Novice Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 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. :( I don't wish to disrupt this thread but Tammy's post hits the nail on the head. There are 2 completely different selection criteria used 1 is looks only for show birds while a true racing fancier selects on performance. I think Delboy's post inferred this. Yes they are stunning hens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrod Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 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. :( well tammy this is the problem you get some that will see a good looking bird and say exactly the same ill keep that for the shows so they dont get raced much if any, then they breed a good lookin bird off it ,so then they get kept and so on so maybe 2/3/4 generations havent been raced or tried but they are still racing pigeons( that look good ) but how good for racing ? for me personely apples and trees spring to mind.jmo. ps great looking birds and in fantastic condition as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
