2023 Season has started

think not 100% sure paid £250 for him as a yb

12 more pairs have laid when i went in this morning .........just on time , i estimated around mid week

good to see David my nestboxs are now all occupied

ive got a pair on the floor george, i did want to build four new nest boxes before i paired up but just didnt get round to it .......

if this pairs ybs fail as racers they may look nice nest is on the floor

Both in good nick George.

Still not sure about the show bit.

Bet the young are good lookers.


Be an interesting saga to look forward to George.

Regards.

Maybe a bit of fun guessing what colour the young will be

Know they will probably be blues, blue being dominant but what effect the soapy beak and very light colour of one.

i think w/f and pied's soapy beak don't bother me in racing

Me neither George.

Seen every coloured pigeons win races and with defects etc;

Colour was the only thing to have a go at predicting.

For fun.

Regards.

i think he is too pale for me to get blues

Those are 2 nice looking birds like to see the young off them, good luck with all them dave that have gone down are you racing at all now

not sure if it really matters but i do like to see strong colour in  a bird with blues i like nice dark bars

Just look at front page of this weeks BHW George.

2022 best racing pigeon, not unlike yours George.

Soapy beak and a show bird look.

Looks can deceive make the outcome of your pairing more interesting, roll on hatching

no mark not racing, just breeding to sell on elimar .......

at the moment i only have an 8 x 14 loft with two sections, so i have no room for a young bird team, and with the price of wood at the moment it will be a while until i extend .........if i ever do that is .

your correct misty didn't take much notice of it

34 eggs laid so far , still more to come ........

well done i have 8

thats still good george, remember i have quite a few birds, you have a small team......in a way i wish i just had a small team .

could not manage any more

i think ideally i`d be better with half of what ive got ....... got far too many really

do you wear a mask i don't not in loft that long

no i dont george, not for normal feeding etc.......but i do try wear one when cleaning out .

thought i posted but can't see it  i have first yb to-day
