In my opinion if you want to inbreed you must be prepared to race hard and cull hard as well, any inferior young birds should be removed from day one and culling should continue right through until you are happy that you only have left the birds that conform to "your" standard and then race them week in and week out as young birds, then once the season is over cull again anything that`s performances were not up to scratch.
I have had good success in the past when inbreeding and it will certainly breed pigeons to a type, and will allow you to cross and use the F1 crosses as race birds with hybrid vigour then blend the best back in to the family and start all over again .......
But then surely whatever breeding method you use this should be the selection criteria!

My nephew is having to get rid of his roller types all were bought as Birmingham rollers but may be some X`s amongst them I don` know enough about them to be sure, all roll to some degree but these are not competition rollers just some he had for fun , but he is now at high school and struggling for time especially while the days are short,about 6 pairs I think

Bosacks ???
That rings a bell seem to remember reading of them somewhere
-
Give me a ring when you get back from Blackpool and will sort out getting them to you ,
I will hopefully be racing at the Anchor early races and then the National every couple of weeks , really setting myself up for the longer races so might as well get them used to it as yearlings

You will probably find your birds will be a bit slower coming in to form if the loft is not getting any sun on it to warm it up, so if you are interested in the early short races it may be worth thinking of using some form of heating in the loft

12 pair for racing, 6 pairs of stock and 3 spares just in case!!!
Ideally I would like to be able to house another 6 pair of racers , but think most fanciers tend to keep more stock than needed, but every stock bird purchased is the purchase of another dream "is this one the elusive golden breeder!!"

I have found my birds much preferred the newish type of plastic with a wood insert for them to stand on
this type
rather than the normal white plastic ones I had both types in one section and it was always the white ones that were left unused by the hens

I don't want to put a damper on this thread - and certainly not on Bob McDonald,- but the Ko nipius birds are not every ones cup of tea.
I bought a gay pied cock off the late Bob Scrivener - it was from the Ken Kippax lines. His pedigree said that he raced Barcelona as a yearling. I then bought a hen from Bob McDonald to go with it (he was extremely helpful and gave me a hand written pedigree to go with this hen).
But mine isn't a story of happy ending I'm afraid because I couldn't keep anything out of this pair beyond the yearling stage. I stuck with them for several years mainly because I bought the pair to encourage my son but found them to be completely unreliable - probably my poor management or inexperience but I finally decided to get rid of them last year.
I now have the old Van Hee lines and find it hard to lose them.
-Just my story
D.D.
Think most fanciers will have the same story regarding different families/strains some families just don`t suit some fanciers management, I had it with the SVR I had them from all the best lines yet never got one as far as 100 miles put it down to me and not the birds or their breeders

Thanks for that, I will send for a set

Could anybody tell me if using the click n clock inserts in a T3 if you need to fill all the chambers or could I use one set of 12 and put 6 in each of my 2 clocks as I never clock more than 3 or 4 birds anyway but not sure on the ruling ? any help would be great
thanks

he's from brian nuttal stuff that dog had 10 rats with him this afternoon
all the best.
Nuttalls are smooth coated I have visited his kennels numerous times and never seen a rough coated dog in his kennel, it may contain Nuttall but I would doubt if it is a pure Nuttall

On most forum admin sections it just comes under "groups" and you just set up the groups with whatever colour you want , but I am not familiar with this particular set up

My nephew has recently been gifted a pair of GBH , to go along with his rollers, I have been looking on the web but can`t find a lot of info on them ,does anybody know if there is a breed club for them or do they just come under the NPA umbrella??
thanks
