sometimes i do misty, but even though i like the breeding season, i`m glad when it finishes, so smashing eggs isnt such a bad thing, rather that than stuck with 53 ybs which no one wants, as they probably have their yb team by now.

I put a mark on the eggs taken out and replace the eggs of the ones sitting. No hassle that way.


Interestingly enough, my son wanted some. So I gave him 12 unbanded. Now they sit on his shoulder and eat out of his hand. So do the chickens and ducks he has! Not the shoulder for those. Would be messy! He may get interested enough to race eventually? Have some just hatched here from the whites. They seem popular. So will raise him a few.

Still have 1 here in the nest of sorts amongst the deep litter in the race loft Misty . When I tossed my wee flock here the other day for the first time I had twice the amount of birds flying around the loft when I got home in around 20/25 minutes. Only 2 were in the loft etc "Mum & Dad" the rest were more concerned with flying with all there new found friends they had picked up on the way home from the toss as such .

have 1 pair in the nest will be weaned this weekend still time to get a few races into them no bother...our best yearling only had 1 yb race ,good pigeons are born not made they just need a little helping hand ,glad breeding is over though cant stand the mess

We separated  while ago for a change lol...no late breds for us that won't get raced . We have some on natural that might not but all the darkies will

same, done and dusted late april
