have a head full of stories , topped the fed many times ,yet its the first few years when still trying to learn that I remember with most affection . started in 2004 racing a handful of yearling latebreds on natural .most were lost straight away due to my lack of knowledge ,yet 1 little blue hen went every week ,got a 5th and wasn't out of the top ten either .only sending 2 old hens each week . in 2005 with the young,won first yb race ,timed in second and third yb race ,yet it was a Fed smash .I had 5 home ,stopped the 3 cocks due to only having 1 old cock .sent same 2 young hens for the next 5 races ,was laughed at weekly by the other club members ,me turning up with a small plastic box ,most still sending 20,30 or 40 youngsters .yet I timed in ,so carried on .last fed race was Picauville (France) 266 miles ,I sent the same 2 hens ,4th club &38th fed ,another smash , many didn't time ,including the club champ who had won 4 youngbird races .result = won the club yb trophy
