I'm rather impressed etc David be interesting thou I suggest playing the compare, compare type game when prices end between the two auctions we have on board here at the moment with a general interest factor .

All that glitters is not gold.

Be just  as many duds as from any other proffessional sellers.

Not forgetting the STUD will in all probability be using vets advice and treatment for all the pigeons, so health wise cannot be guaranteed.

Would much rather have a pair of Townies with a sound constitution, immunity built up as nature intended.

Another matter being not all the best fanciers fly in the Nationals, mainly those with money.

Better birds on the allotments.

Only way you may get any success is by buying the lot, othewise BOBS YOUR UNCLE.


Regards.

What have I always said everything in belguim is a cross there's nothing pure just names

Plus it's the first cross that's the best plus you get a hybrid Pigeon think about it JMO

I Know Nothing

yes i have always used first cross but you need to try the blood line on its own first in your own loft it needs to prove itself for "YOU" then you can start to use as a cross and then theres no guarentee that it will work "trial and error" these things can propel you forward but also set you back especially in a small loft set up where you dont have alot of pairs to experiment with jmo atb

Agree 100% Daz. That's the first and most important 'Yard Stick' as far as I'm concerned.
Only way of getting some confidence in the birds.

Ok then trial and errors abound... but many a cull isn't a nuisance and hindering. Breeding my culls to feed, clean out and waste time on.
