We took our weekly inventory and will notify anyone that is missing a bird by phone. If you have not heard from us, all your birds are here. The birds are doing very well and are loft flown each afternoon to early evening, weather permitting. We try to get them out by 3:00pm. Feel free to watch on our web cams. We have some room in both races for additional entries if you would like to add a team or know of someone that would like to participate.

| April 25th,
Mercedes Classic- 588 birds recieved Inventory was taken today at the Mercedes Classic and Texas Gusher. We are now checking the inventory against the list of pigeons that should be here and we will notify anyone missing a bird, either by phone or email no later than Monday. Losses have been minimal and we are pleased with how the birds are doing. Pigeons are still coming in daily with many more committed. When we receive the birds they are vaccinated for PMV, given a Flagyll tablet to treat against canker and sprayed with Permethrin to keep them free of mites, flies, and lice. A chip ring is assigned on arrival and this is how we take our inventory. Birds are being turned out in the late afternoon, early evening. We typically leave them out for 1.5 to 2 hours, then fed in. Feel free to watch on our web cams. |
| Update April 23rd,
Mercedes Classic- 503 birds recieved Birds at both locations are being turned out every day weather permitting in the evening time around 4:30-5:30. We feel this is the best time to get them settled and the best time to avoid hawk problems as they are more active in the morning hours. An inventory was taken at the Gusher last week and one pigeon was missing and the owner was notified. We will do an inventory at the Mercedes Classic this week (Wednesday or Thursday) and anyone missing a bird will be notified by Friday. We will do a weekly inventory from here on out. If you don't hear from us then all your birds are still here. As each bird arrives we assign it with a Unikon chipring which allows us to keep tabs on the entries. Anyone that would like to recieve weekly email updates can email us with their email address. All updates will also be posted on www.cbspigeon.com If you have any questions about your entries or anything else pertaining to the race please feel free to call or email us and we will do our best to keep you well informed. |
