- The racing loft is too full to have a full team of young birds next year. So it's time to choose who stays?

In the 1980s my dad had one of the Queens pigeons in his loft and we had central news round interviewing my dad.
Been missing your videos. Glad to see you again. Don’t be so long between. Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Love the video here from central Ohio. Just heard you on the podcast All about Pigeons 👍
It’s not the fastest bird that wins, it’s that one who can find his home fast !!!💯
Cool.
Hi just watched ur video.. my grandfather had pigeons for 40 odd years.. he took let them out everyday permitting weather an took the up to road 15 miles away twice a week.. won local club few times over the years.. but in last ten years of race he trained his birds for one big race can't remember the name but only happened once a year.. just a we tip for what remember he used sand dry sand in the lofted an all use used a siv to reuse the sand 3 to 4 times then fresh stuff when need new clean out witch he did once aweek.. 👍
Good to see you back Dan looking forward to seeing more when you’re back racing Merry Christmas to you and the family
Hello . Nice to see and hear from them again! All pigeon breeders in the world always have the same problem: what should or can be done with the pigeons. Plan and think!😌😅😏🇵🇱🇩🇪 Greetings from Poland
I love the videos end don't stop racing pigeon end I love to see 700km racing videos ❤❤❤❤
Good to see you back Dan, I agree on getting them out, less work to get them fit, and you'll breed better young birds from fitter pigeons.
Good to see you've kept a good few of our birds Dan, and a black.
Aleats difficult to know when to stop a winning pigeon or keep racing it.
Especially for a small team flyer.
No need to breed from our pigeons, we will breed you some more (if you want them).
It was only when I counted them that I realised half of the cocks were yours. Good returns after the year we had. Looking forward to seeing what they can do in 2025! Are you back in Cambridge any time soon?
I kept saying John Callaghans not Noel's. I'll just call them Callaghan's in the future 👍
@@howtotrainyourpigeon hoping to be back next June Dan
@@howtotrainyourpigeon I'm sure Dad will forgive you mate 😂
❤Love your video’s! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Great to hear from you again
Hello lov your videos ❤from Norway
Pleased to hear it!
Great your back Dan, how about racing the spare hens to the pearce.that guy in America has great results with hens
I'd like to but it would need more time and space than I currently have. In the first two years I lost track of how many times the cock would come back and his hen was still out, either late or never to return. I think I'd try hens celibate when I can...
RACING PIGEONS, NICE 👍🥰
Great content, keep it up!
I’ve always been told to send your best pigeons because they are the ones that are going to win so only keep them for stock once they have finished racing at around 4 years old
my view is they need to be out daily after the molt for gentle exercise. looks like you have room for a decent size L shaped loft now that your proper hooked on the hobby 👍atb
@@thegeordiefellwalker8878 I'd probably let them out more but it's dark when I leave for work, dark when I get back 😞
Mine are in from last weekend of september till the last weekend of March
Im with you on letting them out now and then in the winter like some one said why dont u breed a few in the garage that would help you till u move
Great idea, a few pens made from mostly chicken or box wire, and a board at the bottom to pull out like a drawer 2 scrape out easly
I feel like a lot of fanciers give pigeons not enough of a chance but if a yearling doesn’t preform than it’s over in my opinion. Also whatch out with a stock loft u will keep a lot of multipliers instead of breeders if u catch my drift. If breeders don’t breed better than you’re flyers they’re just taking up space
Nice to see little one's in trested into pigeon m8 hope thay keep it up as thay getting older
Section a bit of your garage mate for stock
Will you widow the long distance birds or will race them on natural?
Im still looking at getting intobthe hobby once i get my own place.
The longest race for me on the North Road is 480 miles so widowhood 'should' be fine. I think I'd like to try it with hens at some point. I'm not certain but I think natural would take too much planning and timing to get it right?
DAN you could race them widowhood until it gets to the final long distance races and them pair them up and let them go down on eggs and fool the pair with chipping eggs even a week before they where due 2 hatch, nothing faster than a keen hen coming back to chipping eggs or squabs pal, it's proven over long distances
@@howtotrainyourpigeon I'm planning racing natural so I can run an open loft system, I'm working at different times each week so couldn't keep any consistency with exercising widowhood pigeons
Don’t have stock pigeons that’s the last thing you want race them the best will stay, you’ve got a job and a family like me so you’ve got to think that’s another job plus your pulling your best birds out of the race team just my opinion that’s how it works for me
This old bird season coming up try racing cocks and hens on the celibacy system never show the cocks the hens and race the hens the same way. Just the cocks to there widowhood boxes and the hens to the v perches simple as that you need to get the feeding write but it will solve you a lot of problems. 👍
Let my birds out 2:30 pm today, the second gang haven’t been out for 3 days. Next minute one bird flew back down next door between the oil tank and the hedge. I looked at the sky and the hawk was carrying my bird out to the fields. You start thinking, another 5 minutes later and the hawk wouldn’t have been in the area. It’s sheer bad luck.
That's unfortunate. Touch wood I haven't seen one around in months but during the spring the hawks are constantly in the sky here.
@ it’s a hard decision to make. 1 fancier will say it’s education for the bird , another fancier will say that the hawk will be coming back every day and that what you don’t want. The hawk is a survivor of nature and feeding him will make him stay around. But I still think pigeons locked up is not why I keep pigeons. I have the same problem with the lofts, you need at least 3 lofts in this sport. All the best .
❤❤
Just enjoy them pal dont slip in the over stocking your self cos you can soon be mowed down
Hi mate quick question, if you get really early bred pigeons like say January, will you still Need to put them on the dark system.?
@@keithalexanderrobbson2434 I think it depends where in the world you are. If in the UK then lots are January/February young birds and usually go on darkness
@howtotrainyourpigeon I know what your saying ,I'm in the UK but with you getting January, February and March before the light nights kick in apparently so iv been told there like naturals but don't drop to pieces because they go trough a natural darkness before the season starts .
❤
Please give me one make pegion
Alright one disaster at time. To deal with hawks feed crows.. every day.
Can you not Join the Two Lofts you Have into a L Shape Type, I prefer all Birds under one Roof and One Trap with a Passage the length of the Loft, and your Birds Trap into the Passage, With a Breeding Section, Young Birds, Cocks and Hens Sections, just a suggestion. EXLNT Presentation Well Done
Yeah I'd like too but there's too much of a gradient and weird angle. I may rebuild the lot
First thing I would do is buy proper perches and remove those branches, why do you need a stock loft ? You have only been flying for 2/3 years?? Do you have birds breeding winners ?
Yes got 2 pairs
Build another loft L shape
Reckon so
Cocks in 1 loft hens in loft 2 fly celibate and don’t breed this year
You can judge them after 1 season. The bad ones will never be very good. So don't keep them.
That should almost be 50%of the youngsters you have now.
And what is long distance for you?
I race up to max. 700km. That is not long distance. So my selection with the youngsters is even tighter.
If you want to race +900km, then yes you can give the ones you are not sure about another go as a yearling. But those shouldn't be more then a few birds.
And please stop the stockloft😅
