OLDYELLOW

the mealy is a grandson of the 'Old Yellow' cock so its in the blood

they arent bad fer a mealy and a black wf breeding are they

A few more first 3 same pair last silver grizzle singled reared monster

algae means the waters healthy clorine kills algae , all pants give off oxygen at night but cant se any benifit from it

i've no idea mate but they havent published this years rule book as yet so rules stands untill its published , if in doubt contact your regional secatary

139. These Rules may be altered by the Council at any annual general meeting provided that not less than 28 days notice of the proposed alteration has been given to the Secretary of each Local Region Committee and advertised in any two papers devoted to the sport of racing or showing homing pigeons circulating nationally in the United Kingdom.

it seems like they change the rules whenever it suits lol can soon put tray back in bottom and remove bobs or make a new trap but the rule was the pad was to be within the confines of the loft or trapping system to which mine complies at the moment they've had a year already to sort this

my birds can get out of standard sputnik or can get out by accident when entering / exiting loft

bird is within the trapping system so is confined

if a bird flys back the pad reads the ring again but doesnt register it which could cost seconds or miss a bird perhaps

the pad is two inch from the front of the bobwires as would be too far back to clock anything

he was refering to the WHPU rules

was in the closed position but does open

Thats easy enough to do as well as a drop down tray

whats the whpu ruling Phil ?

this is not for this site and will be locked

12 pints on Boddys site , be 8 by time i turn it over with one hand maths was never my strong point and converting even worse

because i dont like the birds dropping hard into the sputnik after a hard race as i believe its un-natural for them to drop this way its something thats been in me head for a while now , was going to make a new trap altogether , but now adapted im happy for now

:X :X :X :X thats over 14 pints :X :X :X

warmed up a bit cleared a little but couldnt see the hills so no training :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

thats a big drinker i use the 9 pinter by time its turned over its a 8 pinter

it just hooks on the front and rests on the bar at the back but birds cant go back on the pad birds took 3 days to get used to it , but trapping fine again , just need some weather to train in and they'll be down the road

heres how i have altered my trap for my ets system finaly my birds have got used to the change after 3 days

think this thread has been answered and they are trying to resolve the Frank Dooman situation so on that bases this thread will be locked

lets get back to pigeons , ill now lock this thread
