10% wheat, 90% cocaine, brilliant..lol..yeah feed is becoming very expensive, mix some barley in with your feed, it makes it last longer good carbs and protein in barley. Low fat.
It's expensive and they're going through it too. I've got barley in another mix I was using but thought I'd try something specific. When that bag is finished I won't need another
as long as you have pigeons from proven winning stock the rest is simply down to the fancier to train them to break from the race point & fly home for its rewards as quick as possible (motivation) don't get sucked into pills & potions. train them to win its only complicated if you make it . best of luck👍
Hello, I've been watching you! That sounds creepy, I raced birds in the late 80's as a child mostly for fun. I really enjoy your approach and the information you provide. Because of your channel I am building a loft and have contacted many top lofts in my area Utah, I have 24 birds coming in March from top breeders. Thank you for lighting the fire. Steve Heller
Master feeding = Master racing. Definitely a large part of being successful is knowing how and what and when to feed. If you're serious about distance racing, I highly recommend the books of Jim Emerton, "Pigeon Man" "Pigeon Racing" and "In conversation"
Fantastic video Dan!! Great to see the young fellas getting involved…. Loft looks brilliant you can see the light at the end of the tunnel! And you’ll feel fantastic once you finish it 😊 Also best of luck for the new birds coming! Looking forward to it Dan 💪
Ps they seem to have very good long distance birds and over the decades the wattles seem to be very large as you would see on a old bird BUT THEY CAN BE YEARLINGS it's the same with the covering around the eye's in my opinion it helps the cope with wind and cold temperatures what do you think
Great video. You're right about the feed, peas of any kind are protein. Maize carbohydrates. Safflower and sunflowers fats. You can also Dremel the legs of those grills. I've taken an inch and a half off some of mine. 👍
Hello Dan I have been watching your youtube channel for sometime now, you are making some very nice pigeon videos BTW. But there is no reason to race a big team of pigeons,. you will win or lose regardless the size of your race team TBH, only very good pigeons will win again & again. My only advice to you is DO Not buy just good pigeons.... If I would start all over again I would go to the # 1 and #2 loft in UK and look for of the distance I prefer and only buy the late bred YB from their very best pair. Because you pay for the same amount of money to feed bad one just same as good ones. Also never buy anything from just a pigeon auction unless it's a death sale of a top loft.
Thanks for watching. I'm testing the waters really. I haven't settled on a race distance yet because I've only gone up to 100 miles with ybs but I would 'eventually' like to reach Lerwick, one day.
I don't know if you can buy it in England but Versele Laga is a really good food brand. Mayby even one of the best. Best of luck with the 2023 race season!
Interesting clip🎉 Vlog the fun, adventure of racing pigeons. And the best, warm the whole family. Greeting from Bradeley Racing Loft @ Taipei, Taiwan🥰🥰
Yeah another really well put together video, great editing and soundtrack. Love the way you are encouraging the kids.....hopefully it will pay off in the long run with them becoming active partners and the future of the sport.
Another great video Dan, I wouldn't get to bogged down on mix's for breeding, I've seen them reared on old versale laga mix's pea's beans and tares, even the cheapest going at the time 20 - 30years ago. It's the heavy mix of peas you feed them after weening once there eating well and as much as they want right during the darkness so they are big and solid and to help with new flight growth also, then you're onto a racing mix and begging you're weighing of there food right trough lift flying training up to there first race, that's when you concentrate on what feed. Do the same as last season, if it's not broke why change it Dan ?, And you have to sections now so you're second string will take over after the first rounders tire and loose form, and all going well you can stop the first round and put them away for next year's old birds and enjoy you're second rounders, I'm delighted a Belgian lad is friending you young birds Dan. We are having a lier market here in Dublin in 3 weeks time, and am planning on buying you 2-3 baby's at it, from some of dublins top flyers that are selling at the auction, I am trying 2 arrange getting them back to England that day as there is English lads coming for said auction I have even asked Naomi from dream team lofts who is 30 odd mins up the motor way from you if she would take them back, so I will let you no how I get on Dan
Thanks for the offer Des. Unfortunately I don't have room this year as I'm having to turn birds down now but that could be something fun to try next year? Annoyingly the two pairs I really wanted young from only had one fertilised egg each on the first round. They've just laid for the second round but I wasn't planning on letting them sit a second round as racing season starts in April and these are my only birds to race with. I do have the fantail and her cock bird who I might float 2 eggs under, but that'd mean leaving a hen in with the boys when I part them next week...
@@howtotrainyourpigeon definitely alllways next year Dan. Just an idea about you wanting to fly birds to the furthest race point, most lads that fly long distance only train young birds and never race them, and then as yearlings race them 2-3 times, and then put them away to race them as 2 year olds. This is all well and good but you need room realistically, witch at the moment you don't have alot of. Maybe next year u will have a bigger old bird loft and young bird loft also, we shall see. As for floating under the fantail and and his hen, you could build them a small stand alone unit in you're garage or in the young bird loft just for a few weeks untill the eggs hatch and the young are reared, or leave the hen in with the cocks untill she stops feeding the baby's at 10-12 days old and that's when the cock takes over feeding and you can remove the hen, I've seen alot of lads do that with all the widowhood cocks, just and idea for us you to muddle over. Cheers des
Dan do you intend to go Belgium 🇧🇪 markets and get the transportation set up to get a completely different Bloodlines think it's about £130 +vat for six
Feeding is not that important. Just make sure there is 90% cocaine in it and everything should train, basket and race themselves.
Wa
10% wheat, 90% cocaine, brilliant..lol..yeah feed is becoming very expensive, mix some barley in with your feed, it makes it last longer good carbs and protein in barley. Low fat.

