Yes a winner is a winner, but i would class a top 10 section place, in a national or classic, and consistency, better than a one off winner in a club race with smallish birdages :-)
but a winner is a winner :-)
Cracking looking birds Alan mate, still will be hard to get a better looking bird than the young blue van reet cock i had off you, will get a pic of hi now at the weekend, he is class, As are the rolands i had off you :-)
They will get through loads of extra water during feeding ybs, The extra grit an minerals, they will consume more, if they look well, and feeding the ybs o.k, then nothing to worry about,
Get em gone mate, sitting on house roof is no use whatsoever, Wish i could get mine down the road every day, If i could get an hours and halfs flying time in every day that would be ideal. All the best :-)
