Guest GRIZZLE GRAHAM Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 ARE THESE BIRDS GENUINE RACE BIRDS, EVERY PICTURE OF BIRDS ARE IN SHOW PENS?
pjc Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 ARE THESE BIRDS GENUINE RACE BIRDS, EVERY PICTURE OF BIRDS ARE IN SHOW PENS? whats wrong with showing racers? Nice looking hens!
blackdog Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 todhunter & ismay birds, can you please tell me what lines of dordins these are, these lads were stopped putting birds into all the local shows around cumbria because they were putting show crosses in
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 whats wrong with showing racers? Nice looking hens! Correct Phil, we show our racers at as many shows we can and we had tickets at Blackpool with our racers as well as show racers, the only problem I now have with the racers is if Liz picks out what she thinks will do well in the showpen then I have to struggle to get them in the racing baskets. :(
