Yeah this is the new place Mick - Its not too bad but has blown a gale all day - But then where you live i would think its 10 times worse ;D The grizzle in the bottom of the picture was bred by Ferry1 on the site from his Mel Bell family.

retired Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Posted May 4, 2009 How many young birds do you fly There is 28 in this first team and approx 34 just weaned over into the second team.
flyingteessider Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 in the eighth picture to the left hand side it looks like a silver what is it it looks to pretty to race or is it the way the light has caught it.

I think you mean this one (Picture taken with nestmate when weaned) I am not 100% sure what colour it is as there must be a proper term but i would just call it a silver Cheq.
retired Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Posted May 4, 2009 what a contrast they look great Steve (who bred them) seems to have the habit of breeding such colours - The batch he delivered from my own stock birds last week have thrown a few suprises also.
Guest peter.j Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Eldest team of YB's - Second time out earlier today. As yet unfinished YB Loft thats bigger than my full set up lol
retired Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Posted May 4, 2009 thats bigger than my full set up lol You need to find a bigger garden then mate as i have the 18ft pictured and also the 16ft to go in September.
just ask me Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 they look great mate the only thing i would say is maybe its in your plans allready hope u dont mind me saying is too put some rope accross the top of the roof mabe about 4 to 5 lines in line with the roof edge mine go about a foot in height on the edge of the roof (hope i explained that right) as u know when there racing they will land on roof then to trap and they can play on roof for while if the ropes are there they have to hit landing board :-/

pjc Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 that youngsters a barless mealy usualy bred from a black paired to a red!
DeDarren Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 The location looks a belter Chris, as do the youngsters! Good luck for breaking them!
