Guest Redadam Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 I had a 12 year old blue hen alencon 6 west section the best she did

hotrod Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Posted March 14, 2014 nice looking doos, get a pair over to derby arona from them... I once sent one off them to the Europa one loft race in Cardiff ,they let me get in about a week after the closing date as I don't breed early , the blue hen made the final and was home on the day i think about 150 th out of 1,100 birds in a fastish race which don't suit these pigeons . Top class. StuartJim the hen handles like a yearling , when I let fanciers handle her on visits their gubs drop when I tell them what age she was .
