I didn't know you have some Christmas race. Is there a lot of pigeons in tose races?

They are together since the 26th November. When is the last race for the yb in UK?

I breed 60 young birds. Nearly 1 bird out of 4 is killed by the birds of prey… They are in the dark from March to the end of May. From the 21st June, they are lightened. I train them more or less 15 times before the first race (15 May). After 4 races, I remove from the flying team (not from the loft because the partner of this pigeon has to stay motivated) every young bird which misses 2 times in a row. Sexes are separated on the first week of June. Males and females are together about 5 minutes before being placed in baskets. This year, they have never been on the road between 2 races.

Thanks. Yes, I live in the french speaking part of Belgium (not far from Liège).

They are all sitting on eggs now. I breed early because I only play young birds and I want them to be te more mature as possible when they begin the races in May.

5x1st with the young birds on Laon, Soissons, Cul-des-Sarts, Soissons (again) and Nanteuil. I am happy because it's my second year at home with pigeons (I've had pigeons with my father some years ago) and the year before I was unable to win. I will continue to play only young birds. This year I haven't done the dark in my loft, but I'll try next year.

I have introduced 3 of them this year. I only play young birds but I should be able to give some feedback next year.

I am sure I will enjoy it. Thanks!

Thanks!

Lost 8 young birds and I had no pigeon reported this year.

I keep them confined to the loft on the day of basketing.

In Belgium, I think Stickers – Donckers (Lille) are the best.
