but within two days i had 54 back ( this was last year) and the foog was that bad i couldnt see the hedge 15 yrds a head of me!!! but just gose to they can do it i felt like jacking in when  that happened but after 2-3 hours about 25 had battled throught the fog and i had about 20 waiting the next morning!!!! by the next day after that i was 1 short who wall always a tag-a-long!

Hi Racer and sorry to hear the latest but please do not think negative as I'm sure the young birds will return. Have non of the stock birds showed up at the original loft yet or were they never let out there? I'm quite sure the racing guy's on here will be more than happy to help you out. Keeping our fingers crossed for you.

Hi Chris, sounds like a cross with an archangel. The Archangel or Gimpel as it is also known as  is a small bird about the size of a roller or smaller. The original colour / pattern is bronze (Gimpel Bronze) body with black wings. The whole body is also covered with a copper sheen like the sheen on a racers neck and the wings have a green sheen over the black. It also has a crest on top of head. The more sheen the better the bird. It is also on of the oldest breeds known. A nice wee bird.(wiseman)

sorry to but in again this looks lie it but more brown than black with bigger hood on head

still time yet mate hope they work back for you

[Guest shadow]

no theres no sign of stock just had 6 y/bs back fingers crossed just finnished new stock shed now empty

 

looking at your loft you could do with more ventilation at floor level at the front and more at the rear just under the eaves the two sputnicks are not enough to ciculate the air

Still time yet

[Guest racer]

roof eaves open all round plenty of air

[Guest racer]

and still no bloody stock back :(

[PIGEON_MAN]

roof eaves open all round plenty of air

 

Maybe plenty of air at roof level but the fresh air needs to come in at the bottom and take the stale air out at the top.

[Guest racer]

will put two in cheers

[Guest peter.j]

no disrespect intended to anybody here but the man has came on and posted that his birds have done one ,not for the loft inspectors to critisise his lofts ,i know its all done with the best of intentions but im sure  its the last thing he needs to hear right now....yis peter
