The first of the 2021 youngsters are ready to wean from their parents. In this video we show you how we try to give them the possible start to their lives.
Great stuff mate. Always nice to see what you guys are up to. I would also like to say,respect for doing this with your dad. I really hope that 1 day my son will also enjoy pigeons with me. Best of luck for the upcomming season from South Africa.
Thank you. The pigeons are an important part of our relationship and there's no doubt that we wouldn't get the results that we do if we weren't a team. Good luck to you too!
@@carwynharrisracingpigeons9387 I'm from Philippines, ,I expected you sir,for start take care of the pigeon,,and I am determined to take care of the pigeon,thank you sir
Hi, I see that in the young birds section, there is wood divider to modify the depth of every space. Which is the purpose for it? I am a beginner. Thanks.
Hi Alex. We like to keep our birds in small sections to keep them under control and tame where possible hence why we have the dividing doors that can be closed if needed. It also helps when basketing the birds for training or racing.
It's a difficult balance Ian. Being a schoolteacher I've been working from home this year but am back in the classroom from tomorrow. As much as I've enjoyed being home, the sooner we can all resume our normal live the better. Atb Ian
Thanks Helen. No we don't use lime but we do occasionally use Harkers floor powder which acts as a disinfectant too killing bacteria and disease. It's an excellent product.
Hyperdrug however there's a product made by Schroeder Tollisan called U200 that's very good. We may try that next time and compare how good it is to Easimec.
@@carwynharrisracingpigeons9387 thank you I been using easy bed but it’s not very good for some reason I find i get bits that go up the birds nose great content thank you will give this a try (always learning) 😊
@@benitojeffries2923 we start on April 24th. We normally get the birds out on the first fine day in March in preparation for the season. Like yourselves, there are lots of hawks and falcons in the area so we wait until the Spring before letting them out again. What about you, do you race during your Winter?
That is difficult Benito. Thankfully our summers are generally on the cool side so it's good pigeon weather. It tends to get hotter when they race from France and Belgium but nothing like SA. Which part of SA are you from?
Very nice video brother

The #1 of fanciers.
Great video guys
where did you buy the YB boxes? Are they from Kipshagen?
Yes I believe they are. We purchased them from a company called Petron Lofts in the UK but I believe they imported them from Kipshagen.

@@carwynharrisracingpigeons9387 hey! Thanks for your response.
Best wishes.
Video hay lắm bạn ơi 😀
What you use for floor dressing mate?
We use Versele Laga wood chips and Harkers Loft Treatment every so often.
New fanz here sir, watching from ksa to philz.
Nice loft...
Hi Jobert, thank you. Atb for 2021!
Great video can I ask who made your boxes thanks
Hi James. We bought them from Petron Lofts a few years ago. We're about to replace them with Hermes boxes in the next few weeks.
@@carwynharrisracingpigeons9387 thanks for that ! The boxes from hermes are great boxes will look good in your loft
Another cracking video! Ybs look spot on! I just wish I could spend more time with mine but unfortunately work is taking over atm😩

Nice set up. Do you use lime to keep the lift clean ?
Thanks Helen. No we don't use lime but we do occasionally use Harkers floor powder which acts as a disinfectant too killing bacteria and disease. It's an excellent product.
Last question were do you get the easimec from
Hyperdrug however there's a product made by Schroeder Tollisan called U200 that's very good. We may try that next time and compare how good it is to Easimec.
Thank you 😊
Hi any chance for few late breed yb ?
Hi Mariusz. We may have some summer bred birds available. I'll post details in a future video 👍.
I will be interested by the way I live in Ireland
What deep litter do you use mate
They're Versele Laga wood chips.
@@carwynharrisracingpigeons9387 thank you I been using easy bed but it’s not very good for some reason I find i get bits that go up the birds nose great content thank you will give this a try (always learning) 😊
These are always excellent. They try picking them but they're too big so they do the job fine. Saves work and the birds like it.
Looks like they all will graduate with (flying ) colors
I hope so Benito 🤣!
MR H I'm from SA when do you guys start racing ?

We start in winter very hard races strong winds and sometime snow then we need before summer gets to hot
