hello has anyone any cures for my 9 yearold cock thats not filling his eggs this year any help would be much appreciated johnc

hello they are louella van reets thanks

hello frank no its not wilson i am in the east end of greenock im forty one had doos for 30 years where did you fly them

hello i only stay 2minutes fromthere can see it from my window there around 8 pouter lofts and 6 racing lofts in that area. greenock its self has 21 members in the homing club and around 60 pouter lofts not bad for an area about 15 mils long

i have just started back after a few years iv got a small loft back garden loft with two six foot sections and twelve yearlings for racing ihave got four pair of stock birds witch are just sitting a few days iwould be willing to swap four youngsters with anybody regardless of what they have got

if they come back from 30 miles its not a pouter youve got its a racer....

thief pouters will only fly around your loft area depending on the bird it usualy flys out and around the area looking for other pouters to tread it will not go beyond ahalf mile radius of its loft you must have it paired to another in order to break it it will go out for a fly lasting a few minutes then return to loft then out again they must be tame in order for you to work them they go out when you whistle and come in as soon as you call straight to you hand even if they have just been fed they are very friendly to the owner

i fly big doos and racers in greenock .this week end we have 8 flyers puting away 2 pair each on thursday to go odd on sunday. each loft will heve a person from another loft there to make sure no tampering goes on four cocks will go up with four hens should be a good bit of fun

hello red yes i know a lot of doo men in glasgow more so from maryhill area who i deal with.. thanks

yes thay bring in racers that have given up and sit about for a few days then come in for food most men in my area bring them to me as i am also a racing man as well who reported twenty three strays last year and only two where returned to there owners i was left with the rest that the owners didnt want .i try to toss them after 1 week most return to my area so when pouter men are looking for sitters thats what they get at least they look after them. and it is not a game there is a lot of fighting amoung pouter men in scotland it taken very seriously more so if you catch a bird thats well known from someone

yes thief pouters . you put your hen out to fly another flier puts a cock out they meet in the sky and the cock will put on a bit of style clapping his wings to the hen and try to get her to his loft for a tread .if the hen lights on the landing board a net is quickly banged around her. then i put a hen out in return for the other flier to try and catch also if the cock follows the hen into the hens loft he will be caught ive got very good birds that have caught hundreds of birds over the years and also lost alot of birds to .your birds need to know the score they need to have brains captured birds are sent to another flier around 30 miles away so as they dont come back to the person they heve been caught from because once they have been bsnged in your loft they wont come near it again unless it a stupid one .

i know a man who trains them 25 miles as young birds and they return but mine are not trained to fly in flock they mine fly odd or with there partner they fly with there partner for 30 minutes monday and thursday every outher day they go out by themselfs to try and catch onother persons birdthey are like racers in away you get good ones and bad ones its a serious game here in scotland

hello im from the west coast of scotland got about fifty pouters i also have friends (clients we call them}who we give birds that we catch and they give us the birds they catch do you fly against any one or just in a flock

hello i was wondering if any one fly pouters against other pouter flyers (big doo men) as ive been flying them for 30 years and looking to swap some thank you
