A pic of my y/b pen and before cleaning I give a light mist spray so the fine particles are not in the air it is not 100% dust free but does help with my PFL and if you look at the post of my yearlings you will see the birds are in good condition despite the open aspect of the pen, but I feel they do eat more so if you have an "open" loft you may need to feed more than you would with a traditional loft design

Cheers mate , just need some decent training weather now !!

Juat a few updated pics now they are on eggs and Y/b`s this hen seems to be barren :-/ and is sitting out on some "pot" eggs a shame as she seems a nice type but it will give me chance to manipulate things when she is racing on natural the "barren hen" and her mate

My 11 year old nephew has had a sparrowhawk in amongst his rollers for the first time this morning :-/ he is still sat outside waiting to see if the 2 that are missing show up again .......

With only having yearlings it will be about another 3 weeks before mine see the basket and then only if the weather is good , once they have been trained I will put them in the midweek for a few short races before deciding on a longer term race plan for the year , they may just race the midweek program and start the hard work next year when I will hopefully have a larger team

if you intend taking another round make sure there is a 2nd nestpan as he is probably driving her again or if babies are 14 days let the cock sit/ feed during day and then lock cock in spare section and let hen sit feed at night and then remove y/bs as soon as possible in case he starts knocking them about as well

Best way is to open a photobucket account and upload pics to there and then just copy and paste the IMG code on to any posts on here http://photobucket.com/

Not sure if still the same now but MNFC used to be that youngbirds had to be wearing a MNFC ring to compete in there races , but old birds as long as in owners name can be wearing any clubs ring

I read the same thing ,

The ch pied is a hen given to my thunderboult from this site as a mate to enable me to race my birds to safe mates that won`t be raced , Thanks all for the comments

They have been trained to 50 miles and had 4 tosses from there and about 12/15 tosses in the build up to the 50 mile stage also they had a single up from the 20 mile stage , will probably give them a few midweek races then step them in to the fed races at the comeback stage , I need to hold as many as possible to build a team for the next few years

A few of some of the yearlings I will be making re-start with this season, trained but unraced as Y/B`s

Try and get hold of a copy of the book by Alf Baker "winning naturally" many tips and pieces of good advice in the book for natural flyers

3,5 & 7 , if I could only have one and had to pick just one from the eye pics it would be 7, not a massive eyesign enthusiast but like eyes of that type :

A chipped coffee mug :'( :'(

Fantastic offer especially with all the crap you have taken from some on the site

A stunner , shame I`m skint lol

Look nice healthy pups, is the blue fawn at the back in the 2nd pic a dog or *expletive removed* ?

If you worried just float a pair of eggs off another pair under them
