Would always do what I can to help other fanciers or novices, does not cost much to raise a youngster for these folk, or good causes.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/animatedpigeons.gif

aye Glen , thats the way it goes these days

[geordie1234]

yes all natural

 

do you get in the positions at that distance or do you feel the darkies come into play then? The reason i'm asking is I want to get my youngbirds out as far as possible but not sure if I want to darken them.

 

cheers

my tip would be breed later 10 weeks old they should be ranging and ready fer training 4 weeks training then ready to race breed to early they'll be falling to bits give yer cocks 2 to 3 races hammer yer hens What's left should give you a good team

[airdrie2]

HAVE NOT GOT THAT PROBLEM I HAVE NO EGGS ATALL.

have you paired up this year yet toosh

[geordie1234]

Why hammer then hens but not the cocks?

[lenton1163]

[Guest Tooshy Boy]

THE BEST OF LUCK WITH THEM MATE .///

Many try to save enough cocks to fly widowhood and hens like the work jmo
