ive got pure white feather feet real beautys ile breed u some if you want something bonny

[Chatrace]

I use Sattinetts,they learn fast and can fly well and have some good color patterns.

Bad news is the hawks like them also. Just had one caught thru the wire in the flypen yesterday.

i use garden fantails, also have westies but prefer the fantails,

[Guest Paulo]

got a tumbler, prefer fantails normally had a fantail but it didn't get cut down properley and was away

[Keepsmilingqueen]

i use a pair of huge feather legged crossbreed things(very stunning to look at especially the cock), they are a cock and a hen and are both well into there teens agewise, i dont even bother to clip them down anymore they know there job better than i do, i only use them for the youngbirds to teach them to eat ect and to trap on race day as i use open door system, for the old birds i rely on the sputnick trap and lots of training to get them to happily go in  ;D

 

chatrace how the hell did the hawk get that thru the wire like that ?! i keep my stock birds with free acsess to a flight pen like that and you have me worried now that mr effing hawk will get them as iv seen one cruising but always assumed that all birds were safe as a had nothing out eg everything behind wire

[ACE LOFTS]

iv got a fantail cock i cut him down in the racing season and throw him as the birds in the air,

also dont forget to do this while training.

was it a hawk, crows (carrion) have a habit of getting birds through the wire etc.

Was a Hawk

[Mr Staff Van Reet]

I use INDIAN FANTAILS for droppers they dont fly that high, bigish wing span so when the clap round only 3/4 feet in the air the racers trap staight away!! they look smart and they do the job 4 me anyway! ;D
