  6. all depends on the race distance most diets are more geared up towards carbs with protein in small quantitys , to me this is more sprint racing , 500 miles + more protein is needed
  7. plenty of wind about just now
  8. Van Loons good up to 400 miles
  9. average speed for a pigeon no wind about 40 mph
  10. all depends on weather and wind speed and direction and wether it gets hawked or hits wires or clashes or heads straight for home
  11. in a aeroplane glider or microlyte or air balloon ?????

  15. van loons are catryesse x Jansens , the silver shadows are the later crossed with Tourniers
  16. yes thats a cracking bird
  17. homing pigeons , hopefully the type that races
  18. well if the birds are getting filled up with water then there parents are giving too much water , usualy this is a sign of canker imo , lets say they needed more salt you add it to the water there still going to drink even more water still , they need to pump the ybs with plenty of protein not water
  19. my water doesnt contain any salt its fresh clorinated water , not brakish water ??? salt is actualy poisonous in large quanitys , pigeons should get enough natural salt through the mineral pickstones we give them
  20. giving salt to wet feeders would make the problem worse , salt creates thirst hence why pubs used to give salted peanuts on the bar so you drink more , birds that pump ybs by giving too much water create wet boxes and inferior ybs , i find that it's usualy inexperienced breeders that do this mainly yearlings , i find that giving a feed pot in there box usualy sorts this out rather than using electolytes
  21. I have only ever bought one bird through this site , had no problems what so ever , arranged to collect it paid for it however i feel buyers have the right to be annonimous and pm bids should be accepted , however i do feel that the pm bids should be added to the thread minus users name before end of sale and on completion of a sale the pm bid to be copied and pasted as each message is time stamped . It's also important that if your conducting an auction you should be onsite for at least an hour before to conclude the sale . Sellers : Should ensure that payments are recieved before birds sent out , if theres problems with a sale where people have decided not to go through with the sale , thats the right of the buyer , yes it waistes time and is unfortunate , a contract of buying is only finalised when payment is recieved and bird or item recieved . The best way is to get a paypal account and get buyers to send funds dirrect , this is by far the quickest means for both seller and buyer . Auctions : members should ensure that when bidding they have the funds to buy no birds should be sent until the funds have cleared and a message from the auctoneer has been made . With ybs swaps ectra this is a bit of a grey area as most good lofts will select the ybs and if see fit two ybs could easily become one as the vendor / swapper may remove any inferior bird . On many occasions i've actualy given an extra bird free of charge . I'ts important for sellers to tell admin or the site moderators of anyone who is trying buying and not paying as these offenders shouldnt be allowed to bid / buy birds as unfair on others , so if you have anything unresolved please pass on to THEFIFER via the pm system , the site cant be blamed for how others conduct themselves and sales falling through thats between the seller and buyer. On that note this thread will now be locked .
  22. i only use after racing on return from race , or after treatment where body loss has occured
  23. if money was no object id be in the sun complaining about crap food watching a few rollers lol
  24. yes i use IE but use photobucket , you might need to reduce the file size
