thanks paul, i should have got a picture of the father to that hen you had, as he's in that section also, it's dam is the slatey hen i put in the thread about slatey's a few days ago.

here's a picture of the other cock

hi vallance, that sounds similar bred to one of my cocks, his parents ring nos are gb99v68205(uncle to express,prince and mr gallant eddie wright)+gb02h85036 half sister to prince and dtr of treble

the dark white flight on the right hand side is out of a half sister to treble when paired with g-son of his pau hen. the other cock is out of a son of the pau hen paired with a half sister to prince and dtr of treble

i bought my 2 direct from a sale on elimar last year, 1 cock i have paired with a g-dtr of reggie+jingles of brian sheppard the other is with a inbred dtr of de prins from robert venus the youngster's from last year are still here and i have high hopes for them.

i have 2 cocks.

we're not bothering this year with europa this year, having a go at rpra yearling race, swol race and cheshire challenge 1 loft race.

no probs les, i know what you mean. adrian

hi les, where abouts are you living. i'm just west of swansea.

a few.

hi bigda, i remember i particular tough race from ramsgate(240 mls) a few years ago, winning birds doing 900 ypm, we took first 4 in club, 3 of them busschaert crosses(1st,2nd+4th) the cock who won also won the week before doing 1100 ypm.

i agree with you, i've had success crossing them with jansen,tournier/de klak,ardens and padfields.everything i've tried them with basically.

i have some and i'd put them up against any vans any day of the week.(i don't sell though)

hi julia, you've been here a few times(just off junc 47 m4) i was just wondering if it was certain days . thanks

hi ian, i go half brother+sister in the stock loft but as these are racer's i did'nt mind, so long as they're happy.

lol, they've just hatched out a day or so ago, i'll chuck a ring on them and give em a go i think. both parents are winner's on the road upto 1st fed.

hi all, i leave my racer's pick their own mates and two nestmates have paired together, i have seen good results through pairing this way(smargd birds) but would like to hear other peoples view on pairing this way, do you do it? what's the results ? . thanks

hi julia, how often/ when do you pick up in south wales? thanks

thanks mick, i'll have to contact him again as he'll be paying for it.

a lot of people have been having problems with yb's dying using those black felts.

did you get any of the grizzles(tournier based), had a few through jutla bros, done ok

can't remember exactly but i think it was south of dublin(around wicklow area)

not using a black nest felt by any chance are you?.

i got a 5yr old irish cock here, he came in last year. the guy wanted him back but could'nt send/come for him. if your going over, i could ask if he could meet you, if your going.

are you going over phil?
