Through out the 2012 season, regularly fanciers posted on Basics about experienced/past winning birds being lost from various distances. It would be good to hear of Basics members experiences on this topic, ie, which good experienced/past winning doos have you lost, and where from? What had they achieved, before being lost? Also, any idea what happened? Thank You

Absolutely hammering it down here now in Fifehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0156-rain.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0156-rain.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0156-rain.gif

All 4 birds are now gone, thank you for all the interest folks. Original pedigrees will go with these birds. Good Luck!

All 4 birds are 2008 bred, the hens are nest mates with the 2 cocks, I have 4 birds in my race team from these pairs, the furthest I have raced them out is to Leicester 260 miles, I have always had them paired together, ie cock from 1 nest to hen from the other nest, maybe should have tried them with something else, ie my janssenshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif I have culled other stock birds this year, but I believe these may do someone some good, so if anyone wants to give them a go, pm me. the hens are currently like burst pillows, due to the moult, hence no photos, hens are a blue and a dark chequer. thank you

one of the cocks

Earlier this year I promised myself that I would cut down on the number of birds I winter, and now that I have all my birds split up, I have some stock birds (prisoners) that I am willing to give away free to anyone who would like them, 4 Vandenabeeles, I purchased from by Colin Crowe aka roundo, 2x hens and 2 cocks. New owners must be able to arrange collection. If you are interested please pm me. Thank You

Still very damp and heavy cloud in the sky, here in Fife this morning.

Very nice m8, good luck with them next seasonhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/animatedpigeons.gif

Thanks for all the comments and pm'shttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0167-beer.gif

Now that the 2012 season is behind us, and the majority of fanciers will have done or planning to split up their pairs. I have just finished splitting my birds up, and all hens will now be confined to the lofts, until due to be paired up next year, the cocks may get their freedom at weekends. Do you allow your birds to fly out over the winter months, or do you confine them to the loft? Thank You

A WARM WELCOME M8http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif
