All good here after that smala heat wave last week that stressed a few birds - but all looks good - tight droppings. Early morning temps are in the 70's and highs in 90's this week - get those entries in until September 30. 

Regards

Small heat wave going through the area for the last week. We had a few birds die as follows this past week:

AA 2090

O+L 4822

Pueblo 22248

HMC 588.

They have been updated on the breeder list to reflect that - Not sure yet if it is heat related stress. We have to pull two other birds that seem to have severe respiratory issues. As a precaution we are treating with our special Adeno-Zap mix for a few days. We will individually treat those two birds for respiratory and see if they can recover. I hate to treat for anything during heat waves ~!!

Will keep you posted.

Regards

One month again of accepting entries through September 30.

We have a small heat wave passing through Arizona - hopefully it is the last one of the season. With that comes, dust and winds and sometimes rain. We had enjoyed several weeks of cooler weather prior to that. The birds are doing well - no major issues to report.

Best regards

This week's temperatures are really nice - around 80 in the mornings - so take advantage of shipping this week. We still have 6 weeks remaining for accepting One Loft entries.

Best regards

Hand inventory complete - check Breeder List for any missing birds.

We are accepting birds and replacements until September 30. Next week temperatures are much cooler again - good opportunity to ship birds.

Remember - you do not pay Entry Fees until the Final Race - great opportunity to see your birds perform in 4 training races before you have to come up with the Entry Fee.

Best regards

Very windy and cooler with rain almost every day - this is a good week to ship your entries to take advantage of the cooler mornings.

All good so far ~! Hand inventory in process this week - 

Best regards

Late hatch flown in March 2023 - 5 races - NO Entry Fees due until Final 320 mile race ~~!!! Get to see your birds fly 4 races before having to send your hard-earned entry fees. We are seeing WAY TOO MANY losses right after you send that doomed entry fee after the short activation race only to lose your bird at the very next training toss ~~!!

Tempertures seem to be dropping off now - hopefully we are past our Summer high tempertures - birds are looking good.

Best regards

Keep those entries coming in for August and September - still 2 months of acceptance period open. The birds here are doing well with the unexpected string of days with lower temperatures in the 90's. No health issues to report -  

Best regards

We have some cooler temps (70's low, 91 high) a few days this week with some rough storms rolling through.... no respiratory issues surprisingly with all the dust and temperature swings.

We still have August and September to accept birds and any replacement - we will take an electronic inventory by mid August to show where we are at with all the settled birds.

Two birds need replacing -

HNC 576

AA 2088

Hot days followed by stormy rainy days and heavy winds. We did have my personal youngbird loft pushed off the blocks (no birds hurt) and another huge empty loft flipped. The OLR birds are fine ~!!

Please NOTE: At this time of year you CANNOT overcrowd shipping boxes. 2-bird boxes are meant for 2 birds; 4-bird boxes are meant for 4 birds - doing more than that will result in dead birds on arrival ~~!!!!!

Best regards
