has any one tried their £99.00 for 6 offer [regardless of strain] how did it go for you

Guest chrisss

the reason for asking is that with only 5 pairs of "breeders" and a very small budget to bump the numbers up a bit i might have to go to them and i need to know if on average is it worth it

have never used louella birds but if u got another 5 pairs off mates birds that they mightn't be using and float the eggs this is what i done and u can give birds back at end of breeding and u will have a family of birds that u have and sort out quicker what doing the business for u

you could buy a lot more expensive and they would still be crap

a gamble whatever you buy

know one guy in my club 5 from the 6 were winners

as i said before i have not been lucky or louella pigeons have been unlucky getting me

tried asking mate

but having just joined the club most people assume that you know jack about pigeons [i have had birds since 2001 then in 2002 by daughter died which stopped me until now]so they won't lend out birds to what they think is a  new starter [which in racing terms i am]

also most guys breed from everything they own and will not help out anyone because at the end of the day they are flying against you [which gives me a huge will to win!!!!!] :K) :K) :K) :K) :K) :K) :K)

i don't know but i would assume that before your 3 year break your birds were a threat to some of the other club members [lets face it that can happen]so now they are a bit worried that maybe the "big fish in a little pond" flyers ie local club champ might be getting multilated again [no offence to the winners out there one of these days i intend to be one of you] :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I brought six about four years got none left . brought a couple of £70 ones last

season 43rd open mcc .Just ordered another six for£120 i think in the end its a

game of chance .

 

You were obviously happy enough to have bought again though

Every Bird we have bought from Louella has bred winners inc a 1st Combine -We have not had that many off them over the years but they have done well ...

mind you i would not buy any now for a few reasons .. but £99 for 6 is a bargin its impossible to breed them for this price !!

with 5 pairs of stock birds,2 rounds breed you 20 youngsters,you would do more winning with 20 quality youngsters bred by yourself and also testing your own stock out would be just has good or even better.but louella i have had some fantastic pigeons from them over the years. ;)

I brought 18 dutch jansens last season at the end of may, they took to the skies more or less straight away, I had them coming from 6 miles 5 weeks later and I got them to our first young bird  race at 85 miles. I only finished with 3 of them probably might fault for rushing them but 2 out the 3 won, they have moulted out into nice birds. ;)

i bow to your better judgement

BUT i am looking to explore all possiblities just in case of a flyaway etc also my birds are all gifts from guys on the forum which i have had for a month or there abouts and are not ready to go down yet so iam looking at all the options

i have been told that racing is not a numbers game but every one that i know about in my local club has ordered at least 40 rings [most more]
