yes misty, still to worm them yet, its a one day course in the water, so hoping its not freezing tomorrow, if it can get them done i`ll wait a week or so before i put them together .......hoping to get eggs / ybs around the same age , never liked having them all different ages .

 i cant believe that ray ..........never

your first round will be over 100 ybs

Got 100  because fed secretary ordered 50 more than I asked for ..only wanted 80 lol...got 10 fut rings , 10 z rings and 10 gold ring things all them at 10 pound each ...130

The most I ever had was 80ish going around makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up brilliant a big team ripping the sky up

If I keep it down to about 80 I would be happy but got a lot coming in as well..probably about 30 or more . 10 from a stud , 8 from a lad wanting me to test some , 4 from a friend and about 8 from charity auctions..so a canny few

80 ish I know a celebrity type flyer down here etc Mark one of those talk the talk types 6 to 800 rings is his cuppa tea at breeding time apparently, at times

anything over 20 - 25 out exercising is too many for me .......

I lost 25 in one race , that would be my season over if I bred 25

personal choice the amount ...personally i never bred more than 30 and usually about 24 and that was too many ...always have 12-16 left at the end about 50% and would send to every yb race ,partnerships ease the burden so i can understand them having bigger teams to try and have more birds capable of winning the races nobody should criticise that

If on my own Darren I would definitely have the same as you for certain..30ybs and maybe 10 pair of racers ...I couldn't cope with more and thats being honest..I take my hat off to men on their own

allotment flyers deserve most respect imo ray ,especially in bad weather ,hats off to them

use a hoe or broom handle scraper ....failing that send in compo on some go faster

Your kidding,  he cleans out but not quickly and nowhere near as good as us   but he tries bless him

i bought one of those long handled scrapers last time i went to the corn shop, think it was around 13 quid, but well worth it, nice long metal handle, with a wide scraper on the end.......easier than on my hands and knees .

Got plenty of them but we don't do floors just boxes

what do you have on the floors ray ...?

how kind you are Ray by chance do you ever allow the poor man a tea break & maybe a biscuit, while you bark orders there while sitting in front of your cabin fire .

my rings are ready to pick up all 40 got 4 amalgamation cards to that i never knew i was getting and a few quid ,enough for a couple of bags of groats
