pied hen from olr

this hen has come on nicely bought olr final

nice looking bird george, which one loft is it from and when did you buy it ...?

when i bought the 3rd place bird from the final 2 birds were sold and not paid for so i bought both this one cost me £30 +£5 courier from north west olr

looks an ideal type for you know who george it has an opposite eye to my cock to as i dont like to pair same colour eyes not that i am into eyesign even though i looked into it ....pardon the pun ,but i dont like to pair same colour eyes if i can help it

would you be happy for that hen to go with your cock

any info on the bird george, breed/ breeder etc ?

no David just who own it Southern softies it says cock but is a hen

good luck with her george

what do members make of this eye

i think its a decent eye in my unqualified opinion ...... dual purpose eye

definately worth breeding off, reminds me of a red hen i have who won 1st eye sign, very similar ...she bred two ybs to win £520 as young birds .

I think it's not the best photo and probably has a deeper colour in reality, but it looks similar to eyes people show of their best breeders when taken by professionals or when marketing them in adverts. Not into eyesign myself so not qualified to comment but as long as you're happy George that's what matters pal.

more than happy Colin

any info on the birds with that eye george ....?

what did the bird do in the one loft races george....i think it could be a good fit for my cock bird ,i did not like the blue you had in mind it looked a bit weedy to me but this hen looks as though its a nice robust type ,i dont mean small when i say weedy
mind you more skinny and that is a pet hate for me in any pigeon ,it may be just the pictures but thats all there is to go on ,yes i really like this hen george his previous hen had a similar profile

had a bad trainer Darren but then went on to fly hotspot one and two then the final

thing is Darren the hen i had for your cock was 3rd in olr final

go with what your instincts tell you george ,both have great potential eh ,thats half of the fun in pigeon breeding anything can click and breed well so go with your instincts george as either would be a good pairing the only thing is the blue has a similar eye ,what has the pied hen done racing ?

thing is Darren i had bought the 3rd olr bird and paid £25 courier any bird after that was £5 courier the auction had finished and 2 birds had been sold but not paid for so i bought  these 2 birds  for £80 she was £30
she had a bad trainer
them 2nd hotspot 117mls  124from 148 birds
then 3rd hotspot 151 mls 118 from 147
final 119from 145 birds 205 mls

loft started with 400 birds
so for £35 i think she is worth trying they have 2 lofts red loft and white loft 400 birds in each but race separate lofts

still worth breeding from and see what happens ,either hen would be worth a try so your call george ,as i said do what your instincts tell you ,it may turn out he settles better with one hen more than another anyway ,i would put them together and see how they get on i used to trial mine as some would not always take to a hen a few weeks prior to actually pairing them up

not being funny Darren it is a cock he has been in with the hens since i got him but has shown no interest put him in with the cocks had to take him back out

never had a problem with him pairing george ,seems strange that ...i am sure he will pair ,i cant see that being a problem

he's heavy in the moult may be the reason
