@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons Thank you for getting back to me, Frank. Can I get your contact information, would like to discuss some things with you. Thanks again 👍
Hello from Romania, very good interviews. Due to the lack of time, I used this system without knowing how the pigeons should be properly fed. After watching all of Mr. McLaughlin's videos, I think I can improve the results in the coming years! Thanks for the very valuable information! I have only one question. Can pigeons be fed also only in the evening?Thanks!
Around 37:04 you say your birds might be in the loft for 6 days after a long race. How do you feed during these six days?Do you just feed barley for the days they are just sitting after they have gotten all the seed they can eat upon return?
They eat 75 to 80% barley while they rest. This is a must. Check out this video. I explain what I do and feed for the long distance. th-cam.com/video/wYW1IAtxK_Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi Frank. So what do you do if the birds cant go out all week due to bad weather and you cant usually toss the birds Tuesdays & Thursdays and you feed %100 Barley and the birds are due to race that weekend? Do you still send them birds who haven't loft flown or gone down the road before the race that week..? How do you adjust there feed if you know that there not going to go out that week..? Also what mixture do you feed before and after the Tuesday & Thursday tosses for birds that are flying over 6 hours that weekend..? Cheers Frank👍
Hi Steven, If the pigeons cannot go out all week they get 100% barley. Depending on the distance of the race I may feed some fat seeds day of shipping. The pigeons can stay in all week and still dominate racing. I have done this many times. After my training days the pigeons eat only the barley mix. Did you see todays video?
Good evening Mr Mclaughlin I have a question so they say when training birds you train on a straight line from your loft to the race point where you need to create a Breaking point on the line of flight on the line that was drawn on the map
Hey Kevin, I do train the old birds mostly on the line of flight. Hopefully they received their experience as young birds. I do not worry too much about a breaking point. Most have to train a certain way due to the highways available. Best case the pigeons learn to break as young and are flying to the front due to perfect body weight. If you have a spot that you think the front birds must start to split you can certainly train their. Check out this video on Educating Young Birds. th-cam.com/video/ZC1vv0u2TmQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi frank if you had a pigeon that excelled at sprint racing and another which excelled at long distance and they paired together would you get a sprinter that won on hard days or long distance pigeon with more speed or would it be good at 300 miles?
A great question. I have had siblings where one was exceptional at the long distance and one was a super sprinter. I mix the long and short distance in most cases so the long distance pigeons mature faster and perform better as young birds. This cross is also good for long distance racing. I have found when I put the Van Reet pigeons into long distance pigeons the birds gain speed and still remain tough. I feel all pigeons are better if they have 25% long distance.
@ that was my thought aswell. I had to give up pigeons because I had a stroke and cannot drive anymore and I’m weak down my right side but I cannot get pigeons out of my blood I grew up with them in England with my uncle in the 1960s and 1970s until I could have my own 1980s but my uncle was stuck in ways so I raced widowhood with only 6 cocks I won the averages in club and fed around 900 to 1000 birds I was just started to staff van reets in 1985 from a man called Tony marden but agreed with point that crossed pigeons make the best birds my best best bird was a cross Dr Jeff horn bussheart x Andre rossel.keep up the videos kind regards Steve from England 🏴
Hi sir. I saw all your videos, it's is very interesting and informative. I am from India, we will breed the chicks in the month of january and we will race from december last week. Will will start training 45 days before. How to give training( I mean loft flying)from february to October? How will be the loft flying and duration?
I am not sure if you are flying young birds. Loft fly a three or fours days a week and about start training about 45 days before the first race. No need to loft fly every day off season. You want plenty of energy for the racing.
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions. Next week I will be having 1100km race. Basketing on Wednesday and liberation on Friday. Any suggestions from you sir. Thank you.
This was a lot of fun to make. Thanks Frank! We will do episode 2 in the near future!
I look forward to the next one. It was so much fun.

You will do great and feed once a day in the evening. It does not matter when you feed. Make the pigeons work around your schedule.
My idol

@@mit-loft2496 That is a long race. Give them all the fat seeds they can eat for two days before shipping the 1100 km race. Best of luck!
@@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons Thank you.
Ok Frank we need a pick champion bird from the nest video please
Something I can do with me weaning babies soon.
I know pigeon are different sizes but what is average weight you need you birds
Tough to say an average weight. Pigeons come in all shapes and sizes. For racing they must feel light and corky. Never round and full and heavy.
Do you get fat eye
Flying for 50 yrs? You only look 50 frank lol!
You are too nice. I will be 62 on March 5th. Where did the time go.
