The Game Keeper Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 i rate alwyn paddy as one of the greats he has some fantastic whites and pieds
Tony C Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 Believe me if they made good racing pigeons our lofts would be full of them.
Guest puresoontjen Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 the thing is if your daughter do get the whites i think she would be most upset to see them come back wearing a red suite i wouldnt like to see her sad face for all the birds under the sun but if your daughter under stans that then why not :-/
Guest 67ghirl Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 My Son has whites and grizzles and pieds and mosaics and and and.......................... He has done really well with his Birds this year. I will find out tomorrow how the Whites in Particular have done!

Guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 is there not alot of whites in the roland jansons
steve Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 is there not alot of whites in the roland jansons but no one wins with them :'( :'( :'( :'( cos the hawk gets them :o :o so the moral of the story is don't buy roland jansons or owt with to much white in em ;D ;D ;D ;D
Guest gladdo Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 yeah thanks after giving lots of thought might just get them for flying around house for her ... never know might use some for the brothers wedding next year !!!!!!!!!!!1 thats good idea id say .....
just ask me Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 have one makes a good trapper and i use it as a widdowhood hen too
JSTOON Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Mickey, the best whites are those that are clipped down and used for droppers. I had the same last year when at a sale, and my little girl got her grandad to buy her a white, this was a willy thas. Needless to say two long months dragged by in the summer when "ALICE", her name sake never returned from a ten mile chuck!! Now she has two alices, they are the first back every saturday, and trap like hawks, yes, there the fantail type that are cut down. The heartache of wandering "WHERES ALICE GONE", has slowlyy been forgotten, and wont be repeated. ;D ;D ;D
Michael J Burden Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 My Son has whites and grizzles and pieds and mosaics and and and.......................... He has done really well with his Birds this year. I will find out tomorrow how the Whites in Particular have done! Any pics of his birds?
barnsley_pigeonman Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 you dont see many good white pigeons i think you got to have a team to try pigeons out one or 2 no good saying that im trying 4 of a friend next year fingers gross lol ;D

They have this colour in the Busschaert strain cocks and hens. You could buy a pair and sell a pair of ybs off them on here and get your money back and get some well bred whites with a good pedigree that may produce that good white one. Back in 1970 my dad had a pure white one which was raced over the channel and won and won many times. Different era. A bird is either good or bad and making a judgement on one in a loft against 20 others of blue etc is not a fair comparison. Some one has put up a picture of their Rolland Janssens this weeks who has bred winners this year, not sure if this site or pigeon chat but they were nearly all white. clcik this link to see Louellas sale list http://www.louella.co.uk/salelist.php?view=1
Guest ljb107 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 sorry to say this mate ONLY MY OPINION hawk bait I've only had one bird taken by a hawk and guess what colour it was - white! Lloyd
newbold Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 i had a white hermanxbusheart had 3x1st 2 xnd and lost it at 60 miles this year but i think wires not hawk was his downfall
newbold Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 hawks will take the slow birds or sick birds no mater what colouer they are ? how many times have you heard flyers say im having problems with hawks , do we presume they all have white s , i dont think so
Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 i have found with my whites that they dont get touched any were near as much as my reds and mealys :-/ so i think they dont get eaten as much as they others concidering i had about 30 whites flying out at one point!
Guest 67ghirl Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Just to Update Kieran still has most of his Whites etc left He hasn't won a race with the whites but at the first race 25 pigeons dropped together so it was as case of first one in, similar story with the next race. Michael J i will send him down the loft with the camera and try to post some up!

jimmy white Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 good pigeons come in all sizes shapes and colours , there have been many a white champion pigeons [remembering theres less white pigeons entered than other colours ] did jack adams not have a champ white one,? virgo, a white one ? in my opinion [after what i witnessed last week] if mr hawk wants his dinner , hell have it ] to update you on this , a batch of all coloured pigeons , many whites included i saw the perigrine attack many pigeons knocking them to the ground [see other post] the pigeons that were killed all looked dark pigeons from where i was standing,
