Kyleakin Lofts Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I have had them with eleven in one wing and eleven in both wings and they are just as good as my birds with ten in both wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Reid Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Think a pigeon with two wings no matter how many feathers would be better . :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterboswell59 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 guys i was trying to ascertain if a pigeon with eleven flights in one wing only would be at a disadvantage in a long hard race balance wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterboswell59 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 no bearing whatsoever Wattie imo.thats why i was asking if anyone had birds that had done it dell and in a hard race i sent my mealy hen with the 9 flights in one wing to elvanfoot today with the idea of trying to keep her ticking over incase her flight came in ok and she was the 3rd bird from 68 i thought she might lag behind a bit because of the imbalance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikki Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Personally I would never tolerate or even want o breed or race a bird with any wrong traits , it's bad enought trying to get near perfect types to score at the distance , doesn't mean it won't be a bad bird but, but breeding a hut fll of fancy colours also had its drawbacks , I suppose that's the difference between us bak door fanciers ,and master strain makers they have very high standards ,Stan biss ,alf baker , Alfred Bennett to name afew come to mind and recently mr and mrs Elliot , onwards and upwards ,😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
