Update On New Loft

[The engineer]

Hi All

The latest update on my struggle to get restarted in the pigeon game. I have been working solidly for the last 3 or so weeks collecting and putting up the loft. It is now almost complete just waiting to fill it with some athletes of the sky. Managed to get 1 son into it working on the other 2 so fingers crossed. I am hoping to get some pictures however i am a bit of a techno phobe.

If anyone out there has some quality YB's they have spare or for a small fee it would be good. I am trying to keep the costs down to stop the wife realising how much the sport is going to cost. I even pay the local corn store a few trips buying little and often to hide the cost.

On the plus side the club i have got into is a 6 bird club and they have ETS which they loan to members that should save me some money. It is amazing how far everything has come on since i flew 25ish years ago. More minerals tonics and potions than ever. I think all we had was grit kirkpatricks i think black mineral and possibly pink now i am struggling to work out what to give them. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

stick to what you did 25 years ago, good birds, good feed, and

clean water, all the other products are there to make money

for the traders pockets.

yup keep to basics good grit and good feed and a good health plan and should be ok try to keep away from over treating and test rather than treat , better to treat for what your birds do have rather than prop them up with a medicine bottle

Hi Engineer,

Good for you starting up again. Very best of luck with that. If you are interested i have three pairs of stock birds you are welcome to. If you want them pm me. You will have to arrange courier.

Thanks for the kind offer however i am not really set up to keep stock birds at present. I am hoping to race some young birds later in the season then breed from what is left. Perhaps in the future i may need to think about stock birds.
