peter pandy Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 One of my fancied ones arrived at 12.30 and in all my years in this game I have never seen a pigeon so WET it was black with water where it should have been blue. 2 races and its probably finished for the season. Rab my heart goes out to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbiedoo. Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 i got another couple back the day but still missing 20, birds that have flown battle which is 490 to me, like you say thats pigeon racing, sometimes hard to take for all that, just hope some make it, the weathers really against them now to john I feel for you John its a horrible feeling. Last week I tossed all my hens 22 of them from 20 mile in a bonny day at the time within 5 minutes it was snowing it took 3 and a half hours for me to get my first 1 I ended up we 11 out of 22 on the day fortunately they all turned up on the Monday . I know it won't feel like it just now but you will get more home over the next couple o days pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belge Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes he is feeding fine. Luckily the Hawk never turned him over and its only his back thats affected. I've seen a lot worse survive. However I don't think he will see the inside of a race basket again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
