hi he had a garage at the side of the road converted into a dookit,it was ian moody that flew in the motherwell club that took me over but i knew at that time that he used to be a very good national flyer.the birds he gave me were all unrung and i still have a blue w/f cock he is at least thirteen years old because thats when i got him he is still fully fertile as there is a latebred in the hut from him i killed his hen at the end of last year as she was not fertile but they bred me two 1st section winners in the fed but it took him all year to take another hen,this cock and his hen would be free to a good home as he has no ring
