we have had 9 from 11 from messac,, birds doing 1105 and we won the west section,, some didn't clock.. very tough race that sorted the birds out... how were your returns from the solent fed.. and when did they liberate.. goodluck ant

when we go over the channel we go as a combine,, it saves a fortune and the transporter is full.. this is the way forward I think... we have 4 or 5 feds and then use only 1 or 2 lorries to transport the birds.. goodluck for all ant

going , going ,, gone,, goodluck all ant

HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE BABIES,, THEY WILL BE READY IN 10 DAYS TIME,, SORRY ABOUT THE PHOTO,, THEY WOULDN'T STAY STILL... LOL.. VERY STRONG BIRDS THOUGH,, HAVE A GOOD ONE ANT

right then oldman just told me that there are 2 in the nest which will be ready in about 2 weeks time,, we were fortunate enough to win the section in the south road national on a very hard race and the 2 for sale are half siblings to the section winner.. so dam - van reet - 2nd fed as young bird from 280 miles,, very tough race.. this is the dam of our section winner this week..these birds love the tough races.. sire - wildermeesch from eddie ketye ,, very strong bird and the first year at stock,, we are hoping to build up very tough birds for the hard races.. £60 the nest ,,, plus carriage.. I will do some photo's of them tomorrow..dam is blue ,,,sire is cheq pied,, be quick.. ant

welsh south national 12.55 at messac.. goodluck ant

up at 10am,,,, lillers

they won't be long,, the mist should be gone soon,, 3 counties at lessay have liberated.. I expect a 11 liberation.. the best of luck.. ant

phil always improving the blood line,, but we'll see,, a few years ago we had some serious bargains,, now they are mega bucks..lol.. 1 year the oldman went to luc van hoeckes,, he was friendly with dai fatstock,, so the oldman had 2 for 40 euros,, you go there now and you will pay £200 a bird..lol... also cyriel denduiver you try to go there and buy breeders,, no chance,, we bought a pair for 100 euros,, they have bred 2 x 1st fed and 2 x 2nd fed,, you must remember there are also rubbish there,, the thing is to find the diamond in the rough.. lol goodluck all ant

thanks,, but waiting on a friend in belgium ,, hopefully he can get it for us and hold it until we go over.. ant

have 2 birds reported this week,, one in belgium and 1 found dead in holland,, the belgium one was lost at lessay in france and has topped the fed this year..lol.. and the dead one in holland was at ramsgate with a north east wind,, hopefully we will get the belgium one back... any belgiums on here that want to help..lol.. goodluck for the weekend ant

the best of luck,, lets hope for a good race thunderboult.. take it easy on us this week.. goodluck ant

we are at lillers 280 and messac 280.. sending 5 to lillers and 10 to mesac,, both nationals,, fingers crossed for good returns and a cracker or two.. goodluck ant

stu top flying mate,, we will have the same problem in 2 weeks time,, we have 2 channel races this week and will have to stop 4 for the short one the week after.. at least you could pick your pool bird with ease this week.. top notch ant

The reason I ask is we are always looking to bring new strains in but we firstly look at the results of sibblings of the birds for sale,, we are more interested in results than pedigrees.. very good maybe some thornes for us in the future,, we'll see ant

what have you done with these birds,,, ant

There are many places to buy janseens but what I would do if I was you would be to buy a few different janseens from different sources and test them out,, find out what flys best into your area and terrain.. also lots of studs and fanciers won't sell their best lines so get the best you can .. we have 2 sources of janseen here now 1 tried and one being tested,, the tried ones are from frank dixon from liverpool,, they have flown very well and have bred 6 x 1st club in 2 years and 3rd,10th,13th national aswell.. the new blood is from a local fancier near us called alan maull, he has bred janseens from different sources since the early 80's.. they are winning all over the country.. and have won the bicc 2 times and many nationals and combines.. we are paying £100 a bird normally for the top lines,, and we know them,,lol shop around and try some form here and there,, but always ask for their best.. now is a good time to buy as people want to get the late bred off their hands.... birds bred now will still be old enough to breed in jan,, the very best of luck to you.. good hunting ant

all gone,, thanks all ant

some from chi's stock birds.. right here are some young ones ready in a weeks time .. they will be the last we will offer this year for sale,, so far this year we have won;- 3 x 1st club from 4 races 1,2,3,4,5,8,9, fed 2411 birds,, 1,18,24 fed 2384 birds all these birds are from a winning loft and the full siblings are in our race teams now.. 1 young one from a luc van hoecke x vandenabeele - £30 2 from luc van hoecke x janseen ,, alun maull blood.. £30 each .. the nest for £55 2 maris x distance old lines,,, £30 each £55 for the nest 2 van reets from a son of our number 1 stock hen and a daughter of our number 1 stock cock.. 2 from van reet x denduiver.. the sire has bred fed winner and the hen is direct from cyriel denduiver.. £30 EACH OR £55 THE NEST.. goodluck all for the season.. ant

stuart we are not racing them in belgium,,lol.. we hear people saying this has won against 20,00 birds in holland and 10,000 in belgium,, the birds you have are not flying in holland or belgium,, ask what have they done in britain,,, m lennon has topped the fed many times and also won a car in the nationals.. he has a stock loft with maris cocks that have topped the fed 7 times or more.. some with 10 x 1st fed.. who else has that kind of stock loft.. lots have sons of top birds but to have a 10 x 1st fed winner in the stock loft is much better than his son or g/son... petron will charge you £200 a young bird,, m lennon will charge you £40 if he knows you ,, otherwise you won't get them.. lets not all buy these belgium birds that are many generations away from the ace bird,, but them from british champions... we have a few belgium birds here but from the small lofts where money hasn't taken hold.. we have been to some where they charge 40 euros a young bird,, go back the year after and they are 100 euros a birds..

don't know but expect the janseen to be in there some where,, we have tried many different crosses but find the janseens we have the best.. we find the lines we have are very inbred and they need a crossing.. but very good birds.. all the parents of ours have topped the fed 7 times or more.. ant

maris ,, we got them ,, from m lennon,, petron think they have the best but he has earlier ones.. we cross them into our janseens and had 3rd national last year with one,, here is a few photos of them,, cracking blues all of them,, maris x janseen hen maris cock maris cock VERY TOUGH BIRDS THAT FLY IN ALL WINDS AND DIISTANCES GOODLUCK ANT

HAVE ALSO HEARD A WARE 1ST, REES 2ND, MINETT 3RD.. ANT

wayne I expect the 1840's will be newport or south of m4.. the times I quoted earlier were from the west section.. with the touch of north in the wind I expect the winners to be there.. welldone wayne .. ant
