I really enjoy listening to your lives.I just raced my second young bird race after being out of birds for a couple decades. Starting out slow but man i can't understand how i stayed away for so long.I feel your system of care and feeding is working well for me so far.
Hi Bruce, It is great to have you back. It is nice to win but the excitement of the pigeons returning from a race or even loft flying is also very special. You will do great and try not to make things too complicated. Have the birds work around your schedule.
I feel more confident after listening to you Frank. Thank you! Keep it up…
Excellent! Much of this game is common sense and feeling confident in what you do. Good pigeons, good loft, healthy, trained adequately with excellent body weight and you stay continually near the top.
Staff van reet had brilliant birds
The Van Reet birds have been super for me for many years
Another great video Frank looking forward to receiving your birds for my breeding program
You will love them and I am pleased you enjoyed the video.
Thanks Frank
I am having fun
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons Im setting up a loft to join you. 😎
Mistaken the timezone and missed the live. I'll have to get on the next one
You can watch it anytime. Hope you enjoy!
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons I had a bunch of questions for your Q&A
Glad to find you ive always subscribed to the k.i.s.s. method myself I've been using red cell for decades and also the old school vitamin vionate like i always these things are still around for a reason
Good products are around for a long time
Missed the live do to work..:. But always great to watch your videos.
No worries. Nice that you can watch anytime. I appreciate this.
Enjoy watching... Great videos 💖🥰☝️-from Phillipines 🥰💖
Happy you are enjoying. I want to plan a visit and an auction in the Philippines one day.
Thanks Frank, was waiting for your live show, always learn something
Its just to build up my pigeons immunity nownfor next years races
Wonderful that you are working on building their immunity. I will be beneficial for the pigeons and give you an advantage over time.
Bummed I missed the live! Great vid as always. Had great success using that LA-200 last week, had two birds with one-eyed colds and they both looked great again after two or three days. I have a hen that didn't produce any eggs since I got her and will not mate up, I know she was a good racer. I'm going to try the salmonella vaccine method you've described to see if I can get her feeling better.
Hope the hen lays for you. Give it a try and use the vaccine and the Baytril. Let me know what happens. LA 200 works great.
Like always great video, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. You are too nice. Thank you!
Frank you should have your brother on the show
That is a great idea. I will see if he wants to do it. I may try to use my cell phone as a camera on a stand and take questions off the computer.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons awesome!!!!!
Dan said he will do the Live Stream with me next time. It will be fun.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons hell yeah
Hello Frank what are your thoughts on Dordin, Decroix, James Bond 007 and pigeons from the Ponderosa studs. Thanks plenty and all the best. You are a modern day mentor for us starting in the sport.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am happy if I can help and be a bit of a mentor. Dordin and Decroix are old families and I guess the James Bond Pigeon my be the one from Smeulders that Eijerkamp owned. I visited Decroix many years ago and also handled James Bond. Dordin was before my time. I am sure they are still some good ones in those families. Buy close are around performance pigeons not just bloodlines. I have not looked at Ponderosa in many years.
👍
In answering questions about timing of training before the race season, please state the dates because we don't know when you made the video. So, when you say "now" or " next week," I don't know when that was in relation to the races.
Hello Steven, During the Live Stream I may have been racing or getting birds ready. What did I say and maybe I can clarify for you? I will do another Live Stream soon.
My dad was long distance flyer he use to graft flight feathers in when a race bird broke one he was so good you couldn't tell, he had a sack full of flight feathers he kept and he won 500 and 600 mile races all the time, half the time I was the one who held the bird while he grafted the flight feathers and was the one who ended up clocking those same birds while he was at work he finished his last season in 2014 winning the 600 miler 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and had the only day bird I believe he even beat the Salt Lake City guys as well 30 to 40 miles north of him
That is terrific. You should do a video on how your Dad did this.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons I will try, he actually won the 400 the 500 and the 600 he won the 600 with a yearling hen that might have been a late hatch His loft name was "Perch Potatoes" he said maybe that is why his birds did so well is that they got a lot of rest🤣 like you say 2 hours on the wing one day of rest
Good afternoon a question on feeding my young bird team. When feeding 80% barley 20% grain do I slowly work my way up to that mix or can I just go to a 80/20 mix?
