Novice Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 This fancier bred a pigeon for J gibson of Dalkieth which bred him many winners including a gold award winner called Sartilly express wich was also sold to Biss. I visited Henry mair in the early 90s and i can honestly say his HUSBANDRY is the worst i have ever seen in my life i wouldnt touch them with a barge pole :( Another myth---this bird was bred by Bobby Kennedy.

GRAHAM MITCHELL Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 My dad and i went up to Irvine in 1989 and bought 6 (received 7) . They were in a basket in his house and we got our pick. They never done much and never reached the yearling stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRAHAM MITCHELL Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think if you look around you will get better pigeons especially if you are planning to keep them for stock. jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
