that was also how i learned to tell if a hen would lay the next night or that night or would not lay in three days at the earlyst and im never wrong if my good cocks hen was going to lay on basketing night he was spot on if you hold a hen and you cant feel anything when you press gently against her vent she will not lay for at least two days if you can feel a round mass she will lay the next day and if you can feel the hard point she will lay that night once you get a bit of practice its 100 per cent correct the only time i got it wrong the hen i was checking had a round mass of internal canker but when the mass had not changed to a hard point by the next day i knew something was not right try it with your eggy hens its a handy thing to know just push your finger gently but firmly on or just below her vent handle the same hen every day when you see the cock walking be hind her and you will feel the different stages the hen goes through from nothing there to swollen with round mass to sharp point and laying and you will never be caught out with your hens laying in the basket unless there in the basket more than two days -

ive scored in every eastbourne national ive flown in george with yearlings and have a very good record in our fed longest inland race maidstone wincanton salsbourgh with yearlings but i was trying to find them out now that i know the ones that are breeding them and that they can do it i wont be so hard on them but any off new matings go every race to the coast and if i thought a yearling was right id send it across the water but thats if you can afford to lose it if its your best yearling you might want some youngsters off it first m8

there not any better than anyone elses del there just healthy m8 and ive learned how to keep them that way i am allready hearing of guys in a few clubs with heavy losses and it will get worse as i predicted a few weeks ago i will stop my latebreds del as i did last year and im looking forward to the longer races with a good team the nextfew races will tell because thats where ive been hammerd in the past but if im right i should be ok this time because i dont have adenovirus and if i dont win i still should have good returns as i said before m8 there homing pigeons and even with bop and eastcoast clashing the biggest majority should get home my problem was can i stop my birds getting adeno from op birds and ive been working on that so far so good but i know i could get hammerd at these race point we are coming to only time will tell m8 good luck

andy i wasted the best bird i ever had catching him he won six firsts 8 seconds and 14 thirds and over two thousand pounds in pooles and a load of fed tickets all i had to do was send him driving after winning three he started wasting time he did not like to be caught i then got stall traps and he won three more then he would not go in the stall trap without wasting lots of time if i would have had ets then he would have been a legend i stopped him at three years old and he bred me some great winners but as a racer he drove me nuts he died two years ago age 17 what a doo he was called taylors boy after my oldest grandaughter who love him to bits a gay pied cock get the ets m8 if you can afford it you wont regret it best thing i ever done and i was against it at first to solve bad trappers you cant beat it good luck to you -
just in from work and my two latebreds are home both are banged up but not to bad so im all home think the late breds have done enough ill stop most of them thats them had 40 tosses and 4 races started with 18 lost one to percy 17 left make good birds for next year or send to the comeback race later in the year but i have far to many cocks so might keep a few going anothere week or two but there bred from my best birds so worth putting bye have to have a think about it
