the amazing thing about these pigeons is that people charge a small fortune for them, but i have never [yet] met anyone that flies them[apart from you of course!!!!]does any one else fly these?
to learn from your mistakes is easy to learn from someone else' is harder.[bismarck]

went into a guys doocot the other day he picks up a blue bar cock and says to me as he hands it over NOW THIS IS A REAL DOO , as long as you have a doocot full o real doos ye will be aright
Anyone fly these what distance would you say there capable of i was thinking of trying mine at a 290 channel this coming wekend Cheers Mark
you will not know till you try them , and if the channel is only 290 miles for you i would be putting the lot , unless your a sprint specialist and if thats the case the whole lot would go cheers hope you have success
Cheers everyone looking at weather I'm still not sure the 1 RJ i have is off JakJak he's being doing well so far. I'm not a specialist at owt yet mate just enjoy the sport i work 10/11hours a day and have to young uns under 10 which are my priority always at the bottom of club results (After 3 years trying) but enjoying it a lot I'm in a good club with a lot of larger than life characters Mark
No disrespect meant, but you will find - in time - that 290 miles should be a 'Stroll in the Park' for any bird, even y/b's. If fit and conditioned when sent! Outside of so called smashes - any losses would be a blessing. Saves feed and wasting time on breeding etc.
You know, when I was oin Canada, young birds were flying over 400 miles back to back, yes consecretive weeks! Had young birds, in 1989, fly the Thurso in an absolute down pour, yes all day long for 3/4 days... yet got 2/3 three, and the other on Xmas day. Been a day earlier would have had 'Pigeon Pie' instead of 'Rook' for Xmas lunch .
thanks all for replys rang J Mellor this morn he's advised me not to send him, i put them back together Saturday and because he's driving like crazy he may give it his all and burn himself out and chance of losing him which i don't want Mark
Roland Janssens are sprinters and highly strung - could wind himself up too much and burn himself out just as you say! Crossed they'll add speed to any strain and do the distance but about 200 miles is about as far as they'll do pure (with the odd exception)
I flew the Roland Janssens last year as young birds. I had one Blue ck to win a first prize. This year as a yearling on widowhood he has scored another first prize. So i am very pleased. Sire and Dam were bred by John Mellor
and john and alex know a fair bit more than most with this family as they are winning regularly with them..and there walter docxs as well lets not forget they have some real class birds from this family as well.........
