What is the problem with having 2 Maidstone`s?

Mine been on open hole since jan had one attack but i saved him twice but it`s only a matter off time but still think it`s better for the bird`s in the longterm .

Too Posh.

Told the brother that a few years ago but he no believe me!!

We all know it makes sense to go together BUT the DINASUARS (spelling) wont move on .

When are we going to see one of yourselves? was at John Houstons on sunday and seen some class distance birds with your blood through them .

Thats just happened with one i just binned hatching long ways from the egg ? never seen this before.

Good Loft report on Sam Nelson from Glenmavis on Elimar by Tom Corrie jr.

I have just been looking up Snfc results on research of the late bred i bought at the Snfc sale and in 2009 George Rankin & Gareth sent 6 birds to Andrezel and timed 5 on the result 580+mls that is awsome and they say there are no good doo men through here lol.

Same here but swelling slightly different.

Cheers Andy , am not enjoying them just now that is now the second round from my stock ruined and not a yb to show for it ,i had bought a speciel hen from mark gilbert for him , sorry for my ranting just a bit pissed off.

I have had what looks very simlar and they were Burns the birds had been roosting on the tube heater that came on during the night got it confirmed by Dr Henk Deweerd.

Went in stock loft monday night to find what was my top distance stock cock lying dead on the floor he was only 5 and had hoped to base my family around him, his offspring with all hens are cracking handlers and look the part and am just starting to get them on the road and a double whammy what ever happened spooked most the other stock pairs and they all abandoned all their eggs He was bred from a very good line from Richard Combe . I was so seek i went to my bed at 8 oclock on monday night! Who said this doo game is fun . Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

I was hit today for first time this year , i was cleaning out when i heard the crows going mental came out to find sparra on top of blue pied cock he got free and the hawk chased after him with me in chasing over the fields with my gun with the crows still following going crazy then the hawk knocked the doo down into a field and had him pinned but i managed to scare him of my fella ,never got shot at it but will be waiting tomorrow the pied has been very lucky with only 2 small punctures , he is the only yb i have out of my 2nd sect Maidstone hen lol.

Thats great to hear Gareth, i like as do others to see who is flying well in the local area.

Well Done to the new management, you are starting to sound like the federation you should be, but can we see a fed result every week either in the homing world or on the web . but well done again .

I have always beleived peanuts to be very easy digested hence the reason Chis gorden feeds peanuts on return from the race ! jmo

A fancy a go at arras if i have any birds left .

I ment inland programme but will have some for Ypres i think it should be the yearling nat.

same here the yearlings will go to all bar one race due to holidays.

Sorry you lost one mate , Today i was very lucky . i bought a late bred at Snfc sale from Gareth Rankin she is a little belter but she was so young when i bought her she has`nt been out the loft but decided to race her so let her out today with the rest thinking they would hold her here WRONG she was first out and within minutes a Sparrow Hawk goes over ! up and away watched for her all day never seen anything until dark ! down and in ! one clever doo , she has past the first test Intelligence. but i have been lucky so far the birds have been on open hole for 2 weeks and no hits Yet , the crows help .

Old Joe Hodgson was the very first man i got doo`s from as a 13 yr old and always told me they would score at the channel and dark cheq hen 4139 scored out of rennes , i waited from midday on day of lib and up again 3 oclock in the morning praying for her to come home ,timed her at 10,30am and was on the result but i thought i had won the national ,that one pigeon ingrained the doo`s on me forever.

Some of Peter Virtue`s jan arden best breeders came from louella and he is a Legend.

My yb`s get racing only as education for the future not to win a piece of card that tells me nowt , how can it be cruel when it is nature to fly even in the moult.
