Injured Doos

[sapper756]

Now that the majority of us have began the racing season, how many injured doos do you have in your loft, which are unable to race at present?

 

And do you know how they were injured?

Sad to report someone will get an injured blue bar in today. Tagging one of my own birds from Coldstream race today, the underside of one wing is covered in blood - thought at first it was a whiteflight, but may be a missing flight. Bird didn't come down with mine, hope it makes it home safely.
