REDCHEQHEN

Perhaps they should rename the site - because you lot are obsessed and its p*ssing me off

Forecast has changed yet again this morning (shrug) I'm peed off with East winds (France on Saturday)

I got my last one back at 6.00am this morning a 3 year old cock - flown out

It will have been Billy - there was 62 on our fed sheet

Did you get a line of flight weather report (happy)

Loft fly then basket and train

Anyone know how many birds are away - can I let my young birds out ? (kewl)

Basketing the birds had to be done on the said day - deemed back in February - Liberation is not set in stone I was expecting birds to be heldover until Monday or Tuesday - and sent accordingly

I can't see it being cheap for pigeons - freezing and storing sperm that is It was on a video I watched a few years ago I find the idea ridiculous

they would hopefully be well past Frank Dooman by now - in Redcar its hazy - but visibility isn't bad (I can see the hills but not the individual trees - I would be able to see them if visibility was excellent) however it is rather warm

Its amazing what you can do when you've got plenty of money from trading in pigeons

The question was asked by a Scottish member - if you weren't flying North Road - then your answer isn't really relevant - past Derby (heading North) visibility was down to 50 to 200 yards for most of the day - and it was p*ssing down where I live from about 3.00pm Saturday as well as poor visibility so I think the the weather played a very major part in racing for those of us flying up the East coast in races a lot longer than 180 miles on Saturday - there is an inquiry into the UNC Race by the management - and the incorrect weather reports they were given (like the NORTH EAST Wind blowing the rain back out to sea (shrug)(shrug) )

I see the Lerwick birds were liberated at 6.45am today Good Luck to all who have sent

Brighton is the closest - can't find any in Hastings SO27 BRIGHTON N R F C Wayne Clarke, 132 Birdham Road, Moulsecoomb, Brighton, East Sussex BN2 4RR. Tel: 01273 708014 SO162 SOUTH COAST FED Mr Mick Vaughan, 34 Clayton Road, Brighton, Sussex BN2 9ZP. Tel: 01273 698552

You won't get many races at that distance - or less we only have 2 !! Many people class sprinters in different ways - time on the wing rather than distance - so a fast longer race would be a sprint race some people would say up to 200 miles others - up to 350/400 miles I don't know anyone with Van Reets - so couldn't comment on them

so what colour are they? chocolates?

they are more complicated - we're just looking at straightforward stuff (evil)

(evil)(kewl)

Thanks - good flying on a less than perfect day for these gallant pigeons

It depends on the colours - its not that straight forward ie - you can get blues from a pair of chequers - but you can't get chequers from a pair of blues red hen with blue cock would give you red chequer or mealie cocks and blue or chequer hens - but it doesn't work that way when its the other way round (red cock - blue hen) Cock x Hen = Cock - Hen youngsters Blue x Blue = Blue cocks - Blue hens Blue x Mealy = Mealy cocks - Blue hens Blue x Blue Ch = Blue, Blue Cheq cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq hens Blue x Red = Mealy, Red cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq hens Mealy x Blue = Blue, Mealy cocks - Blue, Mealy hens Mealy x Mealy = Mealy cocks - Blue, Mealy hens Mealy x Blue = Mealy, Red, Blue cocks - Mealy, Red Blue hens Chequer = Blue Cheq cocks - Blue Cheq hens Mealy x Red = Mealy, Red cocks - Mealy, Red, Blue, Blue Cheq hens Blue Cheq x Blue = Blue, Blue Cheq cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq hens Blue Cheq x Mealy = Mealy, Red cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq hens Blue Cheq x Blue Cheq = Blue, Blue Cheq cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq hens Blue Cheq x Red = Mealy, Red cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq hens Red x Blue = Blue, Blue Cheq, Red, Mealy cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq, Red, Mealy hens Red x Mealy = Mealy, Red cocks - Mealy, Red, Blue, Blue Cheq hens Red x Blue Cheq = Blue, Blue Cheq, Red Mealy cocks - Blue, Blue Cheq, Mealy, Red hens Red x Red = Mealy, Red cocks - Mealy, Red, Blue, Blue Cheq hens
