David asking for a friend on Elimar who pays the commission buyer or seller or both

the buyer pays a buyers fee on top of the winning bid, plus i pay a percentage of what the birds make .....so elimar get it both ways .

Far better way of taking fanciers for a ride than actually working for a living.and good profits for aids to win and assortments of pigeon equipment and adverts etc;

Could understand it if there was no profit in it and done for the benefit of fanciers as a whole.
.

One thing that has contributed most to the sports decline is commercialism, and a few so called pigeon fanciers are up to their kneck in it.

a lot of pigeons for sale on elimar, also quite a lot of young birds .......

Are they attracting any bids David ?.

Regards,

yes they seem to be misty, quite a few groups of ybs on there with bids .....i hope they all sell before mine go on in around 3 week or so .

last young birds for 2023 have just gone on elimar last night, managed to get them on around 11.30 last night.........they will be on there until 7.30 sunday evening .

i had the last 10 to go on, but one of the ybs came out of the nest box and went into another one, sadly it got attacked and pecked by a cock, so that meant i had to put 9 up for auction....looking at the bird its not too bad, ive had worse, but you cant sell someone a bird which is damaged.........what ill do is offer it to the buyer for free if he wants it.

just checked and theres a bid on them

my last yb going out has just left reason it went early would not stay in the nestbox

Far better result than it looked like at the start David.

Can now have a rest, one of the best pigeons I ever bred was badly pecked as a young bird when going into a friends loft as a gift, Armsrtong his name, brought it to me and said should he kill it, I said no it might knock some sense into it.

It topped our four local club several times and would have won the Vaux Usher had it not returned to it's original loft instead of the present one.

Every pigeon with a chance should be given one.  

Regards.

are your birds on Elimar yet David

yes george, i put them on for a 2 day auction, they end tonight at 7.30 ....

see them now David good luck i know they will do well

whatever they make is ok by me george, will be happy to get them a new home , then i can separate the cocks and hens until next breeding season .

good luck david someone will be getting a nice kit

good luck david, half the corn bill now for you ££££££

yes colin, the corn bill will be reduced drastically once they have all gone and the old birds separated , plus i wont be needing to buy the more expensive breeding mixes .

these last group will be going to a fancier in broxbourne, hertfordshire

i get no maize corn he had none so sent squeaker mix so much dust in it have to wear a mask

what corn is it george ...?ive found bamfords to be pretty decent for the price, compared to some of the belgium expensive ones .

i found the parents like some maize in the mix but not to much,the bamfords breeding mix seems to have a good balance ,some versele laga mixes have to much maize

highflyers collecting wedesday, thank goodness for that.....another breeding season over .

elimar just phoned, collecting the last 10 ybs between 4pm and 7pm tomorrow, then old birds will be separated thursday or friday or the weekend at the latest .

good news David i just took up 5 bags of deep litter sure i only put one bag down found spirit level in it think when i done the nest boxes may use a garden riddle each week from now on

edit my previous post ;;; not elimar, it was high flyers who phoned me ........


yes george, there will be more than you put down because theres dry droppings mixed with it ........when these last ybs have gone i reckon ive 2 bags in each section to take out then its clear floors, which i`ll used floor whitener when i scrape out
