southbankhs Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 £1000 great price for its age i would take the mans arm off not knockin her mate but if i had a grand to spend i would go to top loft and buy 10 ybs for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbles Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Mackems, you put 2birds in that list of races as if they didn't matter. 2bird races are the most equal races in my opinion as everyone sends their best two birds whereas in clubs they send birds that have never won anything and can win by sheer weight of numbers. Strange the way some people think of pigeon racing. :-/ of course maybe it is me with the wrong outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just ask me Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 yes but i belive at most top lofts there are a loft of youngers for your 5 young birds for 500 or what ever but there youngers for who they want them to go to belive me i know as i made a egit out of mysels as i paid a lot more for a youngster week after i seen something along the lines of 5 for 400 something like that i rang him up asked what was going and he just said well u can have the special offer no problem at all but there pigeons and there pigeons that hen bred winners after winners and this happens a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbankhs Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 yes but you go to a loft that you have studyed for a while or the top loft in your combine which you have been studying for a while i know the hen as bred the goods and hopefully will carry on for her new owners i bought a hen from a top loft she bred me 10 individual winners was dam grand dam and great grand dam of winners she died when she was 5 years old heart attack i think £25 she cost me as i say good luck to who ever buys her a once in a lifetime hen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
