Re: Blackpool show

I used to go, and show, to many of the agricultural shows. The big shows were usually 3 day shows, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We would get there on the Tuesday at latest. We would then get the cattle settled in. The Wednesday morning and afternoon would be quite relaxed. But then the hard work ...

Re: Blackpool show

This was my video from the show: https://youtu.be/ZNSywJ4-MwE The most disappointing part for me was the stands that decided to pack down early! If you went to the show both days, or watch the video you'll understand who those are! But we put off buying bulky items on the Saturday to avoid carrying ...

I am happy to put my opinions on a random survey form.
Not quite so happy to put my personal information on a random survey form.
I think it's what they call a scam?
Appreciate your concern, anything I can do to help ease them?

Re: Feeding System Advice

We owe you an apology. We all read your post at 100 miles an hour. We were keener on offering our advice than hearing the question. May I try to correct that. You have 8 race birds. They will not tear up the skies like a team of 30 or 60 or 100. They will stay closer to home. That fact also makes m...

Re: Feeding System Advice

For the most part they are getting fed once a day in the evening, if they are being tossed over 10mile then they will get half ration on return, and half again on the evening.

They are getting around 1-1.5oz per bird

I only have a small race team, of 8 birds, split 5-3 (hens-cocks). So far returns have been ok, b...
