well done walter , the potion help thm lay quick JAM and pays for an extra bag of feed , your telling them to much walter :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:

[walterboswell59]

a few reasons for me jam one is i only breed of my proven stock birds and an odd pair of my best racers so want as many as i can from them 2 early bred youngsters have longer to get used to the loft and surrounding area before training and can have the benifit of training with my old birds if i want and have longer to get much more training into them before yb racing starts and 3 the most important to me i want to vacinate old and young at the same time last week in march and no jagging for the rest of the season thats my reasons m8

[walterboswell59]

i dont have any secrets rab and try to give an honest ans when im asked m8 and yes my stuff kills anything that i cant see but id like to put another myth to bed and that is pigeons laying in 8 days think ive had 2 or 3 in 50 years my birds take 12 to 14 days from parring to a new m8 and some even longer guys that come out with this mine are all down in 8 days p h are trying to give you the impresion there birds must be in better condition than yours as a young man i thought there must be something wrong with my birds because they were not down in 8 days but and that was me making sure they were the right weight before pairing it did not take me long to find out whos birds were in the best condition when the racing started

you always get some lay quick and others take an age and yes there all different , i have hens that wont lay for months if you remove there eggs without letting them sit 8 to 10 days before putting them under fosters ,

 

they seem to go in the huff for ages after it . Others just lay again in jigg time

Typical women huffy fkrs!!! :emoticon-0140-rofl: :emoticon-0140-rofl:

why try for a pair of stock young so early Walter. The old boys need the heat and sun on their backs. Your clermont winner might be there at end of season...take a pair then. If not, take a pair of him to another ticket winner.

might not be mick and he has been paired in dec every year since i got him and his half brother and the loft is heated m8 but he will stop filling them some day but ive plenty good inbred sons off him that breed winners so not to botherd all the other old cocks eggs are full and this way works for me mick

[Guest geordiejen]

with this mild weather some of my birds are laying,decided to let a pair sit them see how it goes.nothing ventured nothing gained.

[Delboy]

I don't buy into this mild weather malarchy, bright daylight and nothing else gets the mating hormones going.I remember when we had -25 degrees in December one year and I had all my pairs down on eggs so nothing to do with heat. A pigeon regulates its body to the same temperature regardless of weather. When its warm, the feathers open, when its Baltic, they are as tight as a ducks azz. Give your birds a freezing cold bath in the coldest of days and they jump right in ( as long as its bright weather )so they like bright sunny days regardless of temperature imo.
