aye ready Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 As I rarely catch my birds thought I'd put pic of this cock as I had to lift him to steal his eggs still got 40 birds but not raced since '86, mine are fed poultry corn and water and nothing else, they look and handle in great nick why no racing since 86(shrug)
billt Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Posted December 28, 2009 Moved from Southampton area to West Wales, bit too far to a club from here, hoping to move next year and get back to racing, try not to let it take over my life next time ;D
showman Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Hope your plans to move are a success. If the rest of the birds are like that one, they deserve to be raced
showman Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Have you ever given / sold birds to anyone over the past years since '86 , as it would be interesting to know how they perform ?
pjc Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Some youngbirds might be tried this year if I drop some rings over Bill. ;)

billt Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Posted December 28, 2009 Some youngbirds might be tried this year if I drop some rings over Bill. ;) Funny you say that Phil, I've just rung a young bird with a 1987 nat. ring, the only one I had must be some Kirky in this one as the mother is a lt. griz. ;D

Guest joshdonlan Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 what strains are they? are they very inbred?
billt Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Posted December 28, 2009 what strains are they? are they very inbred? Icame with slabbink-cattrysse, busschaert, janssen bros. and my last 2 kirkpatricks one of which was a lt. griz., after 23yrs I've got 6 grizzels so the kirkys must be good survivers
pjc Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 I would sugest these are very streetwise with the constitution of an Ox!
billt Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Posted December 28, 2009 is the bird in the picture a janssen Looks more like my old cattrysse family
