Man that worked out perfectly!!!!
Instead of the usual 12 that hang around on the loft I only had 5 that didnt want to fly today.
I will do it again tomorrow if the weather is nice
here are some updated pics of the young birds you sent me Mark.

Look for the first and last birds pictured to come in for you this year. The two cousins pictured in the center are long distance birds and will come in better for you in a year or two. Although the dark checks mother did have a top 10% and a few top 20%s last year as a young bird. For this year....... I would put my money on the bird in the first pic!

As for releasing your birds from the crate. Yes, I would release them all from the same spot today and then start moving back 20 to 40 feet at a time until they are all in the air. If in a week you do not have them all up and flying give me a call and I will go over a few options with you.

My only thought is that if I split them up they will get more flying time. Their bird limits are pretty low. I know a good flier that needs birds to fly. The fancier Steve that is flying our birds will start with about 40. With a 20 bird limit them may not get in every race. The other flyer would fly them every week. Just my thinking on the matter. I will not put them anywhere that they will not have good birds to fly against other than the club birds. It is more a bird limit way of thinking than any other. They are thinking about a B race sprint series or some special races. I will try and do what is best to get them all flown.

Hi Tony,

We all know you are right! I will be heading back to Michigan this month for the summer and then back to Florida this fall (FOR GOOD). My racing loft is a 30 ft. camper trailer (IT WAS BUILT WITH THIS TRIP IN MIND). I will be filling it with all of the pigeon stuff and some of mine when I head back down. The birds that are on loan in Michigan will come with me and the others across the country will be shipped here after the loft is set up and ready for next years breeding season. You bet I miss it and I also have a plan!!!

these birds are typical of college students. All they are doing is fornicating.

We have babies. The young pair has two newbees. I also noticed some piping out also. One set of eggs I am a little concearned about wheather or when they will hatch, but I held them in the house for a few days. We will see if they hatch in a day or two. They all look good sitting on eggs and babies.
