big blue bar

we fly down the east and i can say the losses i have had in last few years is terrible almost cleaned out( young birds only )the old birds have returned ok . i can t see any reason not to try down the west again . we raced west coast back when we first started up in the 80 s stafford , cheltenham , (dorchester not sure how west this race point was ) that was our three longest inland races then sartilly .Why were all these races stopped ?.DID THE FANCIERS ON THE EAST NOT WIN BACK THEN ? it seems every year the race point are getting further further east . like gareth says if it bops we are worryed about they are every where and must do every thing to clear the flight paths for our birds

I m going to pair up stock birds over the christmas hols prob about boxing day , because i m off on holidays .Then the widows 90 days from the first race.

su09ne6195 is the lighter off the two hens

the 2 hens were bought for stock birds and never raced

these are the 2 hens with full peds

ive a couple of ritchie and white hens for sale only had them a couple off years . due to more stock coming in we have decided to put them up for sale . we were wanting £30 each

ive got some white doves i need to get rid of due to the biulding they stay in is going to be renovated

cheers greenland

i personaly think young birds have to be raced last year we were left with 13 out of 55 this year as yearling we only dropped 2 even timed one from clermont . this year to date we only have 10 left out of 49 same kind off percentage and there is 3 races left

think you ll find it hard to compete just in the distance . just have to read some of the posts about the national races this year . alot of good birds lost . but good luck
