There were none at Blackpool because the Fantail club did not agree with the classification I think.If you intend to show exhibition fantails you will need to learn how to lace the tail.

It sounds like you have your heart set on fantails, but i would recomend modenas. They are easy birds to look after and I usualy found them easy to breed although some people would disagree with me. I started with them when I was 11 and over the years bred some good birds with stock I got of local breeders. I had to cut down the modenas at the beginning of this year due to work but if you are intrested in getting into them go to some of the big shows and get talking to the modena fanciers and I am told they are always keen to help a beginner.

[Guest tomo68]

Thanks mate i will look into it.
