I Just Wondered

[yeboah]

Having Raced The Doos for near on forty years and having cared for and returned many hundreds if not thousands of birds to there owners ,I can honestly state i have never in all those years been fortunate enough to have a really good one that has gone missing ever reported any that have been were always duffers ,So i was wondering have any PB members been more fortunate than myself, look forward to reading your replies,Thanks Mick

I still have fingers crossed we get at least one of our good cocks reported that was lost Marlbarough SNFC... All winners and top 5 fed scorers. But our previous luck has been like yours and we never hear of them agian

Mick,

When I raced the doos in the 90s in Broxburn, a clubmate got an English stray in one day. It turned out to be "The Boss" later purchased by Louella. At the time it had about 30 1sts of its final 40.

I've not had a bird reported this season, and only had 1 last year, turned out it was a Duffer!!

 

I canny ever remember getting one reported that i Really wanted back, not Ever!! I've been about them for 35 years now. Mind you i'm never keen on getting ANY doo reported, canny trust them after they enter another loft, jmo.

Aye,

The owner drove up and collected it next day and I think sent latebreds up at the end of the season. The doo had a week off then won the Fed the next race.

last year i bred my 9th nat eastborne hen with david broons 23rd or 24th eastbourne .early in the year the cock 993 paired to a good jancen hen (bred winners for me ) so me trying to be smart left them .the young cock happly sitting eggs all day when the rest of yb team out flying.about 3rd or 4th race i put 993 in basket for race not thinking. i was back in house before i noticed what i had done . all birds home on saturday bar him . i then went bleep bleep fu bleep. a few days later i got told to phone one of the good guys in the sport steven aitchison from eyemouth. i said i think you have one of my yb,s .he said i knew that this yb would be claimed as i have 42 strays and he is the pick of them a very nice yb,what is the number on his ring i asked .he then said su10ml993 music to my ears. so their are still a few very helpful fanciers out their