I’m feeding 22.6 oz of feed to 72 birds that’s 2 coffee cans at 11.3 oz can once a day.
Most days they eat it all and some days they leave very little barley
Thanks for your time and help Mr. Frank
Just go right to the 80% 20%. If you feed once a day until they leave a little barley that is perfect for the young birds.
Thanks for always asking I’ll start them on 80% 20 %
Hi Frank. My young birds raced the whole season in northeast direction. Next year, I will be joining a different club, racing in the northwest direction. Is it ok to have my this year young birds (raced in northeast direction) to race as old birds next year in the northwest direction? Thanks for all the great advice.
You will do just great. You must go slow and start a little earlier in the new direction. If you trained all directions last year you can train as normal. This does not effect them.
Hey Frank how long ago was that PMV incident with your birds? Thanks for your videos
It has been many years since I have seen PMV. I want the sport to know that PMV spreads like crazy and if they do not vaccinate they risk losing all their pigeons.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons thanks Frank!
sorry i couldn’t make it to the live feed
You can watch anytime. Hope you enjoy! Look forward to you racing soon.
Hello frank
My loft location is about 8 kilometers latitude. Does this affect the outcome of the race?
Please advise
Hi Frank, if one has 30 birds prepared and only send 20 to the race after they have had high-energy food on the Thursday of basketing for the Saturday race do you just go back to 80% mix on Friday or can one skip feeding on Friday altogether?
Great question. You can feed the 80% barley mix on Friday to the pigeons that did not race and no need to feed a lot. You can also feed the birds that did not race on Saturday the 80% barley so they are not able to eat too much of the rich feed. You can also move the birds from the loft that did not race or take them on training on race day. No need to have the birds that did not race pig out on the rich feed.
After a bird competes in OLR, what are they used for? They can no longer loft race right? Only breed if they are qualified?
They are really only good for breeding. Some try to break and train the bird which is possible to race from a new location. Best to breed the bird if it was showing some promise in the season. To finish the series can show the bird has something.
🎉❤🎉❤
Hi Joseph, Happy you liked it. I had fun.
Hi Frank ,If you buy a child of a top OLR racer would you suggest to breed and test before you breed for stock ?
I never stock anything until the pigeon proves itself. If you pay a lot for a pigeon you can certainly try to breed from the young but for me the bird has to be good before I will breed from the youngsters.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons I understand ,thank you
How are you doing Frank this is Anthony again and get back to you OK I’m getting ready to win my Birds can you give me a list of what I do with the shot the medicine and the Viacom that you want me to put in the water I just wanna make sure I’m understanding you the right way thanks right
Check out this video to see what I do on race day. th-cam.com/video/9NvtaN-JUGI/w-d-xo.html
The next video shows what I do during the week. Here is my weekly program but I use Nubiotic now instead of Avian Solution. th-cam.com/video/aLjysaQflgM/w-d-xo.html

Vaccination schedule. Vaccination schedule starting at weaning:
24 days old vaccinate for PMV Rota Virus Combo and Pox
53 days old Vaccinate for PMV/Salmonella/Brochal Combo
Breeders:
30 days prior prior to breeding vaccinate for PMV/Salmonella/Brochal combo
Old Bird Race Team:
30 days before the beginning of training Vaccinate for PMV/Salmonella/Brochal
Where can I find the dpure feed?
I buy from Global Pigeon Supply and have all my feed delivered. If you can find a Depurative Mix from other grain companies it should work very well also. You want a mix with a lot of barley.
What can you use safflower for
I use Safflower for the fats before a long race or for recovery when they return home from the races.
55:37
Latitude does affect the results of the race
Can you explain? I need more info on what you are asking.
Thanks Frank
