Frank is one of the reason why I became a champion first time entry in OLR and compete with big guys with just less birds. His articles helped me from the start. I won over $ 21k in OLR in just 2 years. 17k in 2021 and and 4K in 2022. Hoping to win again this 2023 🙏

Hi Frank, thanks for taking your time to answer all the questions and help old and new fanciers to improve their game. Can’t wait for the middle and long distance mix for feeding.

Man, this is a fantastic way to learn. Keep up the good way to share these well kept information on all your subjects.

You had me cracking up! at u saying they're not geese flying north!! 🤣

I kept this in my Watch later list, finally got the weekend to enjoy it. It was as expected, excellent content. Thank you, Frank. By the way, I think we could also skip the paramyxo vaccine but I am afraid to try it (yet). I skip vaccinating 1-2 birds yearly, sometimes youngsters, and I don't see a difference. I also don't vaccinate my 10+ years old birds yearly although I do it every other year or so. I had cases in the stock loft where before weaning, one youngster showed paramyxo nervous signs while the nest brother was fine (from vaccinated parents). I also had a bad case of PMV in the youngsters of 2015 (bad vaccine maybe)... some where really bad, some didn't make it, and some where standing like rocks, looking totally immune to it. Look at the feral pigeons also. There is a colony here I've been studying for years, I haven't seen a massive drop in numbers yet and the vitality some of them display is incredible although I am sure their diet is very poor, I don't really know how they manage all this.

Thank you again!! You answered questions I have had for months! And I learned so much ! I call this sport the Secret Society of pigeon raceing because there’s really not a lot of info out there ! Thank you again !

Frank has boosted barley sales world wide....😅

Hi Frank after you fed your birds do you leave a bit of barley in the feeder for the hungry birds to feed on

Hi Frank. With the young birds racing do you still use the pick pot measurement like the old birds for example 1 pick pot per 10 birds or do you just feed the youngsters when racing until they leave a little barley. Thanks Rod

Since we can not get Versele-laga and candy treats from Jedds here in Hawaii … would Winners Cup mixes be a suitable replacements … 😮

Yes

not sure of the time difference,however ask my question. Based on your pictures of depurative mix you use / heavy mix ,, i tried to work out the protein mix of 11% for depurative & your heavey mix around 17% . So am i on the mark with 80 dep+ 20 %heavy mix. We don't have the variety of grains that I seen in European mixers.

Really enjoyed Thanks

Can you please speak more about breeding selection of breeders x genetics x feeding of breeders etc etc etc .

Hi frank, where do you get your pmv/rota vaccine? Thank you

Barley's indeed a good feeds to reach a light body weight of pigeons, but i dont think it sustained a long distance race, better mix it with good small seeds like saf flower or peanut maybe

Frank, what is your best advice to starting racing pigeons again? I used to race as a kid and now I want to get back into them again; would you buy a couple good pairs of breeders or start with a bunch of youngsters and breed from what races well?
