Hi people back on line at last. Hows peoples season going so far,mines going good but could be better.I won our first race putting three birds in the clock to come off 1st,5th,7th and 5th & 12th fed. Our second race was a very strange race for me i was almost last after a super first race,our third race of the season i was just out the points finishing 7th & 12th getting 100% return all three races. so hows your season going

i have also had this happen but the three eggs were out within 4 days,i asked older members of my club was this possible and they said i must have been another hen but all the hens in the loft at that time were sitting two eggs.very strange it got me thinking,all three eggs were full

excellent results there pigeonjock,where do you fly

thats a good idea i shall remember that one.

me and snowy meet at blackpool,our parents said we arnt related in anyway

next they will be banning us from drinking in a pub,how can a smoker go out for a drink and not smoke,

I have an idea POOL THAT BIRD ON RACE DAY as thats what you want in a widowhood cock ?

Hi mobster if you goto the photo section on the forum and find,,mr pigeonbasics and mrs pigeonbasics you can see some of us there

snowy once i ring my birds i check them everyday as last year i bred a youngbird for someone and when i gave them the youngbird (to race) it had no ring on,,whoops

Bruno when you planning pairing up as its getting on a bit.

Our club is a strong club but i must say there no youngsters.i would say the youngest is 25

can i get it from the health shop ?

For the 2 season i have raced i have had alot more hens,my first season i had around 75% hens and had to stop some cocks.

natural for the past two seasons but having a go at roundabout for the 2006 season,done well on natural so will see how they go on roundabout.

had a look on the unc website and couldnt find anyting saying maybe belgium,who told you this sbelbin

I have had provit in for a few days nows as last week i noticed my birds wanting to be in the garden alot and eating everything in site,soil/leaves/grass but the droppings were fine then so i added some provit in a pot thinking they must be looking for something else.they ravished the provit and the grit now giving them wet droppings,its got me head twisted :-/

Thanks people for the help.

Keep ys chin up spelblin but i know how you are feeling,i had a few watery droppings today and that does my head in setting my mind thinking they are off. my birds are eating grit like theres no tommorow and drinking the drinker dry in hours,i know they have young in the nest but i aint seen them go mad for the grit like this before..its as if they are lacking something...any ideas people

could we have a list of who bought what please so we know where the birds are going to thanks. Well done to everyone who took part.

Has anyone heard of sedicol,i was watching a pigeon dvd and the fancier uses it 3/4 times a week,just wanted some info on the product thanks

i put my youngbirds over when they are fully featherd under the wings,they must also be pecking/eating on there own or maybe starting to leave there box.

in our club we have 27 lofts flying the 2006 season and its the highest our membership has been for years with 46 members, just three weeks ago while i was out and about i bumped into a old freind i have not seen for 10+ years,he asked me what i got upto these days,i said pigeons,pigeons,pigeons.He asked if he could visit my loft as he had kept a few high flyers in the past and would love a look around my lofts.Well three weeks on my freind has his own loft next door to mine,he took over the oldest most rotten loft on our allotment site and most of the members said he wouldnt do anything with the state the loft were in.Thanks to a handfull of or members who have helped do up the old loft for him he now has a loft to fly the 2006 youngbird season,BUT he never had one single bird only 20 rings,i took the rings from him and asked the members of our club would they fill a few rings for him and everyone i asked apart from one members said yes,he has since been gifted some nice looking stock birds also. i say stop thinking about the sport dying and do something to help get new members into it.

well i go for £1650 hopefully its more mind

Hi rose just wondering what day do you give them honey/garlic and cider vinegar before they go to race. last year i added honey and sea salt to the drinkers on return of the birds but never noticed any change,this year i with stick with electrolights

thats strange as my birds go for the maize first and leave all the maple peas till last,i also have some conditioning seed or red band and they get a pince after every feed and they seem to love the sead.
