W.D. Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 After reading the article put on here about Jock Allen, and it said that he had 19 Doos that had scored in the SNFC.Just wondered, how many 5ooml pigeons do you have in your race team at present? Not including retired ones not racing anymore.How many birds do you think you would need to cover all the races in a season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmurray Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 A currently have 3 birds that's flew 500+ and a further 4 that's flew 450+ and I would say you need a minimum of 40 birds to try and complete the hole season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCHEQHEN Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I don't have any that have flown 500 miles, 6 or so that have flown 430. I haven't sent to a 500+ mile race for several years' but may send one this year. I've been saying that about the same hen for 3 years atleast - but she ends up staying at home for one reason or another. She will go this year I am determined!
