One loft auctions

I see all the one lofts auctions starting is any body fancy any thing to add to stock loft

waiting for the rpra one loft auction, hoping to have a bid there .......

I feel, believe that a decent stock loft could be born at a fraction of true cost … and worth.
Most send birds with good pedigree … some with a whim and prayer true. But in the main, the lesser priced ones would be more than adequate. Also breeding would be natural out crosses.

yes i think your right daz, possible good stock could be bought from one loft auctions, as every entry will be the best the fancier could send, yes some will still be duffers, but i reckon the bloodlines will be there to breed from.

no one pays 120 pound per bird to send cr*p i reckon.

will have a gander at the rpra sales may or may not bid see whats about

Yes some good birds to be had there

On average Ray at times, a cheap way of picking up some half decent birds I suggest.

Yes definitely as most of the birds are out of lads best as obviously want to win and get a good name for themselves

I think the one loft races are a good test of a pigeons ability both health and race wise.

They obviously have to contend with pigeons brought up in varying manners.

As I understand it the only treatment prior to going to the loft is the vaccination according to the rules.

However, if some fanciers are just specializing in one loft races and have the advice of vets etc; I cannot see how anyone can tell if the youngsters have received other medication.

Another problem being if a fancier wants to settle a bought pigeon, does the one loft (RPRA) keep the loft open to return the pigeons should they not settle straight away?.

What happens if a lost pigeon is reported some time after the race is over?

At face value, any pigeon going the hole hog deserves a perch in any ones loft.


Regards.

When do the birds go on show

12 pairs for less than £300! Nigh cert to give a good  pay back eh.

How about £120! for a dozen!
remember when one could buy decent later bred from decent widowers. Set many a good loft up did that!
