Sunday April 28th 2024,
Greetings breeders. The greater majority of the birds are here and doing well. I'm pleasntly surprised at the quality of the pigeons that have been sent in. Great job breeders. The first group of birds that arrived are obviously out of quaranteed and into the "big boy" section. I had them out and they are typical young birds being curious and flapping their wings. I did have a raven fly low over their head and they scattered but all but one is present and back in the loft. I'll give the one bird a few more days to hopefully find its way home. If not I will contact the breeder. Plenty of time for a replacement or get the the perch fee back, breeders choice. I have lost 2 of my old birds to hawks so needless to say I will have to outside in front of the loft when letting the youngsters out. The halth of the birds if GREAT, dropping are solid despite 4 days of rain. All in all I'm pleased so far. As always call if you have questions or concerns, I can't promise you anything other than giving your birds 100% care.
We beging receiving birds this week. I ask that you inform me if you vaccinated your birds prior to shipping. I vaccinate all birds upon receiving them and booster them at 10 days. I would hate to over vaccinate. Send them winners on in.

I see the number of breeders and amount of birds is starting to rise. Happy to have one and all, old and new. We are as far as I know the only OLR race with not only a low perch fee ($50.00) but will return it if your bird(s) lost prior to the activation race. Invite your friends to join the race. The more the merrier and hopefully a larger payout. As always any questions call me at 612-390-0263.
