OLDYELLOW

after 5 year old most studs would be getting rid as the strain of breeding has took its toll on them by then and they have lost there vitality

just because he was letting some of his stock go doesnt mean there were inferior , the fact could be he has enough good birds from them he can let them go , and bought some others perhaps different lines from the other sale , just because you already have good birds doesnt mean you stop looking for better , its when you stop looking you stop getting good birds , besides the jury will be out it the birds he bought in are better than the ones he already had

yup see the sliders well done

the use of the roof lights are great looks realy good nice 'dusty line' grizzle there

i reconise a few of them

well all deep litter taken out and a nice coating bianco added looks and smells lovely will check tomorrow if birds have rejected floor as a potential nesting site if not ill make it more uninviting for them

dont get me wrong i like my deep litter as soon as widowhood have reared and hens removed its going back in , there happy with it in and contented , a happy loft is one thats winning deep litter or not

contact grizzle_hen with your details mark urgent and request to become an approved seller

yup dont use it whilst breeding a mistake i wont be making twice ;D ;D ;D ;D

well if it wasent for bairn been alergic to dogs they wouldnt be any luckly enough most of them are pretty old and well fed and dont seem to bother with the birds

im determined to rule the roost i wont fly natural too much work and i can get better results flying widowhood as for open hole 7 cats at 6 flats next door and i like to give the birds a set routeen , i believe the birds rest better on widowhood and can utilise there engery racing and flying rather than feeding ybs and cocks chasing hens

if natural be fine , i believe the closeness the deep litter gives them as a community as ybs has carried over to the race loft , but this is not what i want

no worries i can fit in a suitcase if going over ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

the way i see it is this ok i dont have rodent problems , but if left ill have 2 sets of ybs at different ages on same nest thats a recipe for disaster , also i cant give the ybs any parentage apart from my own strain thirdly i fly widowhood and there rearing to have a bond with there boxes not the loft floor so im taking it out , they still have enough time to go down before my cut off date

yes but its not very good http://www.natural-granen.com/#undefined/Breeding_Station

After going on holiday to Turkey for a fortnight last May i decided to use deep litter in the form of hempcore making it easier for Kirky to look after my birds whilst i was away , my intension was to rip it out when i got back but i decided to keep it , well i paired up on the Monday after Blackpool quite a lot of birds down on eggs , then a few in the race team start laying on the floor so i decided to let them all seemed to be going fine till i went in to give there evening feed and to my supprise nests on floor getting more and closer together i was in disbelief they would want to do this then on way out on one nest on floor 4 eggs so today i have decided the deep litter will be removed and all nests on the floor , ill not use it during the breeding period in the race loft ever again nor let birds nest on the floor , i have posted this as even i can make the occasional mistake , one i dont intend to make again

well done Phils misses hope you all are very happy

too roomy fer a distance hen bet its good at the sprint to the fridge tho ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

top draw no photos of birds ?

All the best with your new venture

you may have them disabled in your settlings ?

have some of mine ;D > :'( :X :-/ :B 8) :K) : ??)

Brain longs Red barcellona wonder how many birds that beat ? the mealy in to Patrington how many did that bird beat ? list goes on ................

well if you went to certain lofts like Van loon no reds there but then if went to the greats like Sion , Bricoux and Van Der esp prodominately red so cant see your argument standing up , if you like blues your not going to be persuaded to buying reds in and vice versa , its down to individual choice

was a suggestion to resolve your problem , pm grizzle hen or Richard to see if you can be added to the list either way at this moment you cant post on the for sale board till you have permision from grizzle hen , so the quickest way is to take it up with her or richard
