p charlton Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 ive been reading some stuff about the bricoux strain are people still doing with them
Guest j.bamling Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 J kimmance -Liverpool used to race them but i dont know if he still does
p charlton Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Posted February 9, 2008 hes got a ad in squills but does not say what he does with them
Guest j.bamling Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 i dont know if he races now but according to older squills books i think he did quite well
leighton1984 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 we still fly them good on the hard races
Guest j.bamling Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Personally i would look for a family what people are winning with now regardless of strains ... all a strain is is peoples names thats all at the end of the day they are all pigeons, busschearts ,wildermeesh ,willy thas, jan aarden, janssens ,soontjens ,van reets they are all the same they are racing pigeons they just take on peoples names who had them or raced them There is 2 things to look for regardless of names -- Good Ones & Bad Ones and there is more bad ones in all the family names i have just mentioned !!! go to someone who is winning lots of races and try some and go from there !!!
paddymac Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Bought a pair in last years yb auction here on the site from a member using the name The Doo. Raced them lightly this year and lost one, but hopefully I'll have better luck this year with the other. Beautiful pigeons, nice shape and good feather quality.
