Chipping

Chipping (2/8)

  1. try feeding 50% barley/depurative & 50% normal feed.... if you notice in the young bird season some youngsters have got blue/grey tongues due to feeding a heavy protein mix but when you lighten the feed up they excersise much better getting fitter and in doing so the blue/grey tongue goes away(ie they are carrying internal fat) this also happens in older birds...my thoughts only...
  2. 1st & 2nd round as normal for racing, inbred latebreds for stock(only off the best breeders though)
  3. I know what you are going through mate, when we started back up again in 2000 we borrowed a good pair of joe shore based stock birds, the little b*****d killed the cock plus 5 latebreds i had gifted to me.. I blame the little b*****d for my dads heart problems.. keep your chin up and don't pack the birds in you'd miss them
  4. never had any problems used it for the last 3yrs
  5. Alan Darragh has got to be one of the best
  6. going back to the sex indicators if you see any at any of the shows ignore them they are expensive for what they are.... a .22 pellet with a piece of cotton tied onto them... got suckered 5yrs back and never forgot it
  7. i had 6 jan aardens brought for me as a birthday present in 2006 got 1 left she had 4x1st as a young bird 3x1st as a yearling 2x1st as a 2yr old plus the 2nds, 3rds and 4ths aswell a young hen has won out of her this year......... 6 for 99 quid, can't be bad the same as anywhere there's good pigeons and bad ones just got to try and find the good ones

    lurcher

    try the countrymans weekly always some for sale in there off good working lines (lurchers and terriers)..reasonably priced aswell
  9. hi all, during this stressfull time of the year which do you members find is the best feeding method hopper feeding 24/7 or a measured feed (if measured approx how much per bird)
  10. if i remember rightly it's got garlic, onions and iodine in, if it's the same one the birds came up a treat, it was just too much hassle to make though..Andre van der weil does something simalar but without the iodine in....
  11. Hi all, Norban oximate, is it as good as i've heard and has anyone used it....
  12. Cats, rats, mice.. i'll have my bedlington terrier any day..good barkers as well they'll let you know if anyone is around..
  13. 13th and 24th and 84th open lessay 53rd open fourgeres 8th open messac all with the N.M.C.C. Plus any club and fed positions
  14. In belgium/holland they used to cross the van loons into the birds of albert van de flaes, the van de flaes pigeons were mostly reds the base of these were direct jansens...Could be the same lines???
