grdkeith Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Having 50 in loft at start of YB season or having enough to average 50 per race ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philg50 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 The word mob flyer maybe the wrong use of the word ,i ,imagine opening the young bird loft and looking at 60/100 NE birds looking back at you thats not counting the rings sent for extra from SHU on some occasions ,some of these birds will only get handled when vaccinated if at all ,they are ushered into basket for training through hatches where possible ,a lot of these birds never see first race and are saddly depleted by third ,but you know all this ,Losses are being discussed in all feds with regards to youngsters ,i am not pointing the finger at anyone i am simply making imo observations flippant answers and stupid suggestions amongst the posts are to be expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdkeith Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Would suggest that remarks against other fanciers suggesting that they can't be bothered to report your birds or even more remarkable that they would be keeping them to improve their own birds quite insulting.Would be interesting to know who these 100 bird guys are who are cleaned out by race no 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
