keep a dairy and when it works you have notes of how you achieved it thats the beauty of racing many ideas and theorys what works for Bill wont always work for Jack

the break down is supposed to be the race then feed lightly building them up during the week feed too heavy birds become fat exercise is reduced , feed too light there exercise is reduced , its finding a good ballance and you wouldnt feed the same for a sprint race as you would a distance race

good distance blood is out there still , i guess less and less are parting with them and more people like sprinting as quicker to get a good family together distance racing is all about patience and waiting

he doesnt look a day older than 897 lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i think Albears on the money , if no bubbles in the eye then its certainly not one eye cold if you havent cankered this bird it might be a good first step , as could be caused by canker

reford poultry , boddy and ridewood , Tauris , nbs , kev Locker , nees , premier stud , and a few others

them 12 rounds would be equal to 3 rounds with shots landed will have to give them 36 rounds next time ;D ;D ;D ;D

well at least he can go back to farming the hayemaker certainly dint have a good hit in him rocked the mighty russian once , i thought they had to be a certain number of shots landed per round thank god dint have to pay fer it total disapointment , seen better fights in playground

seems the last bit makes perfect sense to me

heard that also was pretty same as the Long sprint sale last year :X :X :X :X

was that the auction most were going around £60 werent they , was much better supported last year by stalls and people , i also thought was a bit disapointing i think it could of been better advertised

i liked the red pied

premier lofts

as said not much in to showing as for parking i got parked over road ;D ;D ;D ;D

mr c n p nee from Richmond won loads , think our local corn supplier / pet foods had one in show racers and Dave fussy who usualy judges around here had a higly commended , im not much in to showing hence only few notes lol ;D ;D ;D ;D

had a good day at Brid shame the turn out wasent too good not many stalls some quality birds there

nice birds

should ask them what happened to the other £3 GRAND THEY OWE YA LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

saw some nice ones at Brid

hi ho hi ho its off to Brid i go , catch you later folks

i agree i normaly like yearling to 420 miles , i sent to 524 miles as had no two year olds , when you have limited loft space if they cant do it they shouldnt be there

i have to agree with paramixo been ineffective the reason for this is overdosing and exposing the bird to it on a on going bases which in itself creates resistant strains so what is needed is where outbreaks have taken place is to issolate it and create a new vaccine rather than continue with a vaccine that doesnt work

then surely this says the vaccination is been abused no wonder lofts are getting super strains of resistant paromixo virus vaccine as there been allowed to get more stronger via exposure to the vaccine

then surely rather than expose birds unnessary to live bacteria which they shed exposing more birds to said virus is counter productive is it not ? so my money would be lab testing where they have the facilitys , as you said you dont have the facilitys to see what treatments are spectrum specific to the ailment given , you might know which ailment but the correct treatment is where the vet comes in as can drop on the petry dish and see what has the best effect on the ailment

still not happy about the paromixo thing and vacinate twice ? soilders have been campaigning for years about the cocktail of drugs they got before going to the gulf war causing serious illness sickness ectra so not all vaccinations are good Paramixo should be done annualy by the rules of the unions , if was done properly no birds would be missed ? as for paratyphoid its certainly not a requirement to treat for this as yet and what do you use live vaccine or dead vaccine ? it's been said only the live vaccine is effective but they will shed the live parathyphoid and expose more birds needlessly :-/ surely if have a microscope then quite easily to test all pigeons on a daily bases
