Squeaker

Squeaker (4/8)

  1. whats the best way to settle my young birds into the old bird loft and get them flying to it for next season it is 60 mtrs away from the young bird loft thanks
  2. we can only get the versele laga range here gerry, depurative ,superstar ,energy,sneaky mix etc etc
  3. Thanks for that Andy and i have tried to get in with him and have but he isnt giving anything away
  4. yes i try to handle all the birds at marking day and most of the guys who are beating me seem to have lighter but more filled out birds if you understand what i mean, ive try to lighten mine but they just seem to get a bit keely and dont fly well around the loft when i cut the food back
  5. his arnt first bird home each week but he racks up good points and was champion last year even though he didnt win a race but hes always close ,im just trying to find a consistent formula from the versele laga range to compete as im a newbie and this is the only feed we get here my birds are just not in the first birds yet and they are from very good birds in england, a polish guy who races and does ok said he had to change from how he fed in poland to compete here with it being colder so im struggling at the moment to get it right and getting info from the guys here is like getting blood out a stone
  6. theres a guy next to my loft that when he lets his birds out they are always way higher flying than any of the other 4 lofts birds on the area so my question would be how do you get them to fly that high ,ive tried feeding less but still not the same his are like dots in the sky and only fly for about 15/20 mins

    Feeding Hens

    thats pretty much what ive been doing they just seem to have stopped flying around loft ,they was doing between 40 to an hour once a day but have just switched off for whatever reason so would you flag them to make them fly ?

    Feeding Hens

    I have a problem being a novice with my hens being heavy come race day, I race roundabout and the cocks flew very well today 1668m/min and I missed out of a win by a couple of seconds so they are fine. I let the cocks out twice a day 5.30am and 3pm but only once a day for the hens due to work etc I have been feeding the same times for the hens but they are heavy and just don't seem to fly in afternoon when let out more like a couple of minutes then wanting in so I'm presuming I have a feeding problem with them so can anyone who races similar and does well give me some guiders as to lightening them up and also getting them to fly when let out we race 80 up to 250 miles .you can pm me if you want to keep it private atb nick
  10. shot down my loft when i see these out
  11. First year racing for me so this is my best bird to date she was 3rd best young bird in Iceland this year.
  12. cant wait to see the finished loft , looking good so far
