andyyy Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 should have disposed of the first time.....how many y/birds do yo have off them...? just to say, Cause a pigeon makes a mistake doesnt make it a bad bird.. A hen of mine went missing from a training toss came back when i was short of hens, So i bred two ybs from her and they both scored, one scoring more than once. every birds deserves a 2nd chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of 1 cock that was hawked they have been to all 5 races. good to see that you have only dropped 1 bird....your left with some birds you can build from,can I ask why are you sending your whole team each week...? how many birds have taken positions in the first three in your club.I would suggest that you start selecting and setting your birds for nominated races rather than entering them all each week.....good luck.

andyyy Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 you did not loose your hen she worked her way home....big difference after she knocked, with 9/10 people she wouldn't have seen the light of day again. All i'm saying is that they always need a 2nd chance, And for a new fanciers to know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i've got a 2012 bird from her coming well. I commented for the fact someone said about loosing a bird that had offended before they should have disposed of it.. And my hen is a perfect reason why you shouldn't do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeboah Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just have to look at birds from all federations on the transporter at first races then look at federation birdage now and we are only at 200 mls tells its on story no hiding from figures lots of birds down nationwide must be frightening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
