Good morning Breeders.
This week we took a couple of early mornings to pull the 10th flights. 9ths were pulled about 4 weeks ago and are 1/2 to 3/4 back in. We are trying to keep the program rolling and have the birds ready while at the same time allowing them to avoid as much of this ridiculous heat as possible. The temps arent that unusual(95-100). The humidity is a different animal this year. 55%-75% every single day with little to no wind.
Birds are out flying this morning so watch and enjoy via our watch live link.
Good evening breeders.
The heat here in the south has been rough. Today was 96 with 56% humidity and no wind which makes for a real feel of 107. Tomorrow looks much better with a high of 90 and an 8-12 mph wind. There is a slight chance of rain so we will see how it looks in the morning. The future forecast looks good for the next few days also. If it all looks good in the morning we will have the birds out loft flying early. We will not be running the clock due to the fact that the birds have been on a round of preventative meds and we will not be forcing any birds out. It will be an open loft morning for birds to come and go as the please. We welcome everyone to watch live via our home page.
Good afternoon breeders.
We have received a few messages from people inquiring about loft flying. So we want to give a quick update. Late last week we noticed some of the birds were off when we had them out flying. As a precaution we brought all the birds in and are running the entire loft on a 7-10 day treatment.
All 9ths have been pulled and in a few weeks we will be doing another hands on inventory and pull 10ths.
The heat and humidity has been brutal this week so it actually worked out well to treat the birds and allow them all to rest. High 90's with 50-60% humidity is not pigeon friendly. The loft was built so that it gets full sun early in the morning and plenty of shade in the afternoon thankfully.
Another question we have been receiving is about loft flying being posted on Wincompanion. We do not always run the clock for loft flying. The cameras are live 24/7 and everyone can see when the birds are out, usually early in the morning. Once the birds are on the road the clock will run for every toss. To view the cameras simply go to our site. https://aicolr.com/ or to our link on wincompanion.com. On the left side column of our home page you will see "Watch Live".
We want to thank everyone again for all the support this year and we look forward to getting on the road.

There were 57 Grizzles on the hand scan and chip check last Saturday. This is an optional, $100 over activation, WINNER TAKE ALL race with no percentage held. If you have Grizzles, get them in while you can.
We look forward to really getting these birds up and working hard soon.

Thanks again for all the support in 2024.
Our hand inventory and chip check are complete. The last bird was scanned at 12:49. We are having an issue with the upload to Wincompanion. Terry is currently working to help us get it fixed. After the problem is rectified we will mark any missing birds as missing. We scanned 1039 birds then we had to add or replace chips on 8. This puts our grand total at 1047 birds in the loft out of 1098 registered. We are very pleased with this number after our weekly loft flys.
Replacements and new birds must be in the loft by 6/1/2024 no exceptions.
We apologize for the upload delay. Stay tuned.
Good evening breeders!
Birds were out for a loft fly today and did great. They were not forced out but as everyone can see by the numbers on trainer almost all went out and enjoyed a beautiful day here in South Carolina.
We will do a full hands on inventory on Saturday possibly into Sunday. 5/18/2024
After this inventory you will have until 6/1/2024 to get replacements and/or any other birds you would like to enter into our race.
If you have grizzles get them in!
This is a Winner Take All optional race for $100 over activation. We will update the number of Grizzles in the loft after the inventory this Saturday.
Thanks so much for all the support this year and we look forward to getting these birds on the road.
