Ooooh touchy touchy huh ;D ;D ;D ;D Cheers Ian all the best tomorra mate

These youngsters are sold, they were duly collected today by their happy new owner. You all missed the opportunity to obtain something special ;)

Good luck to everyone that sent, not expecting a great turn out in the Solway.... cant blame them :-/

Aint seen anyone mention the England cricket for a few days ;D

They are re-paired in March John. Its all about delaying the moult as far as possible in terms of primary flights for the races in June / July

Our breeders are split up, the racers are still together sitting happily on pot eggs and will remain together till Christmas then seperated

Some good posts here. When do fanciers seperate their sexes as this accelerates the moult

Not going, many a good prospect has been lost at this race. Wonder how birds will be going that were away with the SNRPC on Saturday

What has the Snake done in terms of breeding.... just curious I class the Pest as Geoff's all time champion

I want my birds to moult slowly

;D ;D ;D ;D

I am sure they only entered 4 8)

Think it looks like Walker & Wilson, 1st, 2nd, 4th, I could be wrong

What's the early / best times ??

Leicester

Yes, the SNRPC were up at 7.30

Aye, 7.30am

I have a pair of youngsters available from what I describe as our best ever middle distance hen, they are approx 8 weeks old. Sire GB 04 , Vandenabeele, Bred by Mrs C Lycett & Son, a son of the partnership's top racer Gareth Gates winner of many top prizes including 1st Fed when he was paired to a daughter of Assassin Dam Eighty Nine Eighty Nine , this hen has been a dream for us, rarely did she miss the clock and in doing so she has amassed a ream of impressive prizes:- 40th Open SNRPC Wanstead Flats 44th Open SNRPC Newbury 67th Open SNFC Newbury 176th Open SNFC Maidstone 192nd Open SNFC Newbury 1st Federation Huntington 220 miles plus numerous 2nds, 3rds, 4ths etc in club racing She is a Van Reet bred from the old original stuff we introduced in the early 90's via Dean Pallat & Dave Allen, her sire has an equally impressive racing CV -11th Open SNFC Vire 450 miles, 1st Club Weymouth 300 miles,1st Club Cheltenham 220 miles, 2nd Club Cheltenham, 7th Fed etc. £60 each or £110 for the pair, if interested contact me via PM

Now in my 22nd year of our wonderful sport, made tons of mistakes no doubt will make many more. Racing mistakes, sending that special bird that race too far or sending it when I had a niggle about only to lose it, chasing averages, send birds when forcast ahs been poor..... the list is endless Breeding wise...... I made a big mistake in thinking BELG / NL birds were the be all and end all

Roundabout is that bit extra work than widowhood. Contemplating in flying widowhod only...... but with hens

Dave Impett from Blackpool is sheer class too, his family of Bruggeman birds are class 750 miles from Tarbes

Good point Gareth Those mysterious large golf balls are spooky :-/

No but they were reported by fanciers, one was reported in Ireland and duly returned.... the other was reported by a local fancier and was told to keep it which he did and was sent to Alencon

Some fanciers amaze me, just because a bird has been reported it is deemed as useless I know of at least 2 'strays' in the top ten of this years SNFC Gold Cup result ;)

More than happy with the draw
