George did buy from Delbar however he didnt only buy from one fancier he bought the Klaren which cost as much as a house, in those days he did plan to pair The Klaren to the Coppi cock but as you know 2 cocks will not go together. So he paired the Klaren to the Cheq wf Sooten a dtr of the Coppi.A master stockman he dreamed of the pairings.When he first put the loft in his garden at Beverien a lot of the yb hit the wires the following year less hit the wires.Asked why he replied threr mother tells them.

In a competition of excellance there is only a cigarett papers width between one loft and another.John Tray, John Lynas and the Knighton family aces everyone but to suggest not being able to hold candles to them is icing the cake a smidge.The original Kavanagh Busschaerts were pure.But the better ones were crosses FVW X Bussaerts from John Soderland.Thats also true of the mink getting into Pert Hindmarshes loft.

Kavanagh Busschaerts are crosses, Busshaert X FVW.Scotlnds one loft race 2009 was won by one.

Its true Luella Busschaerts are a fraction of the price but if your pal paid that little bit extra he would do murder, the Pearson and Dransfield Busschaerts are 10 times better.My speciallist subject on mastermind was Remi George Busschaert.Ask me any question on George

The man George Busschaert died in 1982.Its true he did import birds and when brought in they were Busschaerts.However he never bought a yb off anyone to sell.He was a great stockman and he very often not only paired bird A to bird B. But he would pair bird B,s brother to bird A,s sister.Red 20 is not a sister to Pluto.Plutos only brother is his nest mate 69 320910.Shy lass the Danny Challis hen was not bred by George she was bred by Tom Larkins.Also Georges wife was Neytens sister.Georges best bird was a check cock de 85 nestmate to ladybird.Sadley de85 hit wires killed outright.

Replace this condys with lemon juice. You will win even more.Use the condys for bathing only.Its toxic to the liver.

This is a bathing material and allowing them to drink it could end your season .

Get peice of tough transparent sheet of plastic buy pigeon sticker from Boddy and rywoods Put pigeon transfer on plastic so the bird looks to be perched on fence.Hawk will hit it hey presto.Hawk funeral required.

Tom, im sure you mean well, however the reason this years rings are being dissallowed is you can apply heat to them and take them off.2009 rings are the same but becouse they have already raced wearing them they are being allowed to stand. Im sure you will be one of the first to shout if your national winner is found to be a ringer.(no pun intended)The ring must have failsafe features being unable to get it off is a one. When the ring cools it returns like a ripple in the lake to its old self.

Testimony to this particular familys drop in popularity is week after week the pigeon periodicals have loads of them for sale. The fancy doesnt lie, If thine eye affends you pluck it out.They are an atractive pigeon but dont seem to be able to cut the british mustard. The fastest pigeons in the UK at the mon=ment are the Lambrechts but when you consider the different terrains in Wales Scotland and Ireland pus the long mountainous regions of the UK like the Pennine chain.The best universal pigeons to suite all areas are probably Van Loons.

Minerals are vital once the young are born.If the parents are not given minerals the babies will squirt watery droppings out of the pan.Then they will fail.

We are talking of racing and or show pigeons loss of muscle function following laying so we are talking miniscule amounts.It is so little that to put a finer point you practically show the hen the calcium and shes well. NOT LITERALLY OF COURSE.She needs a little.

Some pigeons never learn to take grit or the cock drives so hard the hen isnt allowed there is enough vit D in the pigeons food to not req same.

The problem is calcium deficience. No ifs no buts no trapped wind no trapped anything put sol calcium in your drinker or give her a little corner of a calcium tablet by the time you put her back in her box. Or on the ground she will be well.

Ensure your pigeons are in very good health.Give them the stimuli they crave to race.also ensure your birds are fit.If your birds are linked to your fathers for training, then get up excercise your birds prior to your dad taking them away.EXAMPLE.... double up on exercise.Give lemon juice every day.

You will see a nest begining to be built.Rag it if they come back and build again rag it again.They will go back to there nest box.In the racing loft it is a bad president to set allowing this to go on.Even in the stock loft you will find they build beside the door its bloody murder.

Owen could not agree more.Fanciers today are no differant to any other generation of fanciers.They win little or nothing and blame the birds when in actual fact they are the culprit.If fanciers took a little time to read and study the basics of there sport instead of casting aspersions onto all and sundrie exept themselves.There are fanciers about who couldnt get Lassie to give them a paw.These same fanciers are at Blackpool buying the latest craze.Most fanciers birds they have are every bit as good as the birds offered.Read read read look at videos dvds, learn your art.Like i will ask you how many of you have cut the feather over the vent of an old cock.You have in so doing made things worse the stubble progs the hen she moves away hollow eggs.Lots of advice about utilize it.

Nobody can refund carriage,Thats like the seller paying for the buyer to have a look.The transport is a seperate issue.

Well said Paulo.

No this wasnt me.I wish no it was a pal of mine.

Last year 2009, A dead heat at 1st place in one of the French races to the same loft both birds came together.One timed in on one pad the other timed in on the other pad.Pigeon a timed as trainer on pad 2. The other pigeon timed in as trainer on pad 1.1st club both 1st fed both 1stWDA.

There is good pigeons in all the strains.Give the choclate Grooters to the ace pigeon men and they will do the biz.There is only a knats whisker between all the fast strains.Its the other factors that makes the differance.An earlier poster asks what are faster than the Koopmans.Soontjens, Lambrechts, To 200 mile.Van loons,Peter vd Merwe.These are all as fast some stay longer too.
