robbiedoo.

just got my december 24th one today my rp not in until saturday .

thanks for your kind comments black w/f frank i,m the same as you i have promised some youngsters next year to sales and fanceirs i just hope i keep enough for myself :-/. it just realy annoys me fanceirs selling when they have never done nothing themselves yet .

Quoted from frank dooman great thread i think a bird for racing is worth £30 and to try in the stock loft £50 now that comming from someone who has in the past paid well over £1,000 for a bird thats just my oppinion that is the price i think my birds are worth and i think i have as good a bird in my loft as most as some have said its us who inflate the prices (or at least help them) to do it so dont pay the over inflated prices save your pennies and buy from a small loft they are out there some time they will work for you sometimes they won ive only ever sold twice 3 birds in total the 1st was the year after i won the 1 loft race i sold a y/b the same way bred for £30 and felt very guilty after that then last year i sold 2 birds for £100 each i paid £450 for them 2 years before but felt they were not as good as my own but i do want to try a bit of that blood through my own, yes i have thought about selling some of my 2nd round this year but i dont know if the guilt will take over again thats after paying thousands of pounds over the last few years but i see fanciers that have done nothing with birds selling y/bs on the back of the peds. of what they have bought that anoyes me a bit great post frank i,m the same they say strike whilst the irons hot . my doos have been flying realy well for me the last 4 or 5 year and have been told to sell some but am like you full of guilt then you see some fanceirs that have never won a race selling and have orders for youngsters to sell next year and you wonder what this game is coming to and the 98% rule comes in sad is it .

well done ian i will donate a pair of youngsters to it if you want .

why dont you test before you treat .

alan i,m not getting into a debate but why treat if they dont need it . i think a lot of fanceirs think oh he dose it so i will do it aswell and i just cant understand why .

well guys my birds wont get any treatment until may cant understand why people treat in the blind . i know a lot fanceirs canker and treat for paratiphoid before pairing but i for one dont do either .

very well said and a great attitude to the sport good luck to you .

no but i hope it works ok i,m getting one from santa .

i set myself some targets 5 year ago 1 was to top the fed then win the fed averages which i have for the last 2 year . this year my target was to get 1st north section in the snfc i got a 2nd section so happy with that next year i,ll be realy chuffed to just time in from across the channel once i do that my target will be what every fanceir wants and thats to win the national .

jonesboy bhoy take a straight line from france to fraserburgh and see how much water our doos would have to cross if they came in a straight line and do the same to the west section if our doos come straight they would have to fly across about 200 mile of water do you think they do that or do you think they dog leg up the coast . the further north the harder in scotlands case the country is not that wide unless you stay in oban or something like that . imo the best long distance flyers are up here and walters on of them

thanks walter hope we all do well from the channel and get the broch back on the map i,ve still got my L plates up you got any tips for me apart from sending .

i got 3 from alan ritchie up in banff one flew ypres this year not in the clock though another one was 1st club 2nd section 2fed hastings 483 mile as a yearling the other one was 1st fed 2nd north section snfc eastbourne 489 mile also has won some good club tickets hoping to send her to france next year .

good on you gary well done you deserve it for your efforts you put into helping the sport.

where about do you stay lawrie .

Jim Donaldson's gold award winner Riems Girl 3 times 1st section and twice 2nd section only beaten by loft mates and 3 of the races were Tours over 700 miles must be one of the best doos to ever fly in to scotland if not the best .

thanks patty i,ve got a irons in the fire to make the competion better and take it out to the public .

treat for nowt imo you should ask a experienced local fanceir to come round and have a look at your birds if he thinks there alright treat for nothing and if hes suspects something get your droppings tested .

we had our club agm tonight we have 3 new members i,m chuffed the more the merrier . i also took on the club secretary job for the first time.

no problem glad to help .

i,ve not got any stock doos but i will easy send you down a couple of youngeens next year for you to try for nowt .

alan the cocks bob had with him were both 19 and both filled there eggs this year both crackers.

vita-max from orphrama contains amino acids and lots of different kinds of vitimans i would,nt be without it great stuff.
