The slate is also known as a Schalie color. Looks like your putting a decent team of young birds together. I hope all goes well with your yearlings training, one word of advice with them, don't be in a hurry, it's better to miss the first race or two if they're not coming well in training than push them to soon and lose them.

I raced pigeons for 40 years I packed in 2 years ago. I'm now building a brand new 24ft loft I need pigeons in my life

[@Josh-NikkiB]

Is it just me that thinks a loft tour and Q&A with Dave would make a great episode?

[@kevinhegarty7332]

For your first ever time at keeping and racing pigeons I think your doing a great job I gave up about 20 years ago because of work and raising our children But kids are up now haven’t flown the nest yet but I’ve been growing and showing leeks now for the last 7 years I do miss the pigeons it’s a fantastic hobby and I think everyone man women or child needs a hobby so best of luck to you and I hope your love of racing pigeons lasts you a long time 👍🏻

Another great video. Good luck in the next race.

Thanks

[@colinbrooks6290]

Let the old and young birds out together, it will give the young birds confidence

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

Yeah confidence to fly away 🤣

[@colinbrooks6290]

@@howtotrainyourpigeon Lmaso, I’ve done it many times in the past 👍

[@neidr65]

Good advice, both old birds and young birds out together until they're stronger on the wing. Loose less this way off the loft. Let OB's out on their own first then when landed, let the yb's out with them 🤔 Brilliant channel this always look forward to the next one, good luck everyone for 2023 ✊

[@michaelweldon5867]

You should talk about the technology about the racing clock and which one does you better for you and how to set up

[@colinbrooks6290]

Beautiful sight to see…. More please 👍

I'll be following you this season. Gotta route for someone local lol

[@StephenGlencross-pb9uy]

Let them out through open doorway in a small back garden loft traps and sputnicks are okay for late comers . And have them hungry also put a plywood sheet landing board five x. Five half inch thick on post in front of trapping Aviery . Good luck glenny.

[@finbrown8118]

Good luck for the racing season. Looks like you’ve got a few champions in that YB team

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

Thanks. Hopefully so 🤞

[@bxgames4070]

It’s all about quality over quantity. I’ve only got 12 cocks and 15 hens for old ones and that is plenty

[@balangtiwob758]

They are to big when you let them out mate ! I have started also last year with some late august birds ! Have bought 50 youngsters for this year ! Make them a trap when they go out to from the loft ! From your loft they go directly out ! Hope to meet u one day mate , you’re welcome in Belgium whenever you want ! Greets Alex 👊

[@paulbyers4386]

Get your figure out with more videos please! 🙈 there more than enjoyable! from established fanciers in Cumbria! We enjoy your videos immensely! If you need anything give us a shout 👍🏻

[@jovosedlar3395]

The color is called slate or schalie and it means the bird has some heavy Janssen up close.

[@desburke7786]

Nice little team coming along lovely, I wouldn't let them have a bath out side until there strong on the wing Dan, because if they get a fright and bash off and being wet they mite drop into a neighbour's garden and end up being dog meat 😢. The trow back Dave gave you is a slate, there lovely when they moult out as will the mealy be also. How many do you have??, And nfo you plan on splitting them into two teams for each half of the young bird season ??

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

Thought it might be a slate. Got about 40 and although they're in separate sections I don't think I'll race them differently. I don't think I'll have the time with cocks, hens and two teams of YBs then filming it all too 🤣

[@desburke7786]

@@howtotrainyourpigeon Dan I'm not trying to put the Jonah's on you, but you're old bird season mite be over half way through, with the young birds ready to start training a few weeks later, and if you did split them and as I said last year, if the first rounders start to loose form less than half way through you then have the second team to come in and take over and stop the first round and then you all ready have X amount to put away for yearlings, they can only peak and hold form for so long before they fall away, you can train the second round with the first round say 3 weeks after the first race and they will go back into there own side of the loft bar an odd 1, but that's easy spotted and sorted, and you can race them untill there head starts going bald or up to there say 6th flight towards the top, you have loads of options Dan, and with all the training you will see it's not that bad and easy to integrate a second team with the first team starting to slow down and loose form. Lads in my old club always had a second team as they had a big loft unlike me, but they had teams of 100 down wards, you're looking at 20 and 20 or maybe a few more in you're second round if you get more, can you do a video of both sections and let's see the space you have and how you have set up the perches please and thanks DES 🕊️🕊️🤔😁

[@AndrewKenmare]

Great video Dan. Are you trapping into or onto the yb avory?

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

On top. There's a trap there now, another one to put in on the left section too 👍

[@niniksulikah8861]

What part of the UK were you in when you went to see Dave.? Interesting to see the head frame's of the underground mines.?
