bluey Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 I am sure someone will advise you how to race your widowhood hens. My question though is where are the cocks that came with them ?
ken Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 out of the ten i got i have one cock for the 6 hens he was lost traning but worked his way back so i never raced him again
bluey Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 I only asked about your cocks because you did not mention them, probabably because your question was how to race hens. You must be disappointed that no one has answered your question yet. Both cocks and hens of the Lambrecht family will race on widowhood and roundabout, they are short distance/inland pigeons but some have scored over the channel.
