Guest Mader631 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Picked up a Staff Van Reets hen today, bought it for $5.00 found out it was acually a $200 Bird!!! Contacted the original owner in Chicago............. it was stolen, the guy shiped the bird to WI. to a guy & the guy in WI. never payed him the $200 for it, the guy in WI. so happens ended up getting a divorce, wife got the House & property, wife said get the birds off her property, guy gave all his birds away to this Poultry Buyer & seller were i bought this Staff Van Reets hen for $5.00, I traced the Original owner of the Bird in chicago because I was curius about the bird + we don't get much Chicago banded Birds up here, The owner told me he was pissed at the Guy in WI. for *&^% him outta the bird, I asked him now what? The original owner said I can keep the Bird, said he could mail me it's pedigree papers & told me That I had a very good breeder hen. So all said & done I ended up with a $200 Staff Van Reets breeder Hen for $5.00 with papers....................... She's a really nice Bird, now hope she's a good breeder!!!!
Guest Owen Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Are'nt you the lucky one. It is good to know that we here in the UK are not the only ones dogged with the dishonest lowlife that your Guy must be. Although, I can't help feeling sorry for the Guy who lost his home. I doubt if he was very concerned with pigeons if he had that on his mind. It sounds horrendous that someone can throw you out and take over the home. The problem you have with all racing pigeons is more or less the same. Regardless of their pedigree or parentage (they are not always the same thing) or even the performances, you will have to breed youngsters and try them on the road to know anything about them. You can shorten the odds a little bit by pairing your bird with a cock that is known to breed good birds. But it is worth remembering that you are unlikely to get better tham 1 in 4 good birds even with the best stock. To do this well, you need to breed 8 or 10 youngsters from a bird to give yourself the chance to find those good ones. Best of luck with it.
pjc Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Good luck with here but you wrongly state "she was stolen!", how could she be stolen if the breeder sold her even if he didn't get paid?
