REDCHEQHEN Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I had 37/38 on the day, one next morning We have a new starter in our club who lives 6 doors away from usHe was like a dog with two tails having waited 35 years (and for retirement)to start racing pigeons - and this was his first race He was so excited - and was lovely to seeHe has been so enthusiastic He got one before we did - but it wouldn't trap..........C'est la vie!

neneland Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I buy 20 club rings and 20 NFC rings - but seldom fill them. I will send some to One loft races, others to the Breeder/Buyer and keep around 12/16 for myself. These will be sent with the old birds when the come back races arrive and to every young bird race plus if any are left, The NFC young bird national. I still hold that sending with the old birds helps with confidence, experience and reduces stress. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
