i think they walk them down the corridor george, and through a small door into the baskets .......imagine basketing 1,500 by hand

Like cattle going to market etc       is how I see the scenario here David, sadly. Refined to the highest order I'm told by the rumour file down here, by some bloke apparently in South Shields    .

you would still need to handle each one see if it is ok or is it just pot luck

Impossible to assess the health of individuals involving 1500.

Only apparent if showing clear outward signs.

That is why they flock treat, many illnesses have no outward signs.

So healthy pigeons will be receiving possible detrimental treatment.

No one can basket 1500 pigeons in a fitting manner, appropriate to the welfare of the pigeons.

I always watched my pigeons being race marked and if I was unhappy with the way anyone handled my pigeons BINGO.

First thought, good idea being able to replace lost pigeons.

But at what stage do you stop ?.

Is it fair to other entrants ?.

Regards.

Have you heard anything about the other loft on the RPRA site George and exactly how many are in the RPRA loft ?.

Also how is your one going.

Regards.

not much news on any of them i think the one i'm in you can replace any you have missing free when the count takes place is a good idea

loft scan to-morrow misty in olr i'm in

seems to have gone off the boil this year,hopefully you will start to get plenty up-dates once off the dark eh

just been reading the pottiers olr had lost 600 birds before the first race now only 300 from 1400 birds

only one word needed george "DISEASE"

chap i know is 2 down from 5 and this is the first count in olr i'm in just loft flying

Not far wrong there etc O/S I suggest. Love to know the names thou of some of the Vet expert types advising these races with their general expertise factor for a successful outcome. Make interesting type reading I suggest .

i would think there is a medication routine george put up a post of a one loft with a concrete floor which is no problem in itself but one would like to see a deep litter on top of it but i have the suspicion the floor will be hosed down with disinfectant on a regular basis creating a sterile environment exposure to pathogens at low level is a good thing and creates sound immunity but some lofts have been ruined by medication and sterile enviroment

misty one of the best articles i have read is in this weeks bhw page 31 by the northern exile

Agree with most of what he says George, just common sense.

I banned swearing in our club and said anyone doing so would be fined, hate it myself, plenty of means of expressing opinions without it.

Wonder if he has had a peep or two into our site.

Trouble is it is far too late to save the sport, should have thought about it 60-70 years ago when the numbers were significant.

Now less than 10,000 according to the subs.

See no questions this week.

The print is easier to read than the other format, but I find 90% content of no interest at all.

Regards.

I know George, one club with one member sending, must be going to another club for marking, must be heart breaking.

Thought they would all give progress reports George, very strange.

Lets hope no news is good news.

i'm thinking misty the offer of free replacement if your yb was lost at the first ring list i think from a business' point was a bad decision lets see there was to be a new list last Wednesday but nothing yet
