chickadee Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Really sorry to hear that Pete, as one of the most genuine guys on the site and having been gifted birds from you when I first started I would do anything to help. If they have blown off my husband will make you replacements that will remain in place the next time, just send me the sizes Carol
Guest Freebird Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Sorry to hear of your bad luck but hopefully will not be as bad as anticipated. Well all keep our fingers crossed hoping your losses are minimal. Maybe a wee sign to check the security of the loft all round before the real weather moves in. Chin up.

thunderboult Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 gutted for you pete, i had a sputnik blow off before so it could be the wind, but don't know how it could have killed a couple of birds unless they were in it. i've a few late breds here if you need any to breed off(brother's and sister's to winner's upto fed level). sorry again
Guest bakes Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 anylook pete did you mange to get anymore back through the day or is it bad news my friend all the best.
pigeonpete Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 Morning folks, thanks for all the pms i recieved yesterday, very much appreciated Right was 18.20 when i got down there last night, was nearly dark anyway i had 32 birds in the stock loft, 14 old hens/yb hens that were raced this year, they were all in with the cocks, 1 injured, hawk/wires? to dark to tell really, so out of the 18 stock birds had 2 of the roland jannsens stock birds in with old birds and 3 out on the stable, managed to catch 2 when it had gone dark! the other flew off in the dark :-/ so got 4 out of the 18, with the 3 dead :'( well hacked off, but suppose it was my fault, looks like must have had freak gusts of wind, the other trap was over the hedge (smashed) and other was on floor. they were only attached with the hooks they came with (never been a problem for 4 years) but must have worked lose over the summer with heat, and first bad weather, winds, ripped them off? So another lesson learned. Its bloody hard work this pigeon game :-/ Never mind, such is life, keep plodding on, Now as for the stock birds i have lent off the people on here i will pm you all with my appologies, and i will pay for any birds that have not returned, I feel awful about this, i really do :'( My son said he wasnt bothered, but i can tell he was.
