cheers mate i didnt realise you would be able to do a full team how would you manage that

 

Breaking a full team is a bit harder but it can be done

 

You thinking about moving your doos somewhere else or you getting a lot in once you get the new hut in your garden?

 

cheers

Yip it will be good havin a bit more space to play with

 

Am not too bad.Some of the youngsters are starting to look the part with their new feathers.you'll be noticing the same?

In the middle of painting the huts at the moment-Forest Green .I had some left from last year so it would have been silly to waste money on other stuff and at least now for the first time they'll all be the same colour

 

cheers

Probaly mate they were last out tuesday but some of them look like new pigeons they look good think its because I was feeding that linseed and they dropped most of there feathers

Just noticed the thread i started has over 10,000 views in 4 months when i look back at some of my previous posts i cringe but heys its the only way you learn i would like to think if a newstarter had a look through this thread the answers my questions generated could help them.

[geordie1234]

does anyone know were you can get those metal grills for the floor

[geordie1234]

I'm looking for a wee bit of advice again lol

 

im looking to change my loft set up im getting rid of the sputniks and thinking of jast having one big landing board right accross the front and then a hole in each section for the birds to get back in through bob wires then im going to build an 8 ft section for next years young birds.

 

does anyone think the sputniks are better than bob wires and do you think its better to have a big landing board

 

I'm also going to put floor grills in too does anyone know were you can get the metal grills iv saw them in a few doocots

 

Ive had to rethink my loft because i was going to be getting one of someone but i canny see it happn anytime soon

[geordie1234]

aye hopefully mate

 

do you think you could send a yearling over the channel

[Rooster J. Cogburn]

Another one of those things George-some folk do it with success others don't believe in it

 

I'm a year ahead of yourself in as much as I started back with youngsters last year.I was happy enough getting my yearlings out of Leicester or Maidstone this season with the intention of them going across the water next year as 2yos

 

If I had an established team of doos or there was a pigeon that was asking to be sent I'd maybe be tempted though
