    Robert McCubbin

    i met him at blackpool a few times. he was a fantastic bloke and my mum, god rest her soul, thought the world of him
  3. contact brian wall at gem. not only is he a good fancier he is genuine and 100% honest. personally i have not used it but that does not mean it is no good. brian will tell you all about it withouy trying to baffle you with science

    WINTER

    so long as they are well watered , fed and bathed it really makes no difference to the pigeons. have tried both ways and still find they take the same time to come into form when you need it.
  5. far too many yb's bred. breed only as many as you have the time to look after PROPERLY. twenty years ago it was unheard of to breed above 30 young birds but they were well trained and the fancier could look after them
  6. no info but thats not surprising as i live in cornwall. only keep 10 pigeons myself but have a few contacts if they need any pigeons
  7. i,m another who had injections when i was younger. not nice and can have serious side effects. if you cannot enjoy your pigeons without it then pack up
  8. so long as the birds are healthy get them in a basket it beats all the theories

    allotments

    anyone here fly to allotments. i'm hoping to get one for next season as i only have room for a 6x4 shed at home which i am currently flying to
  10. dont think it will ever be equal but do believe that the more you put in the more you get out
  11. i had a similar problem and cured it through feeding. dont be afraid to miss the odd feed and have them very hungry when they go out. once you have them in the habit of trapping straight back you can increase the feed a little at a time and they should not get the habit back. my own golden rule is that anything not in the loft within 20 seconds of landing goes without food. they soon learn
  12. t certainly was in blackpool and i believe we both judged that year. the pigeon crack that night was top class and from memory i believe you actually slept with jimmy! i vaguely remember my wife being evacuated and having to come in the bar for me to let her back in the room.....she is now my ex!! haven't won the lottery yet but if i do you'll see me there. hope the family gets everything they deserve from this once in a lifetime sale
  13. i think things will be back to normal after the winter. if the french wont have us then i'm sure the belgians will and that would certainly give me some distance!
  14. paratyphoid is a biggie i'm afraid and theres only one cure that i knoe of. however i would try and get them looked at by an experienced fancier if i were you
  15. sstarted with 10 and have five left. 2 lost training 2 from 75mile race and one off loft after it had been raced. have to admit to being a little confused at why so many are bred
