REDCHEQHEN Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 if truth be told how many would send her again not me. with her well on moult and the performances she has put up . hard enough topping feds to have a double fed topper with a 2nd fed and 3rd fed.their won,t be many wintering out yb,s with that behind them for breeding and racing next year. Good answer - I totally agree
maverick Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 If you decide to send her I hope you take a picture of her before you do as that maybe all you have left of her. Remember one thing she is still a baby with many years of racing or breeding ahead of her, Send her sore in the moult and you may never see her again I think we have all done it at some time just one more race and never see them again Good luck with her with which ever way you go

Guest homestead Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 Get her sentNO NO NO what has she got to prove? she's done it. Wait till next year and see if she can reproduce herself before she starts racing as a yearling..
ovy1255 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 doug would love to see a pic of this game hen and what is your distance for this w/end--are her covers gone?
Delboy Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Posted August 14, 2013 NO NO NO what has she got to prove? she's done it. Wait till next year and see if she can reproduce herself before she starts racing as a yearling.. What did Champion Breakaway have to prove, should he have been stopped??
WulDon Posted August 14, 2013 Report Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks Derek for your kind remarks. I now have a very difficult decision regards to stopping the David Reed hen. My young birds and old birds are always mixed together and never separated therefore the young hen is not flying darkness or any other system and is now well on the body moult and is on her last three flights. So do I stop her? well done Dougie, outstanding youngster... SHU trophy nomination with a doubt

My young birds and old birds are always mixed together and never separated therefore the young hen is not flying darkness or any other system and is now well on the body moult and is on her last three flights. So do I stop her? if she was darkness I would have her go all the way, the majority of young birds that fly out there skins generally fail as yearlings for some strange reason... but if a natural YB then the moult would be my deciding factor strike while the iron is hot, Kevin Murphy and 'Rocket' was a prime example when this pigeon smashed every yearling in Scotland that year, then went onto win a silver award.
DBA421 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Posted August 15, 2013 great wee doo dougie stop her shes allready the best nothing more to prove this year m8 and something to look at in long winter nightsWalter, after speaking to David Reed who bred the pigeon, we have decided to stop her for the year. David tells me the grandfather of the hen is a full brother to McAloney's Shadow Image and is inbred on both sides to Shadow. Thank you and everybody else for taking an interest in the pigeon. Dougie.
