no mate you are not wasteing your time we had a cock who my dad sold as a yb when he had his heart problem and after a few years he came back and the guy sent for him and he came back again and the guy said keep him, so my dad put him in the race team the following season and he drawed in two of the water races, for me the answer would be if they distance birds yes go for it, if they sprint i would have to see what others i got, a question i would have to ask you is hav they been going out or have they been stock
