I use cider vinegar in the water 2/3 times a week,all birds.I have never tryed it myself but should.We give our birds the best of health,good food,good exercize,good treatment, what do we do for ourselfs ?
I have tryed the clove in the water and the oil on the corn and find the oil on the corn more effective as the birds eat it all.When using a clove in the water i found it leaves slime around the drinker after a short time.
Well i aint been to the blackpool show yet but would love to go nxt year.how about a pigeon basics meet up..I would love to put a face to the posts on here...
yeah well done samantha birds look very happy the dog does too.Do you let the dog mingle with the birds i would as the birds grow to love the dog and will land on him etc..well done
If i was to race widowhood i would race them seperate but this means having spare cocks and hens always at home for there mates arival.I think the roundabout system is bigger than ever now and thats the way forward.Next year i will be flying 12 cocks pure widowhood flying to spare hens and the rest of them on the roundabout.
Thats not good bart as i thought louella would have compensated you on that one.
Another question i ask is,has anyone had health problems with birds bought from louella, respitory,canker,etc.The reason i ask is a fancier of 40 years flying told me he tryed louella
spent a lot of money on sons & daughters from top lines and he had nothing but respitory problems and had to get rid of the whole strain from his lofts.I must say i had birds but they are in stock and cant see any respitory problems.
heres some others that have scored good for me..
Camerons lad 3276..2 x 1st,3 x 4th,23rd section etc.
567 chq cock 1st club,8th fed

Its a cock snowy mate and was driving 2 hens to 1 nest at time of his win...hes been sitting for 2 races after winning but never timed so maybe he like the drive..
I had a good enough race should have been 5th & 6th birds didnt trap but got 44 of 49 birds within 30 mins.I was seconds behind the winner so im happy with them.My young have been left with there bowls for 4 races now and im thinking about splitting them for the last races.Not sure what to do as they are coming very well but i told myself i would split them after 4 races ?.
yeah the lib line has been a bit blunt lately.The birds have been moved to newark for whatever whatever out of our hands and all that.Just tell us why simple as.
My darkness youngsters have a full wing.I took them off the dark june 24th.I have a few naturals and they have about three to go.When does people stop there naturals ie how many flights to go..
Those Adrie v d rhees look the part i must say.I will say if i buy from louella again i will race them not get them for stock.Looks like most people stick with the locals.
Thanks for the replys people.
