    YB LOSSES

    I think birds bred from generations of untried birds the amount of birds that are proped up by anti biotics and the amount of birds sent that should have been culled long before they have seen a basket. I also think many people simply cannot spot problems or check for them like crop retention and they will not stop thier birds if this occurs or know what to do.
  15. To the gentleman wanting Keiths number contact me.
  16. Also 300 to 450 isnt long distance 525 mls plus is my pigeons distance success is judged from 605 mls Pau int onward and more than once they have to do it at least twice in good time .Agreed me 300 to 450 is middle distance and is flown differently.
  17. Well said me total commonsense thats why so mant cannot fly the distance on a regular basis rushing and not letting the stock mature.A top distance flyer whos spouse and partner is on this site had a fancier visit he said after looking and talking to the flyer if i had these pigeons and flew them my way they would do much better flying them harder and more regulary . The flyers repost if i flew them your way i wouldnt have any left he is still winning the other chap isnt and never did.
  18. Same as Rose but i do not ybs yearlings which i start in may to 130mls as 2yrolds to 400mls then to 610 mls and beyond. Totally natural it suits my personality i like my birds round me and i can pick them in form far more easily.
  19. Kenny Hogg won Niort NW combine Niort with a chequer cock he had done well with some reds which i will get back to you on. I ended up owning the cock via Alwyn Hill i paired him up with a multiple Niort hen of Dicks another chequer we got 5 youngsters out of 6 eggs Dick won the 3rd on the toss of a coin he bought the fish and chips that day. We got 4 chequers and 1 silver from them
  20. I wouldnt waste your time worrying about them DD.
  21. Keith is a decent man just give him a call.
  22. I can get it for you monday evening .
  23. Call him and see if you could buy some youngsters.
  24. Good Cattryse Keith Arnold of Coventry his birds win from 1st race to last.
  25. Darky Dick had 2 out of the flea dusky chequers they bred some good birds at that time you had Dick,Tom Rigg,Martland Bros,Albert Bartonand Tom Aughton all basically flying the same birds i went to Martlands,Albert Bartons and Tom Riggs with Dick they were all basically the same stock as they all swapped with one another.The reds and mealeys were mainly kept by Dick and the Martlands good hard pigeons. Johnnie Orritt still flys them well at Mere Brow in the NFC and North Ashton and look at Brian Littlewood and few others like myself do alright with them but one thing these men had in common was good stock sense and how to get a pigeon fit in body and as importantly in the mind.I ask people to look at Dick Baldwins results between 1959 and 2000 .In that time he only introduced 3 hens into his stock loft show me another man who could do that and maintain his flying record.
