  • Don't miss this one! 2022 YB racing pigeons update and a close look at one of my favorite 2022 young birds! Also shown is how to treat racing pigeon feed that is infested with insects! Finally, we try our best to splint a severely broken wing on a rescued racing pigeon from another state.

    Thanks for the tip about freezing the weevils in the feed, great idea.
    I raced old birds earlier this year for the 1st time, I had a hand full of late hatches that hadn't raced as YB, not only they didn't perform well, I ended up loosing them all during the races. So it's either because I was an inexperienced newbie or the birds were not prepared for the races even with good tossing. At the end of the day do what you think is best.
    Best of luck to your son in his football season, that's the one to focus on for sure!

    The most important thing in life is getting that aviary finished! 🙂 If I found weevils in my new bag of feed I'd be changing feeds in a NY minute.. Need to get Beyers or Vanrobaey's feed if possible.. Those are two of the best feeds in the world for racing pigeons. Don't know if you can find it where you are in the 'Old Line State' though..

    • @RFRP
      @RFRP  Год назад +1

      I would love to find a distributor of Beyers in the area! Also, I did work on the aviary a little today... Slowly but surely it's coming together. Hope to have a significant update next vid. Thanks!!

    Great video. Nice idea of freezing the food. I got late hatches last year that I flew as old birds this year and they did good. Try to basket them, spend the night in the basket and do combine tosses with members of the club and that should work like races. Good luck

  • @johnscheuring9454
    @johnscheuring9454 Год назад +2

    I’d say young birds do need some experience and definitely road training. If there are any club or group training tosses that work into your schedule, you should definitely take advantage of those. Many have great experiences with late hatches flown as yearlings. Actually young birds can be pushed too hard and burned out. Some fanciers elect to limit to a few races as yb only for experience sake.
    You’re a good man James. Go Knights!
    You also crack me up with some of your commentary.

    All I do is mix two large tablespoons of diatomaceous earth and mix it in to the feed bag.
    I use the same feed from the same vendor sometimes the seeds is so chewed up the feed is full of dust I just call them and they send me a new bags.

      Hmmm, that’s a good thought about the diatomaceous earth; May have to try that. Yeah, in the past I’ve had chewy replace the feed when it’s come infested but so often the replacement is also infested. Still a great way to get quality food! Thanks for sharing!

    Birds flown as YBs has a definite edge over birds that weren't raced. I'm not sure if it's the shipping or if it's learning to break (I hypothesize the latter) and learning to think (anthropomorphism noted) about navigation.

      Hi Nadeem!! Great to hear from you and thanks for your support!! There are multiple products for deworming including pills to give one bird at a time, ivermectin drops that you drop on their skin on their neck, or medicine that you mix in their drinking water. I like to use ivermectin drops because it treats internal and external parasites. Find one of these types of medicines online and follow the instructions. I will try to do a video showing the drops I use. Good luck! 🇮🇳

    Just a thought is there any fancier that passes your house onto the way to the club . Would you consider putting the birds in the crate and another fancier picking up the birds and putting them through marking for you . I am all for being a family man with pigeons not a pigeon man with a family the family comes first but maybe you can try to find a solution so you can watch the games and still race the pigeons .

    I'm sorry but I just have a really bad experience with flying old bird with zero experience. 9 out of 10 time you end up losing them within the first few races. Sure, there are exceptions but not much. It is possible that they do wel the first few races but as soon as they have to face bad weather or just have a hard flight those birds are the first to get lost
