Icame with slabbink-cattrysse, busschaert, janssen bros. and my last 2 kirkpatricks one of which was a lt. griz., after 23yrs I've got 6 grizzels so the kirkys must be good survivers
Funny you say that Phil, I've just rung a young bird with a 1987 nat. ring, the only one I had must be some Kirky in this one as the mother is a lt. griz. ;D
Moved from Southampton area to West Wales, bit too far to a club from here, hoping to move next year and get back to racing, try not to let it take over my life next time ;D
As I rarely catch my birds thought I'd put pic of this cock as I had to lift him to steal his eggs still got 40 birds but not raced since '86, mine are fed poultry corn and water and nothing else, they look and handle in great nick
No I'm afraid you can't tell by looks, that is the danger of gift birds you wont know until you try them, unless the doner has given you information on the birds
