Roundo Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Favourite Red pigeon I've ever handled was Jimmy Hamilton's 1992 Gold Award winner It was at the loft of Ian "Toddler" Brown-his 1st Section D 13th open Reims was a red chequer hen as well.He had loads of red doos-think they came through Jimmy Feeney and Jimmy Hamilton.He gifted me 2 red chequers and a red when I was still a wean .One of them bred the hen that was my first bird from Clermont last week-hoping this hen has a bright future Toddler Brown was an absolute gentleman and its probably the nicest loft visit I've ever been on Never has a truer word been spoken on PB......Toddler was one of the best!!!!!I can proudly say that I was related to the great man I have only one regret, I never joined Winchburgh Club when he was still alive......should've done it years ago.......such is life.Some of my early childhood memories were going in to his lofts and seeing all these fantastic looking Reds and Red Pieds, and he could get them from the channel.It was heartbreaking for me and my dad to put them to auction when he passed away. I'd be interested to know if there are any fanciers out there still got any of his birds. Cheers,Colin.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 were you 2nd section Lewis??

He couldnae have been nicer to me Colin He even showed me the secret sweeties he used to gi the doos when they came back from a hard race I went to the sale and bought a red chequer hen-in a rush of blood spending £210 Most I've EVER spent on a doo!!Sadly this hen was killed by a hawk in front of the loft Got a few doos cutting about though off the orignal ones he gave me. Yearling Red cock came at half 6 from Ypres and a 2 yo hen out of Clermont so looking forward to seeing what they doo next year Could not meet a nicer man.He told me about the stray that won Avranches flying to his loft as weel.Top class!! http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/topic/40753-favourite-colour-of-pigeon/page__st__20 Have a look at post no 36 on this thread

Beggars belief that he did, got him next day and he'd been hit again! So he decided to stop him. Thought he was going to put him back on the road this year as he was saying it was too full of itself, surprised he didn't, must be getting soft in his old age?!

midnight_son Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 Raymond White won Sartilly with a Red Cheq hen in 85. My dad was 3rd open that day and I remember being a wee lad at the time and being fascinated with the photo of Raymond's red hen in the BHW studbook. Sarkfoot Jean or something she was called if memory serves. As for Dickie Graham's red Carmichael Kirkpatricks, they didn't just win in the show pen. I bought SU83S 09043 when he was a 7 year old for £20. He was a beautiful red cock bred by Dickie but he had changed hands and I bought him at a sale. There was no pedigree, just said Kirkpatrick '1276' lines. I was 13 at the time and had some pocket money saved so snuck away from my dad so I could bid without him seeing as he wouldn't have approved of buying a 7 year old. Got him for £20 and he went into the stock loft. He escaped from the stock loft 2 years later and out of the handful that he bred were 0399 Red Cheq Cock who won 33rd open Rennes as a yearling, his nestmate 0400 another Red cock who won from the YB national before going on to breed Midnight Son a Gold Award winner and Dewar Trophy winner and another sister of those 2 - 3220 who was 22nd open Sartilly as a yearling.
