Is it possible for someone to put up photo,s of Staffs Vosse Wittekrop and Ian Staffords Pied Sultan or can someone direct to a site where I might find them.
Was at that sale also looking for a cock to go with the hen I have but as you say they wernt in very good condition so didnt bother,hopefully they will do you some good now you got them right.
I,ve got 1 hen which was bred from a daughter of Channel Queen and Spangle Prince,bred 6 off her this year paired to a Van Hee x cock,lost 4 clocked 1 of the others from our longest young bird race 202 miles just over 7 hours on the wing.
Which particular sale are you talking about I believe there as been quite a few infact S.Wilcox was on here the other day talking about the one that was held in Holland.
Have known 1 or 2 fanciers that used to clock their birds in from a race in the middle of the lawn,birds would land and the fanciers would simply pick them up and remove the rubber,the 1 guys birds actually landed on a small table which would have the clock stood on it also some seed for the bird as it landed.
Bought 2 tubs at Blackpool last year,smells very nice in the loft for a while,suppose to sprinkle a bit where the birds roost etc,dont think its worth the money though was £25 at Blackpool for a 10kg tub.
Boddy and Ridewood have a masssive collection of pigeon videos for sale but not sure if they have any fancy pigeon ones amongst them you could give them a call.01723 585858.
I have had 2 8x6s off them over the years and found them to be very good for the price but I understand that it is now new people that have taken the business over and the quality is even better,a mate in our club is going up to Telford next week to have a word with them about ordering a new 24x8.
Have a look in the homing world at the birds of Gary Downing which are for sale at Telford next week absolutely incredable what he as done in probably the hotbed of sprint racing in the country.
