REDCHEQHEN Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 We basketed today for Saturday for our first combine race of the season - Eastbourne, it will possibly be a NEHU race, but they have never gone to plan over the past few years! So could possibly be well over 30,000 birds (there were approx 35,000 birds at Chelmsford last week in the UNC - but 3 cuts) 275 miles to me - and I'm surprised (and slightly embarrassed) to find that we were the club's biggest sender For the record - the club has sent 312 (14 members) and that is the biggest send to a first combine race our club has had - in many years, about 1/3rd more than is usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburgh west Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I have 12 in total 9 cocks 3 hens going. The cocks have been split from there hen a few days now and I can see a difference in them already so hopefully a better race for me than the last couple of races but I fancy a hen on chipping eggs. We are at ripon 140 miles. Atb for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would fit right in if you were in Elgin but 180 miles you would need to be flying to the moon.....then again you could be flying 180 miles after all 👽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
