It's in the 90's but each loft varies, perhaps it should be looked at their are 3 classification's =

 

2% Quality

18% Standard

80% Sh-te

Rocket Brain look in yer own Loft and tell us what % of gid Doos you have and when you last one a race or even got yer name on the major trophies apart from the Hot Water Pond Blawhames.

Danny that Gid Pigeon of yours that whipped the Coatbridge Boys in Wakefield (in your eyes) do you think  she is in the Top 2%.Good luck this year and are you trying her at the First S.N.F.C inland National.

i think this is a good call for 98% rule but does differ from year to year,

you only need to look at your own lofts and see how many birds you have over 3 years old when all the average birds are gone and left with the better ones

I'd go alng with that, and certainly is the case with 'Mob feather sellers.

I put it to one that of the 200 odd he sends, if any loft had 8% (8 winners in a 100) they do very well. He said, 'Brilliant, never mind well'! Now they race 200 and sell 190 lol. I wonder why.

Why I often think one is better off without a 'Stock Loft' and every bird has to earn a perch, let alone a nest box. And after 4 years they have to go.... preferably to a new comer or a not so good flyer.

[Guest IB]

Can't help thinking that if this 'rule' is true, then our breeding methods need looking at? After all, we produce them.
