Guest Owen Posted May 31, 2012 Report Posted May 31, 2012 I have 4 youngsters with tail and rump injuries and I have lost one which was killed by a hawk. My youngsters are not kitted up yet and are still flying around singly so I expect to loose some to the falcon over the next couple of weeks.

frank mitch Posted May 31, 2012 Report Posted May 31, 2012 I have 6 birds in total injured by BOP in my loft, but how many were killed on their way home from training/racing this year alone?
JohnQuinn Posted May 31, 2012 Report Posted May 31, 2012 Only 1, late bred blue pied ck who lost 4 tail feathers, now nearly grown back. Flew Uttoxeter last week and will be sent to Woolaston this week, if he returns he will sit until next year.
