You've just mentioned your own hen Mick scoring 3 times in the Gold Cup. Feenie's game hen, Strathclyde Lass going on to win her Gold Award in 1981. Newcombe Brothers 14th Open winner, Little Miss Muffet followed it up by winning Avranches the following year, when they did the 1, 2 , 3. No doubt several others went on to score at the highest level too. All dream pigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoxjn Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 festival live circuit eddie reckons it was his best ever and that's saying something coming out of that loft fantastic that's what fired my brother in law and myself when you saw those results and the names different class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All dream pigeons I'm sure Eddie s Little miss Muffet was named because he singled it up from moffat Back in those days when you got a performance pigeon you could gaurantee it would be there the following year it never entered your mind that you would lose it If only we could turn the clock back I still have that blood in the loftWhen blue hen 1900 was 10 years old she bred a blue hen that topped fed for me ,when she was 10 yo I bred a blue wf cock I have pigeons bred from him when he was 16 lost him of loft when he was 18 yo The sire side was from mc Ivor brothers famous Tinto goldmine One flew well for a well known lanarkshire fancier and sadly went down from France this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
