[Bluedoo]

Sadly not sending. Birds that were intended for Falaise went to Ypres. Best of luck to all who are sending.

4 or 5 to pick from, 1cock & 3 hens

cock sitting 12 days at basketting

2 lesbian hens sitting 4 eggs, been slipped 2 small youngsters today, their first of the year

1 4 year old hen 14 day eggs

My only predicament is whether to send a 2 year old hen, she was my 3rd bird from Alencon, homing on the Tuesday. Her cock got himsef lost from Hastings the same weekend as Alencon, and I was amazed that when this hen returned from Alencon she went straight on her nest and has sat those eggs tightly for over a week when I gave her a newly hatched y/b and now she is like a demon on that baby, her condition is good, but I am not sure how she is mentally. Do I try and take advantage of this situation or do I put her by for next year?

Any advice anyone?

Falaise is 601 miles to me, so at least its a short race this time ;D

[JOHNNY WISHBONE]

Only you can decide although she seems keen and she certainly would have learned from her first trip at alencon.

[Blue Tooner]

The decision has been made, she has gone to the race, so time will tell if i've made the right decision or not

[THE FIFER]

got 3 going, 2 hens, one is 2yo and one 3yo and a 2yo cock.

[Guest]

The decision has been made, she has gone to the race, so time will tell if i've made the right decision or not

 

bet you get her good luck (ok)

Good luck with your hen. Strike while the iron is hot, if you didn't send her you would always wonder what if. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
