would say basket training very important indeed ,y birds should be basketed regularly from day one [when separated ] in uncrowded conditions, given plenty confidence in the basket, to eat drink and be completely at ease, used to put coloured rings on and basket about 8 at a time in a big basket, and repeat this with the others, when it came to training time found they went through far less stress , being very quiet and still in basket

a little glucose in the water on return a very light feed of depurative mixed with yeast, lemon juice ,soaked and dried the day b4 a fuller feed later [type , depending on distance your racing] feed in boxes ,,, this being for w hood ,,for distance would hopper feed

i would agree with this one hundred per cent , i think there are some would be great pigeons ruined by this early torture [as i have found out myself in the distant past]

just wish i was the snooker player[ jimmy white ] dovescot :) :) yes i think i have met him b4

down south for a few days and seen as many sparrowhawks there,, as here, it [scot] really is bad ,, the whole country seems polluted with them now

no dovescot i think his name was spelt whyte

definataly agree ,, a better post now,, good luck on your night out

in my opinion the main thing would be to have the loft bone dry with plenty ventilation, look forward to see how things go ,, good luck

i would only be to happy to donate , as this dreaded desease has hit my family also
