all over Europe from what i can see the average age of winners has dropped interesting point bigda might be that birds are maturing faster these days too and there only so many fights in a dog and in most older birds they become homers not racers if you get my drift first thing geo i would say is the right birds makes things easy every result tells a story try to find the fancier in the bad location getting in the results and ask for some late breds you never know your look some people repair there racers you can even ask for the eggs and have rear them in your own loft you can get some right good ones this way its done all the time in Belgium and Holland
