Have a feeling that you will have no need to visit any cliff's next weekend from Falaise.

Oh !  Boy i must of been very good if word has got round about my singing. I can see a new career in the music industry for me.

Sending 3 cocks and 3 hens all sitting around the 13 to 14 days.

Decided to send 6, 2 cocks and 4 hens, the other cock just doesn,t look good enough tonight, so he will have to wait till next year

Sadly not sending. Birds that were intended for Falaise went to Ypres. Best of luck to all who are sending.

4 or 5 to pick from, 1cock & 3 hens
cock sitting 12 days at basketting
2 lesbian hens sitting 4 eggs, been slipped 2 small youngsters today, their first of the year
1 4 year old hen 14 day eggs
My only predicament is whether to send a 2 year old hen, she was my 3rd bird from Alencon, homing on the Tuesday. Her cock got himsef lost from Hastings the same weekend as Alencon, and I was amazed that when this hen returned from Alencon she went straight on her nest and has sat those eggs tightly for over a week when I gave her a newly hatched y/b and now she is like a demon on that baby, her condition is good, but I am not sure how she is mentally. Do I try and take advantage of this situation or do I put her by for next year?
Any advice anyone?
Falaise is 601 miles to me, so at least its a short race this time

Only you can decide although she seems keen and she certainly would have learned from her first trip at alencon.

The decision has been made, she has gone to the race, so time will tell if i've made the right decision or not

got 3 going, 2 hens, one is 2yo and one 3yo and a 2yo cock.

Good luck with your hen. Strike while the iron is hot, if you didn't send her you would always wonder what if. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Hi Stuart she wont get out of the basket until Falaise I watched Willie Davidson tying them

Good luck remember my young one.

Ian

look's a good turnout at the lanarkshire marking station at uddingston  don't know about the one at newmains
birdage could have a big lift with the mighty lanarkshire fed joining the snfc for the falaise race

I heard about 480 at Uddingston and 280 at Newmains. Not bad considering the poor racing we have had this year.

Considering this weekends weather forecast, when do you think they will get liberated????????

GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARTICIPATING

Looks like a Sunday race just now but who knows maybe the weather will have changed by tomorrow morning for a lib.

Have to agree Gareth, it looks likely to be a Sunday liberation, but fingers crossed it,s a good race whenever they get up

Sent 9 Flying 508 miles.They are made up of 2-5yolds,2-3yolds,5-2yolds (5 hens-4cocks) sitting between 7-14 days with 3 of them back on the roundabout system.Lets hope the weather improves and everybody gets a fair crack of the whip.Good luck to all.

Sent 11,  8 cocks 3 hens.  5cocks on big y\b and 3 day eggs. 2 hens on 12 day eggs. 1 pair on overdue eggs. and 1 pair on 15 day eggs. Best of luck to all who entered.