If your after some box perches I’ve got some forsale only in next town to you if you want to drop me a message ! Great video by way

Excellent good luck! 👍
Find a flyscreen door as a second door,. for warmer days, must be one somewhere in the street./lol
Yes pigeons love their baths, mine do, I use plastic potplant bottom trays big round one's 600mm, let them out and stand back, my flyers
10% wheat 90% coke had me laughing more than I should 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, welcome to racing pigeons…. They’ll steal your heart…. I hope you get the same enjoyment I did has a kid… my love of pigeons has never left me…❤
Nice work!!
Master feeding = Master racing.
Definitely a large part of being successful is knowing how and what and when to feed.
If you're serious about distance racing, I highly recommend the books of Jim Emerton, "Pigeon Man" "Pigeon Racing" and "In conversation"
Definitely need to buy some reading material
@@howtotrainyourpigeon You can't go wrong with Emerton's books
So awesome man!!!
Fantastic video Dan!! Great to see the young fellas getting involved….

Awesome man very good like the loft .
Taylor's arms liverpool had a great breed buyer race here in liverpool not happen no more was top race tha
Great video. You're right about the feed, peas of any kind are protein. Maize carbohydrates. Safflower and sunflowers fats.
You can also Dremel the legs of those grills. I've taken an inch and a half off some of mine. 👍
Great stream maté wishing you all the best for the forthcoming season I’ll be checking in to see how your getting on I’ve subscribed to your channel 👍
Another fantastic video, good work mate
how was your belgian trip

A wire door behind your main door is good stop birds flying out when your going in
I don't know if you can buy it in England but Versele Laga is a really good food brand. Mayby even one of the best.
Best of luck with the 2023 race season!
It's available but the children would go hungry to afford it 😁
Great video Dan. Keep them coming .young birds looking really good
Hi can you please tell how to cure pox in racing pigeon

Lewrick is the longest with NRCC,but for yearlings can be tough.Good luck.
Yeah I don't expect to be sending to Lerwick for a year or two yet 👍

Well done Dan..loft coming on well 👌🍻
