I have been checking out their site for weeks now. They have sme very good looking birds for a few quid. I have have some and will check it out every day from now on.

[ticeye]

at those prices it is worth a gamble  if you are lucky they might be still fertile only takes one pair of young birds to cover outlay

[wee red hens]

nice looking birds

On a more serious note that is bad , and they should be telling there customers thats the case when they buy there birds

flying couriers went to pick them up but they would not give them to them.

[OLDYELLOW]

they wouldnt have had them ready no doubt , Louella used to ring couriers up on specific days for collections , bet they were not ready probably were short staffed but thats no good to flying couriers should make them pay for the waisted journey , not good for courier or customer no wonder there last courier went bust  

[peterpau]

I've chanced me arm on some, Busschaert's, however was charged twice, and the next time it weren't the right bird. Worth a punt but keep an eye on 'em cos they seem a bit lapsidasical in the office.

[ribble]

I would certainly take a gamble on this bird.

[Guest youngzimmy]

the onlt reason they are there is cos they are done have you seen the age of some of them widdna gi them hoose room

[Guest shadow]

I know plenty of people who have bought them and bred plenty of winners out of them at that price you pay your money and take a chance I did  and never regretted it

i think they will retain around and remove the older birds , i missed out on 2 the other day but never mind   as for house room there worth a crack to get some good blood at a price that wont hurt the pocket , i can say most my birds are through them , and others are from top performing lofts , as for the quality from both sources is in my mind equal .

Must be worth a shout.  I bought an 8yr old Vandenabeele hen bred by Gabby for £45 got to be worth the "risk".

[T_T]

Sorry folks, what I meant to say was, Sire and Dam are direct Gabbys.

[Guest youngzimmy]

i agree they are good pigeons or they would not be there in the first place i just get abit nervy about pigeons of that age and the breeding they have posibly done already i lke them to be no more than five year old but that is just me

[T_T]

I can see where your'e coming from zimmy, the great TFC Larkins told me last year that he dosn't keep anything older than 5 years old to breed from.  In the past, things may have been different and as we all know, times and systems change but some things have got to be worth a gamble and I think these stock birds of Massas are one of them.

they did'nt want another courier service to pick them up,they wanted to use there own courier service, last time a mate got them they were held in a holding loft for a week.

thats terrible that i think they should be more informative about there arrangements however im sure a letter / email of authorisation for carrier to collect then surely it could be arranged as normaly can collect yourself by appointment  :-/

[paddymac]

I also bought one from the site last week. Had it delivered within 5 days to the n/west of ireland using J Miller, no problems. Have bought one of the red van hee cocks advertised this week and hope to get him over by  friday.
