thanks Darren can't wait to handle him 6-30 in the morning

high flyers once collected some young birds from me george, he said he`ll be here at 5.30am, i thought he was joking but he wasnt ........he said he starts getting ready for the day collecting at 2.30am in the morning

needless to say, i went back to bed for an hour after he had collected them .....

were here last week at 6-30am

george ive sent you a pm .

bird here to-morrow night about 10-00 pm will put in cage with food and water for a few hours

i thought my bird was arriving 6.30 am george or is the 10pm arrival a different bird...i never fed the bird today as they just bring it up in transit but was well fed last night

seems i'm the last drop off will bring into the house Darren have a cage for food and water for him will think twice about using highflyers again

no worries george he seems a tame enough bird anyway i am sure he will eat up etc...nowt else you can do ,i remember once having birds delivered 2am from holland and put all 12 in a basket with drinker on either side one with water the other with food and they were squeakers all settled after an hour or so

JUST ARRIVED DARREN  GIVEN HIM A DRINK FOR NOW WELL PLEASED WITH HIM

nice bird george, looks a good racing type .......

good news george thanks for letting us know ,yes he is a nice type to handle eh

eye of the checker cock from Darren misty

Not a bad eye George.

The pigeon is obviously no duffer so it matters not how it either handles or looks.

In the pigeon breeds I had all were very good handlers and most had good eyes
(two) but there were some very good at everything but racing.

He has won and bred winners so that is as good as it gets.

All you need is a hen that clicks, and good luck.


Another problem, you need means of giving the young a fair chance of proving themselves, the best young badly handled will do nothing.

Good luck George.

Regards.

nice strong racing eye according to the experts i think it has a bit more about it than that but to be fair i always paired different coloured eyes together ,the so called racing eye to the breeding eye is meant to be the holy grail but to be honest i
would just pair different coloured eyes i never went into detail about correlation and
clusters and the rest of it ,as long as it was bright and healthy that was enough for me,theories are interesting but for every bird that stands a winner connected to its said theory just how many are there that dont win as you never hear about the losers do we and theres sooooo many more losers than winners so for me its what is in the birds head and heart that matters most along with constitution ,always liked a medium sized bird not deep keeled with a strong back and single feather tail and found these were the most consistent pigeons in my loft but other types won to

yes i agree, this looks a good eye in my opinion.........plus he has proven him self anyway , i think i would pair him to an opposite type of eye, maybe a pearl type .

good picture by the way george, as good as any in a book by an "expert"

do have a hen bought 2 years ago maybe 3 she was 56th in rpra final when you take it 1500 birds started not bad
