[Guest WINGS 04]

I WILL BE SENDING 1 HEN

[Mark Bulled]

Sorry to be ignorant.

 

Why are members sending so few?

 

Losses? Cost? Distance?

 

(or am I just a mobber :

[Guest]

some dont keep big teams and its a big jump for some. 278 miles to me 74 mile jump and even alot more for the north section.good luck to all sending

[Guest WINGS 04]

WE ARE JUMPPING 140 MILES THIS WEEKEND

[Jumbo]

Mark i am only sending 5 because with our fed programme we are only at 100 mile and the national is 323 to us if it was not for the Aberdeen Fed letting me put those 5 with them last week to Northallerton 202 mile i would not have any to go.

[Mark Bulled]

I understand - thats a fair jump and to be honest Ive never sent a baby over 300 miles. The longest I ever had on the North was Berwick 290. Longest this year is Geurnsey 196, but half of that is water!!

[Guest]

Not sending any, basically the moult is against me, was pretty surprised by amount of feathers they have dropped in just last few days, even the birds home from Saturday's race are a lot different feather-wise from when sent.  :-/

 

Reckon our fed programme was geared toward this race, we had a 70 mile jump in it and last race at 185 miiles at the weekend left a 70 mile jump again into the national. Was looking at 100 mile jump for one hen, but all change last few days.  :-/

[shotgun tim]

il prob send 5 to each national see how they come

[Henrik]

Gonna send some but will decide on Thurs how many. 150ml jump for them

[Chris Little]

Zero  ;D ;D

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

12 + all being well.

[budgie]

With the returns we have been getting we are going with 12.Jumping them 140mls is not a problem as long as they are Healty/In fine feather/Coming steady and more importantly good enough.On that subject what % of bad pigeons do fanciers think they keep.

Good Luck to all. :)
