The Biggest Racing Pigeon Loft I Have Seen!
Переглядів 13 тис.2 місяці тому
After a tricky worming session I take a trip to see Nigel Laycock's loft near Doncaster. Nigel is a clear racing fanatic who has dedicated much of his life to racing pigeons and his set up is really impressive. #racingpipigeons #pigeon #racinghomerpigeon #loftvisit #pigeonloft

Racing 128 Miles At 8 Months Old
Переглядів 15 тис.3 місяці тому
Half way through the Young Bird season and it's been a tough one. A great start winning our first race of the season and topping the federation, but a bad last race coupled with the losses to the peregrine falcon in the spring means we're now at half strength. I'm also looking at replacing the aging Bricon ETS clocking system with something new, like an iPigeon or Benzing. #pigeon #racingpipige...

Three races (2 from Scotland with the NRCC) and one from Berwick. The birds are getting better and so are the results.

We've been putting some extra effort into getting our race team fit for the last few weeks. Last weekend's race saw us get a top 5 position in the federation race. Today we want to go one better. It's a 153 miles from Alnwick, can we do it better this time around? #pigeonracing #homingpigeon #kabootar #racingpigeon #pigeonloft #pigeontrap #pigeon #racingpigeons2024
What Happens to Lost Racing Pigeons

Pigeon Racing is Hard!
Переглядів 22 тис.7 місяців тому
We are only a few races into the 2024 pigeon racing season. But it's difficult. We are delayed by two days and the birds are yet to get up to full fitness. It is not a disaster because I'm deliberately not rushing them to peak fitness, but I wasn't expecting this big of a gap. I also take a trip to Newmarket to visit a new fancier who is just starting his racing pigeon career. At the end of the...

    When letting youngsters out its a good idea for them to think its a release at Race Site and all need to be out and up and away Good luck but most of all enjoy. I had to give up my beloved pigeons as my Dr thought i had pigeon lung after 2 yrs of tests i was diagnosed with the dreaded Asbestosis. I miss them daily but cannot breathe around them GOOD LUCK.

    This old bird season coming up try racing cocks and hens on the celibacy system never show the cocks the hens and race the hens the same way. Just the cocks to there widowhood boxes and the hens to the v perches simple as that you need to get the feeding write but it will solve you a lot of problems. 👍

    Let my birds out 2:30 pm today, the second gang haven’t been out for 3 days. Next minute one bird flew back down next door between the oil tank and the hedge. I looked at the sky and the hawk was carrying my bird out to the fields. You start thinking, another 5 minutes later and the hawk wouldn’t have been in the area. It’s sheer bad luck.

      @ it’s a hard decision to make. 1 fancier will say it’s education for the bird , another fancier will say that the hawk will be coming back every day and that what you don’t want. The hawk is a survivor of nature and feeding him will make him stay around. But I still think pigeons locked up is not why I keep pigeons. I have the same problem with the lofts, you need at least 3 lofts in this sport. All the best .

    @youriverstraete4986 13 днів тому

    You can judge them after 1 season. The bad ones will never be very good. So don't keep them. That should almost be 50%of the youngsters you have now. And what is long distance for you? I race up to max. 700km. That is not long distance. So my selection with the youngsters is even tighter. If you want to race +900km, then yes you can give the ones you are not sure about another go as a yearling. But those shouldn't be more then a few birds. And please stop the stockloft😅

      The longest race for me on the North Road is 480 miles so widowhood 'should' be fine. I think I'd like to try it with hens at some point. I'm not certain but I think natural would take too much planning and timing to get it right?

      DAN you could race them widowhood until it gets to the final long distance races and them pair them up and let them go down on eggs and fool the pair with chipping eggs even a week before they where due 2 hatch, nothing faster than a keen hen coming back to chipping eggs or squabs pal, it's proven over long distances

    Good to see you back Dan, I agree on getting them out, less work to get them fit, and you'll breed better young birds from fitter pigeons. Good to see you've kept a good few of our birds Dan, and a black. Aleats difficult to know when to stop a winning pigeon or keep racing it. Especially for a small team flyer. No need to breed from our pigeons, we will breed you some more (if you want them).
