The slate is also known as a Schalie color. Looks like your putting a decent team of young birds together. I hope all goes well with your yearlings training, one word of advice with them, don't be in a hurry, it's better to miss the first race or two if they're not coming well in training than push them to soon and lose them.
For your first ever time at keeping and racing pigeons I think your doing a great job I gave up about 20 years ago because of work and raising our children But kids are up now haven’t flown the nest yet but I’ve been growing and showing leeks now for the last 7 years I do miss the pigeons it’s a fantastic hobby and I think everyone man women or child needs a hobby so best of luck to you and I hope your love of racing pigeons lasts you a long time 👍🏻
Great looking Loft great looking birds great-looking youngsters I live in the USA you're lucky where you live there helping you out giving you Birds where I live in the USA nobody wants to help out a new guy then they wonder why the sport isn't as big as what it used to be good luck this racing season have fun that's what it's all about keep your videos, you doing a great job have a great day
Let them out through open doorway in a small back garden loft traps and sputnicks are okay for late comers . And have them hungry also put a plywood sheet landing board five x. Five half inch thick on post in front of trapping Aviery . Good luck glenny.
Good advice, both old birds and young birds out together until they're stronger on the wing. Loose less this way off the loft. Let OB's out on their own first then when landed, let the yb's out with them 🤔 Brilliant channel this always look forward to the next one, good luck everyone for 2023 ✊
Get your figure out with more videos please! 🙈 there more than enjoyable! from established fanciers in Cumbria! We enjoy your videos immensely! If you need anything give us a shout 👍🏻
They are to big when you let them out mate ! I have started also last year with some late august birds ! Have bought 50 youngsters for this year ! Make them a trap when they go out to from the loft ! From your loft they go directly out ! Hope to meet u one day mate , you’re welcome in Belgium whenever you want ! Greets Alex 👊
Nice little team coming along lovely, I wouldn't let them have a bath out side until there strong on the wing Dan, because if they get a fright and bash off and being wet they mite drop into a neighbour's garden and end up being dog meat 😢. The trow back Dave gave you is a slate, there lovely when they moult out as will the mealy be also. How many do you have??, And nfo you plan on splitting them into two teams for each half of the young bird season ??
Thought it might be a slate. Got about 40 and although they're in separate sections I don't think I'll race them differently. I don't think I'll have the time with cocks, hens and two teams of YBs then filming it all too 🤣
@@howtotrainyourpigeon Dan I'm not trying to put the Jonah's on you, but you're old bird season mite be over half way through, with the young birds ready to start training a few weeks later, and if you did split them and as I said last year, if the first rounders start to loose form less than half way through you then have the second team to come in and take over and stop the first round and then you all ready have X amount to put away for yearlings, they can only peak and hold form for so long before they fall away, you can train the second round with the first round say 3 weeks after the first race and they will go back into there own side of the loft bar an odd 1, but that's easy spotted and sorted, and you can race them untill there head starts going bald or up to there say 6th flight towards the top, you have loads of options Dan, and with all the training you will see it's not that bad and easy to integrate a second team with the first team starting to slow down and loose form. Lads in my old club always had a second team as they had a big loft unlike me, but they had teams of 100 down wards, you're looking at 20 and 20 or maybe a few more in you're second round if you get more, can you do a video of both sections and let's see the space you have and how you have set up the perches please and thanks DES 🕊️🕊️🤔😁
Been watching your videos for a while now and got me into this sport I need to get myself a loft and some youngens and get started I need to know we’re to find a local club round by me how do I do that? Can anyone help? Thanks
@@howtotrainyourpigeon Thank you and thank god here in the area we live in we have a few months between seasons, Good luck to you as well i know you will do well

Good idea to look for good pigeons
Is it just me that thinks a loft tour and Q&A with Dave would make a great episode?

You should talk about the technology about the racing clock and which one does you better for you and how to set up
I'm enjoying your journey ! ❤

Looking forward to your Old Bird Races.
I raced pigeons for 40 years I packed in 2 years ago. I'm now building a brand new 24ft loft I need pigeons in my life
Another great video. Good luck in the next race.
Thanks
I'll be following you this season. Gotta route for someone local lol
Beautiful sight to see…. More please 👍

Let the old and young birds out together, it will give the young birds confidence
Yeah confidence to fly away 🤣
@@howtotrainyourpigeon Lmaso, I’ve done it many times in the past 👍

It’s all about quality over quantity. I’ve only got 12 cocks and 15 hens for old ones and that is plenty

The color is called slate or schalie and it means the bird has some heavy Janssen up close.
What size timber did you use for your frames on the new loft.
60x30mm
@@howtotrainyourpigeon thank you

Try the RPRA website or pigeon chat group on Facebook 👍
We are headed in our first old bird season after a 3 year break with 5 old birds
Good luck 🤞
@@howtotrainyourpigeon Thank you and thank god here in the area we live in we have a few months between seasons, Good luck to you as well i know you will do well
Free of charge
Some were FOC, some were bought 💷
How can I Buy pigeon
I don't sell them unfortunately
All I can say is let your young birds out younger so you know they won’t get up first time out
Mate I felt nervous for you when you let the young ones out
You look forward to them flying while simultaneously dreading the day 😬
That a sleat
That slatey coloured one is called a slate. I have a few myself bred one off a pair of blacks
I like the blacks too. Maybe next year 😁
My first year with them
