:lol: :lol: The cock thats in the egg

Within 2 years hope to have 3 sections of racing cocks and only one section of natural hens as they women dae ma heed in so only been letting the cocks eggs hatch 2nd round .

Only till they hit Shap

My Mate came round today basketed all the youngsters then put a divide section in the yb end,tagged the hens and seperated them as the big problem was they were paired up and not exercising because of it,so well pleased with todays work ,41 cocks 29 hens plus second team of 32 cocks

Very well done Lee ,looks like he could go straight back,what distance to Pau,is he going to Barcelona ,Atb Mick

PS you up at killie the day steven rallying support for the Gers

Right there steven cleared away here today for couple of hours then back to chucking it down still the same at the mo ,classic car rally on here this weekend hundreds staying in the town and once again soaked to the asre.

Sun trying to show hills clear at present would sale through if it holds ?

Weather no to good here very heavy rain just cleared dry at present but would not put any bets on for how long strong wind high cloud at present with 99% cover

Yeah the weather this year has been terrible and not in favour of our doos,big show at penrith cancelled for tomorrow because of flood warning on local tv tonight monsoon weather here tonight pure thunder rain .

Listen here i have worked my socks of since 1972 never once not been of committee running club or taking part in club and fed matters so if you think for one moment that i do f-- all you are on a different planet ,I have no birds away to maidstone but am only speaking up for fellow club members who cannot understand why if they wish to fly in the national as they do that there birds are prob looking at another long haul in the baskets when they are still in the uk ,how do much larger organisations than ours get round this as they do ???

See you've got it figured out alan i thought for a minute perhaps you had them on a 3 in 1 :lol:

As i have said in previous posts seems everyone can delay basketing bar the scots

Right there Gareth nothing easy about race controlling ,way back in the record hot summer of 1976 the weather finally broke down for the ybn my late uncle stan scott won the race from an entry of 4952 on a vel of 835 birds were ages in the basket and it pissed down when liberated sure there was only 20 odd timed and if memory serves me correctly think someone was going to have a go at the president at the presentation think it was charlie graham president?? Maybe global warming started earlier than we no Similar alan av'e jeest no got any

I have no birds to send to maidstone and have not been looking at the forecast,but if it is as bad as posts state why are they going thursday night would it not be in the birds welfare if the forecast was good for monday to basket saturday night,unc makes those decisions with 30,000 doos is it no common sense or am i missing something omo .

Sad but true Frank

Terrible what they have to put up with Frank,Peregrine strike with tail missing neck cut open would be made by talon when the falcon hits them at over 100 miles per hour it turns underneath the pigeon and grabs it hence why so many birds return with part wings and tails missing witnessed it on many occasions if it does not get a proper hold and the bird escapes it was most likely with a batch at the time the peregrine would then attack another bird with the excitement if it had been after a single bird and had inflicted those injuries it would have caught it at second attempt don't want to come across as a no all frank but that's the way it is mate,got my last doo home from the national today unlike yours it was intact,Sorry about the doo frank atb mick .

Well Done Jimmy and Neil,any gold cup doos there.

Thanks all,midlothian yearling in tonight will feed up tomorrow and some men from moffat who are working in edinburgh at present will lib it wed morning just like to get them clear of these bloody hills and give them a chance every bird that comes in is treated as if it were one of ours we're all jock thomson's bairns.

one of the doos wife and daughter lib tonight from abington yearling hen turned out to be one of kev's so well done on both counts kev

Steve when me and kenny left the fechan sat night after loading the transporter had only traveled few hundred yards up to roundabout and peregrine crossed over in front of us was still hunting at that time of the night in the rain headed into the fechan brave peregrine or else somebody's got it on widowhood ,ps hope you get them in the morning atb mick .
