2010 old/young bird team

[DUBLINFLYER]

just wondering how many old/young birds will most fanciers have this year the isrf plans are to bring in a 40/50 bird limit wot are your thoughts on this subject, if your a member of our fed do you think it will affect you and your performance!

we'll have 16 cocks and 20 hens for the old birds and may breed 50/60 young birds

best of luck to all members on here for the coming season and 2010

i agree 100% but you can build up a big quality team.... its not all "throw enough mud and some will stick" there's lads breeding big teams with real big quality...

but i do accept your point

[Guest puresoontjen]

20 old cox. 22 old hens and breeding 60 ybs.  

[micci]

Will keep North for this year as i like the NRCC races, although i think the Midlands National will see the local fanciers getting good open positions

[Guest ROCKYandRAMBO]

im north but im not intrested in nrcc only like sprint racing and every other week we have a sleaford so a nice 66 miler lol

[micci]

Yes i think Kev will keep North for the time being, he was here for a few hours just before Christmas and never mentioned going on the South Route...

[micci]

Its a pity we dont get a short race every other week, would be ideal.

[Guest frank dooman]

30/35 y/bs for myself i have forty odd old birds rangeing from yearlins to 4/yr olds this is the most/strongest old bird team ive ever had in 28yrs cant wait till the nats. but sometime thats when the doo,s bring you down to earth

[micci]

of course yes i'd go along with that

[Guest strapper]

i race natural..i have 38? oldbirds and will breed around 60 youngbirds.

 

[Guest ROCKYandRAMBO]

ive done the big team with 44 widowhood cocks and 44 widowhood hens raceing but at the end of the day the same pigeons where winning for me and i can count on them with one hand lol so i might as well be keeping five . now and again you get one fluke a race but when your team is on form you know which one of your birds is going to be there
