Hi Tony great to see you starting up, I just want to alert you, when you start a new loft, and you bring in Y/Birds from 2 or 3 different sources, sometimes their health can take a dip, it won't be anything you are doing, it's just the birds coming from different lofts, and bringing with them different levels of ( for want of a better word ) Bacteria, and just needs watching. Its something that sometimes happens when you introduce different birds, and you will soon get a handle on all these small things.Tony-P- wrote: Mon Jul 27, 2026 4:28 pmYes will do Danny, there coming to me at different times during august first lot should be with me during next week, then two more kits the following week. I have been offered some stock pigeons so looking in to taking a few of them to breed from so there's no pressure on the late bred birds.Rdhd Danny wrote: Mon Jul 27, 2026 4:25 pm @tony you will mate just take everything slowly get to know the birds and keeping control of general health and grow from there look at it as a 5 year plan so results don't matter until year 5 and if you look at it like that you will do well, most importantly just enjoy having them mate
