one loft syndicate

received the paperwork off mark today for the 2 entries leaving here ...they are 14 days old thereabouts at present and will get a pic of them soon and put on the forum ... ybs need to be at least 35 days old before they arrive at the one loft ,thanks for the paperwork mark

thanks for the info Darren, looking forward to seeing the one loft entries, im sure they will be very well reared .........35 + days is quite old isn't it, but I suppose they have their reasons eh

True, I agree David but I can see the logic behind having them a wee bit older than when most place them in their normal race loft etc. That extra week or so on average should have a stronger type youngster at the end of the day hopefully.

Yes!! Good policy!

maybe its so the pigeons have already been weaned,messing with a few hundred dipping heads
must be a barrel of laughs...

yes I think its so they are eating and drinking confidently on their own ,the age of arrival is between 35 and 45 days old and to arrive without vaccination

wouldn't they be more likely to loose them off the loft at that age though......? or does the amount of birds out for exercise tend to keep them from wandering while young...?

I don't think so..if they have aviarys to help settle them.
Mine are always older than that before i let them out
