VMS Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 If a pigeon performs from a race once or twice that guarantees nothing which I have leant over the years,a good fancier told me no guarantees as every pigeon is only as good as its last race, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQuinn Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Do you not believed there about 14,000 birds missing now in the fed, like why you tell me ,how many we race each week, and come next year a 400 + members can only manage about 4-5 thousand bird to race and that includes old and yearlings Naw a don't believe for wan minute 14,000 birds are lost. 14,000 left is more accurate. Ye started this thread coz you lost 80% at the weekend an yer trying tae hide behind non existent numbers you pull out of the air tae get others tae agree way ye. Sunday was a Hard race, no more no less. The first 3 were easy races. Of course you don't want them tae go past 100mls coz yer shown up for whit ye are. A BAD FANCIER.

dal2 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Your joking solway is hard place to young birds ask themWe deffo have a problem with the cumbrian hills....we jump them with the old birds which has worked out well but we have two races from Sedbergh (Kilington lake services ) which makes us a bit nervous. Around the village we have been proactive with the problems and attacks have decreased noticeably. I am of the opinion that a stinker can and will pop up at any point especially with yb as they try to navigate weather etc and that's not a new thing but the lack of later birds and next day returnees is a bit of a mystery. ...some weeks getting them steady for the first hour then it becomes a struggle. ...this must be bop driving the birds off line which is Bourne out by some of the birds getting reported from all directions. Also no a big fan of crossing across the country .....too much to go wrong for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know there was 16,500 rung in the fed andi have omitted the SU tally just not to complacte your thoughts you know including old birds we race on a good year old bird racing 6,000 odd birds you tell me where last years young birds have gone and this year will follow suit and a suppose you will not agree about 800 young birds in our fed out the game, but they are used in next years race tally and only for that reason, they to would have went to the big shed in the sky and if yer idea was yer birds are only as good as their last race, there is no point in keeping record's of races or places raced from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Here Danny where are the disastrous loSSes (2 S's no wan) happening. All my Ybs are natural and NAE training. Mind am mister average no wan ay the big shots and ave got plenty Ybs left for next year because I managed them to suit Ma sel. If your sending Sick birds that are bred aff numpties by a numpty then yer gonny get 80% losses. Ps. Race 5 at the weekend I sent 4 got 2 and am disappointed in the 2 that never made it because they are Fed and Bred tae race. Why ye not racing yer ybs John ? Every race you've sent smallish teams .

JohnQuinn Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Why ye not racing yer ybs John ? Every race you've sent smallish teams . I only had 34 for racing Derek, night before first race I put 10 away that I didnae want tae loss for nothin. As the races passed I put another 2/3/4 away at a time due to moult condition, 7th flight is cut off point for me, so I was sending wee teams for both those reasons. Gave more away this year than I kept, including bro/Sis Son/Dgh of my Reims hen and the double G/Sin of Blach Caviar. All away Gratis. Cutting right back on distance stock and gonny enjoy them for another 3 seasons then am outa them for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their will be no more greyhound Derby's in London ,as the mayor and old Boris want houses dog racing was once a community affair , and the UK and Irish have had great results , but there are a breed of human beings ,that we have created, and that I call the me, mes, a greedy selfish out fit, that would not give you a nod if they where a frigging.
