Chatrace

I take it you do white releases with your birds, looks like a good group.

Well I got a report today after all clocks were in and the PB Auction Bird ARPU 409 finished 29th and you will be winning $100 in prize money for that spot. The bird flew 294 miles

the results wern't finished when I left the club,but we were 23rd and in the prizes when I did go, they were still reading clocks when I left. they pay back 53 spots

Today the PB Auction bird will be released at 7:30 from Huntington,ILL which is 293 miles for me. I will post later if it was in the winning birds. Of the 608 birds sold at the auction only 280 went to the race. Lets hope ARPU 409 will be in the Prizes. Havea Great Day

It is just one of many of my Hawiaiian Tuesday shirts. We used to dress like we were in Hawaii at work every Tues. You could use it as a tent it is XXL

Here is a Great little loft Brother that can be added to later if you want to expand. I built one with a friend in 15 hours for around $375 total http://www.redroselofts.com/starter_loft.htm

I didn't ship any birds for todays race. Glad I didn't ,they are bringing them back due to rain. I did get some Photos of the birds when I went to the loft this morning to feed. A few of the UK entries are shown on this site: http://hometown.aol.com/chatrace2001/photo.html

You can see the birds landing in a AVI here

Do you just worm on a schedule or do you check the dropping with a microscope. I would hope you wouldn't have to worm every 6 weeks,maybe every 6 months if that even

yes 5 hrs ahead you are. I have update a new Results page that shows the 5 wining places in the 1st 100 mile race http://hometown.aol.com/chatrace2001/2007results.html

The race birds were shipped tonight for Sundays race our club shipping photos are on this site http://hometown.aol.com/chatrace2001/photo.html You can see the Benzing ETS station on the desk

I only clock till I get my $5 bird in the pools all the rest are all pooled the same. we can only win 3 parts of any pool anyway so you could clock 100 and still only get 3 spots in the pools. The New flyer still can win as long as the pool $ lasts. most often it goes 12 spots in each bracket Dime, quarter. half, dollar. 5, 10

After thinking a bit what is the use unless you can seal the pad to the harness as all one needs to do is just buy another pad and plug it in and put it anywhere ya want, Naa ,no one would buy 2 pads :-)

well you better get the company to cast 2 holes in the pads ,because if you break the seal and moisture gets in ,your pad is junk and if you send it back and it has a hole in it . you may be able to use one of the hold down holes instead of the screw and drill the hile in the board it is sitting on

I don't have the M1 but have seen them used and worked with them putting birds in. Very nice clock, a bit pricy. I would like to have one when my Express goes as they are easy to work with and easy to read

Have Updated the Photo Page again today. 1st race will be this Sunday from 127 miles http://hometown.aol.com/chatrace2001/photo.html Have a Great Day

They have to use there flights for 2 years, I never had a problem as if one was damaged I would just cut it and remove so it would grow a new one

Some will go straight away, leaving the rest to circle,these are the one that beat everyone by 15 to 20 min. We try and train out birds to take straight away when training. We place then looking in the line of flight and let them out and never let any other birds go from that spot so they never learn to circle back looking for another flock. If ya can't release all baskets at one time move to a new location for the rest. If the sit for at least 15 min befor release that lets them get the bearing right.

Is the Web cam down I have tried to catch you as the birds come in and it says it is off line is there a new Address I'm missing Thanks

$150 for 2 birds, nice money. You can take a chance for that kind of profit and buy good ones with the money you make :-)
