Cost of racing

[Guest]

Hi im just starting to keep racing pigeons this year and just wondering after joining the club do you pay to send birds to each race, or is it just the joining fee? Thankyou all help appreciated

u pay each race per bird u send

[pjc]

simple answer is yes, you will need to pay to race your birds but clubs/feds have different ways of charging.

Thanks. Any rough guides price wise

[Guest Grasshopper Lofts]

[Guest spin cycle]

we paid 55p/bird last year (50p to 'fed' and 5p club )....welcome to the site and great name....surprised no-one thought of that one earlier

Our fed Are charging us £9.50 a basket this year with up to 28 pigeons in it and i think our club is charging 40p a pigeon next season

Thanks thats quite cheap thought it would be dearer. Does anybody know any DVDs that could help a beginner like myself, not a novice but someone who realy doesn't know  ;D we've got 2 sheds one 7x5 and one 8x6 how many stock birds could we keep in these :-/

do you know any local pigeon fanciers that maybe prepared to take you under there wing for guidence?

You will always get help and advice on here but sometimes its useful to visit other lofts for ideas and brain picking.
