Pigeons again.

Mated birds.

looking good hal, nice and healthy for breeding ............

There looking well Hal

Like me .multi coloured swap shop Haha. Looking well

You will have to let me know what you are feeding them on Hal, I might change my eating habits.

Regards.

Misty. I keep it simple and cheap. The corn I get 100lbs at a time. Free. From the friend I give bids to.
Corn coming off here waas too high a moisture content. Imix that with wild bird seed. To raise the protien
when needed, I add safflower. Oyster shell grit with crushed livestock mineral block. Small pieces of it.
Sometimes if rice is on sale wife picks me up a few pounds. Add that but usually just the basics.
Of course, summertime and basically open loft they find there own treats.

They look in great condition, that maize is about as good as I've seen anywhere!

My type of fancier Hal, keep things simple.

Regards.

Like the idea Hal, pigeons picking up their own tip bits when on open loft, often thought that many times fanciers think their pigeons are flying a couple of hours when most of the time they are fielding, undoing the damage fanciers have done stuffing rubbish down their throats.

Seen many racing pigeons fielding.

Regards.

Got a few down here Misty fielding I suspect etc after I had a brain fade moment type of thing with my hens yesterday Was time to go bush again here & get a load of grain & stock up for xmas & when I mentioned it to my other half, she suggested I go a wee bit further & pick up a load of horse shit while down there for her lovely roses type of thing. Now, being a man servant type I said yes dear & how many bags full would you like . So any one here up for a wee challenge as I did some thing I've never done before in my time in the sport as such I'm & it played out some thing like this etc as when I drove down the road leaving home, I did not have, in my loft 1 hen of any description left for future reference if things went belly up in a big way     as they were all in the back of my van about to set off on a venture of a life time type of thing  & especially for all my old stock hens there being 6/8/10/12 years old & being sadly locked up for the best part of their time there as most do down here. Now when after doing what I had to do, I arrived home & believe it not I still had one empty loft of hens & then just thought to myself, now the fun begins as one could/would say     if one has a weird type sense of humour as such    . End of the story thou, in a shortened version here I was 6 out over night, with 2 this morning etc which makes good or bad 78 from 82 hens on a cloudy misty morning/day when released from a 25 odd mile toss .
