[budgie]

What are the most important aspects that you have learned and put into action over the last year to hopefuly better yourselve for the oncoming season for us which starts this Sat18th April with the Lanarkshire Fed from Kelso. We have addressed the Loft,Overpopulation,Preventive Vaccinations,PreventiveControls,Quality of the pigeons and our system and only time will tell.In every loft there are only a handfull of Good Ones but what is a good pigeon and as i have said before keep searching for better racing stock and dont buy Aged Stock Birds and keep away from the sales that are off-loading their Shi-e. :(

All the Best on the oncoming season look forward to your comments.

Make sure its dry,draught free,well ventilated and facing south east if possible,this will create enough sun in the loft and make sure the materials you have used in the new loft dont give out any fumes.

All the Best with your New Loft and your 2009 season. ;)

You have done the right thing as to many pigeons (Overpopulation)in the loft causes problems with health.With what you have done and a good variety of clean feeding mixtures (without mites and fungus)which pigeons need, make all the difference to your season.

Good Luck

yes, i agree,, a well ventilated , clean ,dry , under populated loft goes  long way in keeping stress down [the biggest cause of problems, in my opinion] also good clean grub, it doesnt have to be the dearest,,but needs to be  well stored   and  free of any nasties
