REDCHEQHEN Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 Considered which birds I would be sending for this coming weekend - last weekend as we had a race on Monday, so not sending that many - just a dozen or so as it's likely to be a holdover for us Folkestone - 260 miles
Shortcut Lofts Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 North East, so again i will empty the loft 41 in total to Clonmel 156 miles. SL
Novice Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 Probably only send a few hens as I cannot afford to have any more cocks thrown away in North Easterly winds. I will keep them for the later races.We are racing from Consett and the wind forecast is about 20mph North Easterly and will remain in this direction but drop slightly towards the home end.
pigeonpete Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 20 i think, all the cocks including my sons 7 latebreds!! 152 miles yeovil, strong north wind!!! hope he gets them,

pigeonpete Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 your just trying to loose his so you can beat him lol no he will be gutted, but he knows they have to go, They have been trained hard most of the winter, in snow and north east winds, and out of the 15 cocks he had these are the 7 he has left, so im hopeful
OLDYELLOW Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 no he will be gutted, but he knows they have to go, They have been trained hard most of the winter, in snow and north east winds, and out of the 15 cocks he had these are the 7 he has left, so im hopeful he only needs one to win
