andy Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 have done a "head count" earlier , and surprised to find i am Wintering 88 birds . how many do you have this Winter ? 36 widowers and their hens of which 24 race, although I'm a wee bit overstocked with youngsters if anyone interested!! Also I keep 8 pairs of stock birds.
ALF Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 55 racers 12 late breds due to start training and 8 pair of stock doos that should be cut to 5 pair shortly
peter pandy Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 How things have changed over the past 50 years !! In 1965 their were 43 lofts in the club sending 400-450 birds weekly averaging 10 birds per loft and 20 youngsters were reared in 2 rounds. Nobody could afford to keep more and a 14ft loft was a big one. Now if you dont winter 60 birds upwards you are classed a small team fancier.. SO I will always be a small team fancier with no chance of competing against the MOB fanciers. Its no wonder the game is f££ked and we cannot get people to join. :emoticon-0179-headbang:
Paul Mac 31 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 36 widowhood cocks , 43 widowhood Hens

They must have set them up well??

Kyleakin Lofts Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 18 stock, 16 racers and 42 late-bred YB's still to train.76 in total over the winter, but they are still being let out at weekends, so that number could reduce, especially once the training starts.
