Shows.........

what do members think to the shows starting round about the 15th november the same as last year, this should give them time to complete the moult by the time certain classes come round...............cant remember exactly what classes we had because i cant find the post so if there are any suggestions from anyone could you please post your replies,

also do members want to vote on their vavourite bird like last year or do we want someone to judge each class or maybe for them to judge the final show for the overall winner...? any thoughts anyone please ?

if some one istnt goin to put into one of the classes for some reason then if the other members dont object then let them judge that class then for the grand final do a private vote by pm to you for who should be the judge for it

thanks for the suggestion rene, well see what other have to say about this way........ thanks.

thing is, im thinking of asking someone to judge but dont know if it should be every class or just the final for the overall winner.........he might think its too much to judge all of them but he might be prepared to do the last one

any thoughts...

is it not the same as last year where we voted ,i thought that was a great way

THIN IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR MEMBERS TO VOTE BUT DONT LET ANYBODY KNOW WHO,S BIRD IS WHO,S UNTIL AFTER VOTES ARE IN

thats a better idea,

remember tho ian, the poll on this site only allows 10 choices, as we always had more than 10 birds in the show it wouldnt work so we had to post which we liked onto the topic

Keep it the same as last year so we can all vote then at the end ask someone to vote for the best over all then ask a member to judge

which ever way you want the voting to go david its up to you as your the one with all the work here and at the end of the day its only a bit of fun just to let one another see each others birds for me its looking at others pigeons at the end of the day and it gives us a wee bit of fun in the winter months so what ever you want the voting to go david is fine with me

thanks for the support and input john, think we are agreed it should be as it was last year..........

yes its a bit of fun and as long as your happy to do it david thats the main thing birds are all in a heavy moult at the minute david that butter milk really gets them started off but in another 5 weeks they all should be looking grand again then its right on to 90 percent barley

tried finding the buttermilk john but had no success at asda, mine are on 3/4 diet now so the small seeds and linseed should be ok for the moult............

WE COULDENT GET ANY THIS YEAR OUR SELFS DAVID SO WE WENT ON TO GOOGLE AND FOUND HOW TO MAKE IT AND ITS MUCH BETTER AS YOU CAN MAKE IT EACH MORNING NICE AND FRESH LEAVE IT TO LIE FOR A HOUR THEN ADD IT TO THE WATER THE BIRDS HAVE BEEN ON IT NOW FOR 5 DAYS AND THE FEATHERS ARE FALLING OFF THEM NOW ANOTHER 5 DAYS AND I WILL STOP THE BUTTERMILK

how much do you give per drinker john ?

a litre and a half of water to 8 oz of butter milk and a table spoon of white vinigar david its better than the stuff you buy fresh every day for 10 to 12 days

thanks john, and does this make them moult quickly.......well, drop to bits quickly ?

have you decided when the shows will start david,and what catagories there will be.thanks.

mick.
