Guid luck is last years winner going back?

[blaz]

yes she is going back along with the BB cock that was 2nd and the mealy .the mealy has been 6th in 08 and 13th in 09. i have entered 8 in to the race but if not totally happy with them i won,t send 8,the bonus about her going back is she was the least trained of all my birds.she is also in very good condision taking a 2nd in the 200 mile class at rosewell show.can,t put up to much on training and setting birds up for it on hear. as their are a few that send to it on hear that don,t let on .

Mine still use cold water outside, I break the ice and replace the water and they are in :rolleyes:

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

I never give my birds cold water to bath in at any time of year, you image your self getting in to a cold bath and what its like then imagine getting into a nice warm bath and your mussels relaxing.... same for the birds. IMO

[thomasd]

so its ok then to give bath in these cold icey days

As long as you don't do it too late in the day/too close to darkness it shouldn't be an issue

You'll be asking me to bring my sheep in next, if it's good enough for wildlings it's good enough for my birds

I went through a phase of putting out a warm bath for them.It came to an end when they decided they liked the cold puddle 6ft away better

[Guest Glen]

I use room temperature water for their winter baths, let water stand inside house overnight. We use warmwater to make our outdoor hockey rinks cause it freezes faster.
