Hormoforms a good product.Not many supplements have been released to the fancy that have stood the test of time like it.Nearly 60 years Fairplay to Frazers though on their version at the price.Used some of their products and can only say good things about them
I looked into inbreeding and linebreeding to pigeons years ago.Until a loft has one or two extra special pigeons(mines included) I don't think its worthwhile getting caught up in. Still its a useful thing to know about and once you have some crack pigeons its a good way of ensuring you'll have more in years to come
Yip I'd especially like for Alencon to be a success next year if it goes through at the meeting.Then get it back on the cards for 2013/14/15 etc to get a bit of consistency back to the main event
One more...Doo men I admire an awfy lot. Davie & William Young of Avonbridge Ypres-Davie sends to one channel race a year this being it,his worst position since the birth of the race is 52nd.William,how many poeple have finished in the top 10 at the highest level in three countries Top fliers and nicer men you'll not meet
A barron season but for me still the best loft in the SNFc this century Anyaway...I've to stick in if I want to achieve the kinnae results of the aforementioned have a nice night all
Top Class Ma da met him when he was on the tar motor at Tulloch homes in Carronshore.One of the best. Cannae forget Jock Reid and Ogilvies from our fed at National level.Results we can only deam about
http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/topic/44356-coronation-express/page__p__637577__fromsearch__1entry637577 Theres the Johnny Kirkpatrick Rennes result I posted a while back. At the time I did not have a scanner.My mum got one last week,I'll try to work out how to use it this week
Leave it with me.I know the man who has them all I was able to get the Anderson Bros 1939 Rennes win from him-the last loft in my federation to have won the Gold Cup.As well as Johnny Kirkpatrick's "Coronation Express" race.
Pretty sure you could have a good conversation with the Broxburn Bullet about club and fed pigeons as well John Be it old bird,young bird,50 miles or 500 miles he is at the top of the sheet
Elphinstone is a real hotbed when it comes to the nationals Many a good race night there I'd imagine especially if it was you that had the first bird in the village I went to John Bosworth's loft years ago but I was too young at the time to remember an awful lot about it. First loft I had ever been to where he could feed and water the doos without going in the hut.Not sure if it'll still be the same,as I said it was years ago.
I like the birds out most days. They were on an open loft all last winter and we lost fewer to BOP over these months than a clubmate lost in 2 weeks having had his birds on lockdown from September to March. Its each to their own but I wouldn't personally like to be locked in a shed a for 5 or 6 months on end.
Some topping fanciers from the North like everywhere else-Ritchie & Whyte,Mr "5 o'clock rock" Walter Masson,Wilson Noble etc. A lot of other top fliers up there that have had great results last season that will keep the North on the map for years to come. A fancier I have always been curious about it Davy Rose,not just for his results.My dad bought a pigeon of his at Mussleburgh.He came up to my dad after the auction and gave him his contact details.He told him to get in touch and he'd give him something down to go with the hen.He died shortly after the show I think. The hen went on to be one of the best pigeons my dad has ever had as a racer and breeder.
