for distance single toss them or up in twos

he has bred some good pigeons that have scored well in club and federation mate,and is a grandsire to blue hen that was 30th open whitney bay london north road combine and 1st club

Paulo have a check on the red see if it has an black splashes.i had a mealy here in the yb shed i call him the gay mealy,young uns dont no what they are at first,this pigeon used to let other cocks tred him aswell as himself tredding a young hen which he went down on eggs with and hatched,but he is extremely splashed with black in his tail and wing

O will you be selling the stock via The RP or are they being auctioned.2-3 months i get £30 a week for attending all my lessons so i think if i go to em all during that time i could save £360 probably wouldnt be able to afford your stock pigeons cos ur vandenbelles are well known.

Its £75 quid a young un of mike isnt it steve,not sure think saw something like that simular on his website,if it is this is a very good price cos mike has alot of good pigeons.I might save up my Education Maintance Money(EMA) for attending sixth form lessons,for a good few weeks and possibly ave a word with mike cos he has got some of the best Vandebelles.

yea paulo got quiet a few boxing,and football ones to add to the pigeons lol a child of many talents lol

any updates mate?

a bit like yourself mate everyspace avalible theres tropheys lol tropheys all in the bedrooms and that lol you run out of space after a while specially if u have a successful season,

yea hopefully he starts picking up to full health which i reckon he will in no time

top job paulo,the same things happening to clubs round the country its a shame but its happening everywhere.A geezer in my club is a mob flyer,at the end of the season he has to cull some birds he takes all his to the chinese supposably they sell it as duck according to him as pigeon supposed to be a dark meat
