andyyy Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Today while feeding up the birds, One hen decided to walk out through the open door, and of course the cock followed! They had a good fly round and then both dropped, And trapped into the loft! Made me think how much i miss having the birds out daily, and seeing them come back from training, And from a race! April can't come fast enough for me, What are your views?

Guest pigeongirl Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 bred early this year due to needing the stock to run as the w/hood hens and cock for my race team this year so my young are just hatching now. carnt wait for the new season to begin, i am fed up of being bored. had a few loft conversions to do but all inside done a while ago and now only the outter trapping areas to finish. best of luck all with the 2013 season hope we all have a good one.

Aww nice, I love it when the 1st few start to hatch! Mine are due to start hatching until next week, I've made a few changed too! New boxes for the cocks, i just need to move the hut for the hens, and put the trap on for young birds, When it comes! Thank you, I hope you have a good one too!

geordie1234 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 I'm considering letting my stock just run with all the racers as I will be on open bowl anyway so will make things easier for me. All about keeping it simple this year
