[Dodgy Trapper]

How many Y/B birds did you lose?.

How many did you end up with?.

Liz and me lost 2 racing and we lost 2 off the loft and 1 training, so we have 30 out the 35 we started with, and we have lost a lot less racing in England than I lost when racing in Lanarkshire, the race we lost most in was our first race and that was only 2, but other members in our club lost more than we did, so we are very happy with what we have left, so we would like to say thanks to our controller for a super job this year

[carlsberg]

started racing with 10 birds lost 4 racing so far got 6 left but i have sent 3 to perth this week 240 mls so have 3 left in shed

[Guest IB]

Worst YB year I have ever had, lost them off the top, training & racing. Reared 29 which includes 5 late breds + 1 hit by a hawk, all untrained & unraced. In addition to these 6 pigeons, I have a further 3 which I raced (left). So basically lost 20 out of 29, and losses were 3 max at a time, a steady drip from the first time they went outside.
