May 20th was the last day of recieving birds, however, I still have plenty of room in the loft. So I have decided to do a late bird special. If you have already sent birds, you may send 1 or 2 more for free. No perch fee. If you haven't sent birds yet and would like to do so, it will be a $100 perch fee per bird, $50 due with the bird and the other $50 due only if the bird returns from Race 1. I will accept birds now until June 17TH. So get the word out, let's get more birds here so we can have a bigger purse for you to win.
Thank You to everyone that has sent birds so far. I really appreciate the support. The Birds are looking great. I will pull flights soon. They have still had hawks pestering them regularly, however that should be coming to an end. I usually don't see many after the 1st of June.
The birds get out to loft fly everyday the weather allows. Most of them are really starting to group up and loft fly really well. Please check the inventories for missing birds. If you have a missing bird you may send 1 or 2 to replace it.

Birds are doing great! I am loft flying them everyday the weather allows. A little over half of them are really starting to group up and loft fly really well. Hawks have been a presence as always and have spooked the birds multiple times. Please check the inventories for missing birds. If you have a missing bird you may send 1 or 2 to replace it.
I am taking birds until May 20th. So there's still plenty of time to send birds.

Birds are doing great! I am loft flying them everyday the weather allows. I will start doing online inventories this week. There has been a few birds go missing and I have notified the owners.
I am taking birds until May 20th. So there's still plenty of time to send birds. Make sure and send birds on Mondays or Tuesdays. I am vaccinating the birds with PMV and Salmonella, spraying for feather mites, and chipping them when they arrive.

Birds are still coming in and they are looking great! The weather is finally warming up and starting to act like we might get spring. I can't remember the last time we had this much snow at this time of the year. I just finished a pen to help with the break in process. I posted pictures on facebook for those intersted in seeing it.

The birds are coming in. The postal service has been a struggle already this year. I have had a few boxes of birds take 4 to 5 days to get here. So make sure and send birds on Mondays or Tuesdays. I am vaccinating the birds with PMV and Salmonella, spraying for feather mites, and chipping them when they arrive.
I hope everyone's breeding season is going well and you have lots of champions ready to be sent out. I have made a few changes for the upcoming year for the Plymouth Peak race series. The birds will fly 6 races instead of 7 and the activation race is longer and will also count as the first official race. I will also be paying less average speed positions and moving more money to the last race. I am keeping the perch and entry fees the same as always. I also plan to train 3 times a week as we have always done.

And so it begins! We recieved our first shipment of birds last week. 2023 season is officially underway. My wife and I had a great time in Vegas last weekend attending the Pigeon Gala. We met a lot of great people and offically met several people with whom I have only spoken with many times over the phone. There were some great birds at the auction, and it's always amazing to see what goes into making something like the Gala happen. There were a lot of great people helping out and donating their time.
I hope everyone's breeding season is going well and you have lots of champions ready to be sent out. I would just like to remind everyone that I have made a few changes for the upcoming year for the Plymouth Peak race series. The birds will fly 6 races instead of 7 and the activation race is longer and will also count as the first official race. I will also be paying less average speed positions and moving more money to the last race. I am keeping the perch and entry fees the same as always.
Thanks to the Breeder that sent birds last week:
Wow! Only 2 weeks away from taking birds. I hope everyone's year and breeding season are off to a good start. I would just like to remind everyone that I have made a few changes for the upcoming year for the Plymouth Peak race series. The birds will fly 6 races instead of 7 and the activation race is longer and will also count as the first official race. I will also be paying less average speed positions and moving more money to the last race. I am keeping the perch and entry fees the same as always.
My wife and I are going to attend the Pigeon Gala in Las Vegas in a few weeks. We are excited to be able to talk to many of you face to face. If you are planning on sending to Plymouth Peak this year, please reserve perch fees so I know how much vaccine and other supplies to order.

For years Plymouth Peak has been a 7 race series. I am going to try a slightly different schedule this year. I am only going to do 6 races this year. The biggest differences between last year and the upcoming year will be that the activation race will be longer and it will also count as the first official race. The second biggest difference is that I am dropping the fall back race that usually sits in between the two longest races. Instead I will do a short trainer and make sure the birds are well rested in order to fly back to back 300 mile races.
I will also be paying a bigger percentage of the money out on the last race and not as many average speed winners.
I am really excited for the 2023 season and I hope the breeding season is going well for everyone. I am taking birds earlier this year as well. I am accepting birds February 15th. Please feel free to reserve perches. This is very helpful to give me an idea of how much supplies to order for the upcoming year.
