victorious Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 they have the best ardens or arden based birds in the world, their rolands pedigrees are saturated in winners a bit of TLC and good feeding,baths etc then given a month or 2 and iam sure they would be different birds.

jakjak Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think if you are not bothered about paperwork, at £40 a pair they are good value for money. If you look carefully........there is/has been a few gems. The flor engels pigeons look very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortcut Lofts Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Friend of mine bought 8 Pouw Bros pigeons couple of months back at 45 each and i was very surprised at how well these birds looked and handled, they were the best i had seen from Louella. I do feel though it is hit or miss with some of them. Pay the £££ and take a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay the £££ and take a chance.My tip with Louella is try to buy the newer family's then there not as far away from original birds and if buying from them your better crossing with raced proven birds then you at least know 50% is from good stock ( your own raced birds ) jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpau Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Bought a hen from there recently and I was very happy with her. (Paid just a bit more than £20 though.) while I was there I had a look at the birds for £40 a pair and nearly came away with ???? But it wasn't to be. Some good!

Guest dodgydaz Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 has any 1 , bought the £40 pairs, and what strains, and what do they think of them.i've bought 3 pairs of the £40 ones, pair of kirkpatricks, pair of jules severi, pair of van den boschegot them at the end of last season so not had any young off yet, they look and feel good in the hand(nice size and weight)only bad thing i will say about them so far is that they are a bit flighty little buggers to catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest challengerlofts Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 There's a partneship in our club member ( B&D Hooper) is a Top Flyer. I have seen the stock birds " withiout pedigree " that bred winners. Brian told me, his pedigree is the Basket. I am pretty sure & I can tell you, he can win it the bred off from that £40 pairs.
