Shall send him a message on facebook to answer this question

wing theory eyesign in my opinion the only thing that sorts them out is the basket

Eyesign has always been of interest to me from a young age but as i have always said " I know nothing"

there are lots of differing theories out there, and all lofts do things differently with many champions doing complete opposites to other champions (very difficult to judge)

was reading recently about the foot theory and this fancier was adamant that this was the only theory that was worth its salt......??

ie the bird with the first feet to hit the landing board on a race day

there are many roads that lead to rome

think the fancier was spot on there Lightning

ive often heard fanciers saying the bassket will sort them out, and mainly thats true.....but what if the fancier has not done enough in his management to give the birds a good chance of doing well? if his system is crap he can hardly say for definate that the basket has sorted them out.......???

well thats down to poor management

yes thats what i think too ian........as long as they are getting a fair chance to see how they do, then it can be said the basket has sorted out the crap.....

Everyone has there own systems which fits them and there pigeons

yes your right don, i agree.......each to their own and if it wins for you thats ok......

spot on david

would be great to hear members routine/management systems as we all have different ideas most likely,but still get the same results if we win.

ive been listening to advise from our members littlehen, and trying to take the system which would suit me best for next season......sometimes it seems like theres too much to take in but all you have to do is ask and members will be happy to help im sure......

David i think the best thing to do is listen to the advice, then try and put it into practice and then tweek things untill they suit you.

yes i agree amanda, listen and try for myself........not all advise will be siutable most likely but im sure a lot of it will be, we just have to decide which is which.....

I followed my own advice on Saturday, i had 1 cock and 10 hens to many for my loft and boxes. So i posted a ad FREE to good home. All the birds where snapped up by 5 fanciers. 7 left today 2 going on Saturday and the last 2 leave in 2 weeks.
Some have gone to newish starters and some to pigeonmen who needed more hens.
They were nearly all birds that i had brought in, and none of them had put a pigeon toe wrong. Only one was a bird that i bred.

you never offered me any

You would be welcome to nearly any of my birds, as long as you gave them back to me after you finished with them
And well lets face it your birds are top class anyway. They would grace any loft. But would look best in my loft

Seriously Ian i would help you out anytime.

Amanda

i know you would amanda mind you wouldnt mind a couple of you belg birds

That's nice to see exchanges being done and i would say that some good is going to come out of this type of exchanges

Could we be one step closer to finding the next "Breakaway champion"

If you really want them Ian, you will be more than welcome to them! After all, you helped me with some cracking gift birds last year! 5 of the 6 are still here! Love them, especially the red n white cock, we call him "mackem!"

See the spot is not that bad at all

I think its a brilliant sport Don. I only wish id got into it sooner

yes it is but you get some enemies especially if you doing the winning
