2007 sent 208 2008 sent 217 2009 sent 285 2010 sent 212 2011 sent 179

400 to 450 miles to the guys in the north section dont think there will be much birdage with y/bs if this was the case we already fly leicester 318 to 360 miles rough estimates to milage

and trim his tail down to 2 inches do the same with his hen if shes only a stock hen the oldboy might not be agile enough to copulate properly and triming the tails make his job easier trimming round the vent clears the way better at 10 he should be still ok for breeding jmo dave

had 3 pr hatch out today

strange statement owen ive seen motovated natural birds wipe the floor with widdowhood cocks short and long distance, cocks driveing ,hens on chipping eggs, cocks on a 10 day old youngster, etc etc then other days widdowhood cocks coming good it all depends on the weather/wind so horses for courses as they say

i would shut up 4 of the bottom boxes and if a cock tries to claim 2 boxes shut his box and open one of the bottom ones jmo dave

and if the wind blows out the east you have the advantage danny they come up the west ,lanarkshires route lastyear check out the wind patterns over the last few years the prodominant westerlys are no more m8 early in the season were getting north easterlys

pity andy should be a good day im sure there will be a good entry

see you there andy :emoticon-0136-giggle:

i think if your boss grabbed you like that he would get a crack on the chin

and ypres 482 the other side danny :emoticon-0157-sun:

a race from southern ireland would certainly tempt me to send a few tours to me is 686

not in their own race program danny they have been individual members going with an english orginisation there was a bird recorded fling over 1000 miles into wick if i remember correctly not sure of which orginisation it was sent through

are you serious danny walter and the guys at the far end of the north section are flying over 700 miles in some of the snfc races tours i think was 725 miles i dont think that the snrpc have members flying as far as that

pen 5 please

to me lindsay that bird is a slate which in mine when moulted can remain slate or turn into dark checkers or checkers the ones strappers posted would be opals had these before when a red hen and a check cock were mated together they moulted out into checkers

ive got a few slate birds all out of my janssen lines also got a gift of 2 nestmates last year 1 is a slate and janssen again not been tested fully yet so will see how they perform

take a point on the south coast of england somewhere central as a refrence point for all races ,as we cant change sections for every race then take this point and make sections up on distance flown eg- sec 1 250-300 sec 2 301-350 sec 3 351-400 sec 4 400 and upwards this would be the fairest way as either west or east winds the birds get their turn ,remember the winds change and we have had a good few national races with east in the wind

welldone karen, spend it all on yourself lass :emoticon-0136-giggle: :emoticon-0136-giggle:
