itself.With osmosis.This is the blood in the veins pick up the air and return it to the lungs and outside world.

They flew off.

What has happened and why is this the yb has a fault, it has a leak in its respitory system that has allowed air breathed in or out to go into the tissues. You are giving the same air a pathway out of the tissues. Sadley this is a recurrant condition it may occure again and again.

Get needle and stab the inflated part 20 to 30 times.Put savlon or something like it onto were you pricked it will deflate itself.B)Let it deflate by osmosis it will take 1 to 2 months. External pricking.

If you hang on till the end of racing there will be lots available.For cheap money aswell.

A little bit of good news, someone has been sent to prison for trying to smuggle peragrin eggs onto a plane. Thats 10 of the buggers that willnot hatch.

You will get them all just be patient. Good luck.

POOPS UPSIDE YOUR HEAD I SAID POOPS UPSIDE YOUR HEAD.

These threads are interesting and frustrating in the same way.The fastest pigeons at the moment to 200 mile are the Lambrechts.The fastest to 300 mile are the Van loons. The Mardon van reets have been ruined with Mardons constant adherance to the cock Toey.The Soontjens are very capable however they are better crossed.The Busschaerts are very capable however dedicated colonys are hard to find and as George died in 1982, its hardly surprising.The wildemeersch are very fast as well but will not trap on return.

Little hen 2010L2229 in at Lanchester.Completely flown out has given everything she has to her owner i will revive she will servive.I thank yow.

You are absolutely 100% correct. A lot of these birds are ill and this is not something developed over the last couple of days its long standing clamidia young bird sickness canker Some of my best friends are Scottish fanciers but a lot of lads north of the border do not recognise some of there birds are ill.I attended a liberation at Tow Law we picked up birds too ill to leave the transporter a nd put them back in.I would say instead of buying more birds invest in a book called FIT TO WIN.
