billt Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 The first red's I've bred for 27yrs.after buying in a red ch.cock for stock,He's paired to a dk. w/f hen so I was hoping for not too many reds,all reds seem to get hawked pretty quickly here, is there anywhere left in the UK that you can fly them?
OLDYELLOW Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 nice birds I still like reds , I find they like the lighter ones better i.e whites light grizzles although last year lost a red hen right in front of my eyes of trap first time out after winter lock up

billt Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Posted March 10, 2011 I think its a myth that hawks go for light coloured ones,I've got 10 light grizzle's, no problem but reds I'll have to wait and see
billt Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Posted March 10, 2011 looking good Bill!Wait till they're out Phil
VMS Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Used to think reds/mealys got the attention of BOP.Now think its Black/dark uns that attract them.
