Craig Forsyth Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Hey everyone just looking for a little bit of advice. I was waiting for the birds to return from training in Aberdeen this morning, and as perusal they were right on time but when invited them in my grizzle cock sat out and I couldn't get him in but I noticed he wasn't standing and was lying on the shed roof. Later on when he came in and I was checking him turns out he's hut the wires I think and tore a patch of his breast feathers off and slightly cut the very top of his leg. In the loft now unless walking about he will choose to lie down. Just wondering if he will be okay to race on Friday? Thanks in advance craig

Guest pigeongirl Posted May 15, 2014 Report Posted May 15, 2014 I have a cock going to this weeks race. Hit wires 6 weeks ago but recovered pretty quickly I was waiting for his wounds to heal fully. He done a 50 training toss yesterday and that made my mind up.Always best to ask don't let negative comments put you off asking again. Best of luck with your racing and enjoy.
