GB06L 36034 was not only gifted to me by T_T (who is a member of this forum) but he also insisted on paying the carriage to get him and he's nestmate along to me. Well I'm pleased to report this pigeon topped the West Essex Fed for me Saturday just gone. I would publicly like to give a big thanks to T_T, cheers mate.

As the man would put it himself 'Top Bombing' Well done Mike.

Dagenham Essex, Full high cloud cover, s/w wind

Have you tried dressing his hen up in a uniform/suspenders :o does it for some ;D ;D

50p a pigeon in my club of which roughly 37p a pigeon goes to the fed.

Yep! you get your next 100 posts free of charge (but shhh dont tell anyone)

Your hen could have an underlaying problem which in turn allows the cocci count to multiply. The signs you are seeing are that of cocci but this may not be the major problem, cocci could be a secondry infection.

West Essex up at 12:30 from Wetherby

Give mine water, find it helps ;D ;D ;D

Burr I wouldn't paint the inside of the loft, I would leave it to allow the wood to breath. Regarding your roofing material I've no idea of the temperature fluctuation where you are but if you work along the lines of trying to achieve a constant temperature in your lofts you wont go far wrong.

Widowhood/Stock anytime after Blackpool weekend. Naturals end of Feb. begining of March. No real fixed dates just play it by ear.

Dagenham Essex Grey skies, drizzle. Light variable wind.

Don't know if anybody can throw any light on this. I remember reading about a successful fancier running a copper wire around his loft and burying it deep into the ground, in effect earthing the loft. Think it was to help in the breaking in of young-birds. Anyone heard of this ?

New Transfer Forms Over the coming months you will see a difference to the transfer form recording system. Presently you are required to write your transfers on a triplicate form. We keep the white form after processing and the yellow and pink forms are sent out to new and previous owners in stamped addressed envelopes provided by the new owner. In order that we can utilise the RPRA computer system and other technology to its best efficiency we will be dispensing with the triplicate forms. That will in part go some way to addressing the problem about size of envelopes mentioned above as you will now only need to send in one A4 sized sheet with the cost of the transfer. In return the new owner and old owner will get an A4 sheet back which looks very similar to the new stray report. In the fullness of time I hope that the cost of postage will be included as part of the charge instead of having to send in 2 SAEs but I am restricted to what we can do by the rules of the RPRA which state that SAEs must be sent in with transfers. I want to be able to utilise our office equipment to its best ability and that will mean having the return transfer forms inserted into the envelope by machine and then franked. Currently I have at least 2 staff stuffing transfers into the SAEs when in truth they could be better employed on other tasks. So there are efficiency savings to be made here. The new transfer form is available on the RPRA website under downloads and you can start using them as and when you wish. We will shortly run out of the triplicate forms here at the Reddings so you will start to receive the new A4 transfer forms in the post.
