geordie1234 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 one of my reasons for not breeding as many this season, also the old birds this year will be raced hard can't afford to keep a loft full of passengers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyyy Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 If people can't afford a lot of birds then they shouldn't keep alot, Also People shouldn't give up on a sport they love and enjoy.It's not just pigeon racing what expensive, It's everything, You can't do nothing cheap these day's.

andyyy Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 again agree with your post,everything in life seems to be going up and nothing ever seems to reduce in priceI know mate, Can't do anything cheap! can't even go for a nice drive with the price of petrol, Half the people who complain none stop about the price of corn keep at least 150 - 200 birds, One bloke in our club keeps 120 ybs, 50 pair of race birds, 12 spare hens to race and then god knows how many stock birds, Feeding that lot i would complain!

Guest H@wkBait Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 The fanciers to blame for the rise in seed when there was good cheap seed about no one would buy it they all wanted the fancy polished stuff £3 or £4 dearer a bag no one was complaining back then at paying extra 4 the fancy seeds taking the money out the smaller companys pocket so there also forced to put there prices up to stay in business!
