wont be buying in any stock birds as we have 14 pair will be selling two pair of stock birds once through the moult cuting down to 12 pair

i wont be buying any this year either, got quite a few that need testing still so no point in buying more that might not be any good...........

good move david

could do with getting rid of some really but dont want to get rid of something which hasnr been tested and could be some good............

get em tested then david

easier said than done steve....... as you know things dont always run as planned.

Come on David think posisitivly mate

managed three races this season don..... might get to race 6 next year i`ll be honest and say i dont have the drive and comitment like some fanciers do and just like to send when and if want to........to some its a way of life but ive other things to do so i like to treat it as a hoby and just enjoy keeping the pigeons, maybe one day ill give it 100%........

David ofcourse you would remate pairs that produced your best birds on results. But would you cull pairs that produced youngsters that were lost? I dont think I will buy any this year, I just wonder should I concentrate more on certain pairs and get rid of ones I lost the youngster out of.

if it was me i would give them another breeding season and then decide try and get 4 or 6 from each pair then you will have a better idea as you only started this year they may yet need time to settle properly jmo

i agree with what your saying darren, to get a good idea of if they are any good i would need six off them.........but im wanting all my ybs roughly the same age and not all different agaes like in the past, i think its more trouble than its worth having two rounds..........

altho if i float some eggs there would only be approx 10 days between them wouldnt they ???

yes david i did this last year and got 4 from each and their was only 2 weeks difference in age and it was fine worked very well just floated 1st round and let them rear the 2nd

yes darren, id like to float the first round off certain birds if i could but dont want all different agaes if things go wrong, ie clear eggs etc.
