Jack Barkel - Eyesign

[William Reid]

i studied eye sign for years its a nonsence its nice to look at but apart from health you can tell nothing about raceing or breding abilty from it its just a fact that some families of birds have nice eyes and some do not its a family trait the only way to find out if a bird is a good racer is the basket and the only way to find a good breeding pair is breed lots of yb off them and race them eye sign men who win out of turn are few and far beetween and they win because they have good pigeons not because there pigeons have a good eye nothing more nothing less

Walter I got three new stock pair in this year hope they have got go faster eyes :lol: :lol:

Selection by means other than performance? Nice idea but makes no sense at all.

Those who want go down that road should at least grade the birds and test them for performace.

It is a bit like thinking that all the good young rugby players with potential will make it when most don't.

I see no reason why anyone would want to populate their loft with birds that conform to a theory but can not

win races. I reckon that genes and management wins races not theories. Put birds with the right genes in the hands

of a top manager and they will shine. The problem with looking for short cuts is that poor managers think that it is the birds that are wrong rather than look in the morror.
