  2. my first ever thrill was winning my first red card with a little blue hen, way back in the past, but i can still see her in my minds eye..The other was with a mealy cock that won Basingstoke, 2nd Fed, Then the following week won Gurnsey, week off, then won me Poitiers 400 odd miles and i think it was 2nd or 3rd fed, i won the club by an hour, and we had some top names in the club, Les Davenport being one of them.. I lost this Cock from Bergerac, looked for him for Months
  3. It was Les Varney who took all Les Davenports birds, me and Milkyal was at Les's when he collected them, cant remember the year
  4. got a pic here of a son of Les Davenports Ropley Lad, which was owned by Milky-al on here, it had bred him loads of winners and won in the showpen dont know how to post the pic !!!
  5. Watching my favourite hen fold her wings back after 14hours 14 minutes from Thurso, way behind but that didn't matter

    lotto win

    won £7,570 on hotpicks. 1x 4 numbers. 1x3 numbers, 3x2 numbers... all same numbers last October, thought i was a millionaire for a day, couldn't sleep that nite
  14. In 1981 i had a couple of strays bought with a a job lot transferred to me, the hen had a broken wing, long timed healed ,the cock no ring, the previous owner had cut it off due to a broken leg... this pair bred me over 20 individual 1st prize winners, when i packed in the origional Busschaerts i had aquired went like hot cakes, (No sale for this pairNo pedigree), the cock went on to breed the same amount of winners for the new owner out to Thurso 434 miles, Eye-Sign played a big part in this, and im sure that if you have stock sense, you will get some real bargains from Louella as many have done over the years

    mix slaked garden lime with water and paint it on the floor and in any cracks, dont blow about, and keeps nasties at bay, i think Bernie Bennett BHW uses the same method !!!
