Luck

During the winter at the socials etc, if i get the chance to ask the guest whether there was Luck involved in their big wins or was it precision planning that got them.

Example; Su 91 L 26261 Cheq Hen. Paired to a Leopold Cadou Choc Pied Ck Bought in to go with her, topped the Fed 8,000+ birds on her first nest of the season.

THE LUCK was they wouldn't take to each other and there wasn't a spare Ck to run her with so she sat spare with him in the Yb section.

Met the guy who sold me the Ck and told him it was no good as it was sulking and wouldn't even defend its territory. The guy told me to come and he would replace it with a young bird due out of the nest, said i would take the original Ck back to him when collecting the YB. Guy said no keep it.

Collected the Yb and, on my life, the very SECOND its feet touched the floor of the loft the original Ck was showing up and chasing it around the floor.

He then, having found his voice, took to the original hen, still in the yb section, and they went to nest just in time for her to win the first big Trophy of the year in the Fed. I'd take bets if she had paired with the rest in March she wouldn't have won that race.

What's your luck like?

I have to say generally unlucky, but you defantly need luck in this game, it's the secret ingredient in my opinion

It was the story of the L & K Buddle pigeon that made me think of Luck and what part it plays in our game. Ye get the exceptions to everything and i think the Macs are probably the least reliant on luck around, certainly around here.
