100% returns with old birds but second YB race was a disaster, lost 11 out of the 23 sent. Not had one reported or anything work back so God knows where they all went and there wasnt a fancier in our club that didnt have his team at least halved that day.

A pleasure to speak to you Paul and as for all you knockers out there, do what I do and put your money where your mouth is and give them a go! Where I come from if you sent a thousand that were no good you still wouldn't win FACT and my Fed isnt as big as his!!

I tried that days ago but alas no reply!

All well and good but not very up on PM's it seems!

Ever thought that medication/Treatments Etc have played a part in the good old pigeon getting more durable Vic? The winner in our club was doing 1279, very good I though as a howling gale was blowing from the NE with bits of tree and stuff blowing everywhere at the time! I didnt think our own Vel of 1212 in the conditions was bad till the result came out, no cards this week! lol.

Cold, E/NE wind and raining in Hereford.

13/13 from poole

Hereford & South Shrops Fed at Poole. 99 miles to us.

Glad I never sent to be honest and as said above, Good luck to all!

Gangster I feel I owe you an apology, I think its me who hijacked your post here, not intentionally and it has now got a little out of hand over a personal comment that would, in the view of all this been better kept to myself. Sorry buddy.

I hope they have, their fans deserve a dose of misery the way they acted in Manchester!

Well the people who liberated are there to see it first hand and still they do it so think the only answer is to replace them with people who care for the welfare of the birds as well as the fanciers interests. To do the things they have is nothing short of disgusting on a criminal scale. Hope you guys get the majority back if not all of them

Aye welldone Pompey! Didnt send any pigeons this week, watched the cup final and went fishing instead

Lol I'm sure she will! Good luck to you buddy

Well I feel sorry for you people that did him a favour, he did PM me asking how many birds I was breeding him? Cheeky git I didnt even know him! I didnt like his atitude to be honest and told him NONE and thank the lord I did too! Maybe he will come back one day, probably with a sob story mind, and hope he finds a post or two where people that have won with the birds you all bred for him as that would be justice for your hard work in way that would really rub it in.

They are based in Dudley West Mids. Phone number is 01384 456800. Ask for Theresa she will sort you out.

jakjak can you tell me a bit about the pigeon I have marked out please? PM will do nicely. Thanks in anticipation, Mark.

Make sure you use the nail wisely as it was charged at the same rate as the corn! Lets face it the price of that is in the precious metal catagory thesedays lol

Well when it flips I will turn my birds north road instead of south road. Sorted!

No whites on the pic's, if you mean the gay mealy pied he's a Staf Van Reet, both the Sire and Dam bred down from "Vosse Wittekop". Here's the parents and inset "Vosse Wittekop" himself if anyone is interested. The whites I used to have were also Van Reets if they are the ones you were refering to? Diferent lines to the ones shown though.

Yes we have, last tuesday evening a kit of about 100+ went through here and took all our YB's with them, never had any back for 2 hours then small batches of up to 7 a time started to return and after 3 hours all but 3 were home, 2 of them were our older ones and good prospects for the future so wasn't too worried about them but one had only been flying a few days and was off some birds I have brought in to try out so didnt give him much hope, to my surprise though he came diving in like a rocket after about 3 1/2 hours and boy had it scared him! he couldnt wait to get in the loft i tell you so maybe he might make the grade! Had one more very late on when almost dark and the last one came scaling in at 7-45 the next morning looking no worse for wear thank goodness. I always think when they make a mistake like that and put it right they are better birds for it so you might well have a team to play with there come the YB season Billy. Beware though! Sometimes they get addicted to doing it as have teams of mine in the past and will disapear with any batch for hours on end and come back knackered

My boy John pulled the lever to let them go mid week here so tell the guy to send him a few quid out of his winnings will ya lol. A pic of the lib is here if your club mate is interested http://forum.pigeonbasics.com/m-1210177307/s-2/#num2

Valiant is a scot too isnt he?

Tidy set up that and looks like its solid enough to out live the last one too!

13/13 from Southsea with Hereford & South Shrops Fed although one was late and there were a lot of birds still out from others at Club time
