before we know it! I was watching the birds have a bath today and it was brilliant to see just how many can fit into the bath in one go, sardines in a tin springs to mind! A bit of good news for me and my dad is that Ernie Goodyear has organised another trip to the Kassel Show in Germany on the 11th & 12th November 2023, and I have to say that I cannot wait to go back, it’s the first show they are holding since 2019, with 2020, 2021 and 2022 all being cancelled due to the
moulting mix will be reduced, and barley added. The next treatment will be around the middle of November when we give them all a 10-day Paratyphoid preventative. We have about sorted the birds out now, with a few being selected to go to auction on Elimar, I think there will be around 15 in all, with some very good birds going on, you can’t keep them all after all. After these birds have gone, we will settle all the cocks to their boxes in the race loft in readiness for the 2024 breeding season which will be with us

Coronavirus and then the risk posed by the war in the Ukraine. So, on with the article for this week I have the last race of the season for the North Derbyshire South Road Federation from Exeter on 15th September for the young bird Championship race. The race was held a day earlier due to a poor weather forecast over the weekend and this turned out to be the correct decision, although the race did turn out to be quite a testing one. Thirty-three members sent 367 birds that were liberated at 10:45 in an east south east wind. The top 30 in the Fed were 1st & 29th David & Andrew Swift & Son Tom of Heage, 2nd, 27th & 30th Martin & David Rickard Bros of Kniveton, 3rd Bryan Potts & Son Allan of Wirksworth SC, 4th & 13th Mr & Mrs Dave & Dianne Allen of Unstone, 5th Ian & Margaret
