Another back.....

got another bird back this morning at 9.15, it was a blue wf which i got off ken/friendslofts..............he is flown down and lost weight but is ok apart from his rubber needed to be cut off because it was high up his leg and twisted, it had cut into him and beause of the blood i had to cut it off.........only 6 more to come now.

i exspect you will get a few more when the winds have calmed down david glad to hear you got another

thanks darren, hope so.........i could do with a feww more working their way back, altho i think thats it for the oldbird racing as by the time they are ready to race again it will be too late of the channel racing........

that two birds youve got back david has had to think for there selfs build them up this week and bang them in again they will be diverant pigeons next week

yes two back now john, only another 6 to go.............


arnt they supposed to come home the same day from 137 miles

thats two its a couple to send,have you trained your hens if so will give you a few others to send

hi fred, no didnt train the hens.....was just racing the cocks as i didnt have the time to race roundabout, the two who are back are flown down and lost quite a bit of weight so i would emagine it will be a while before they are ready to race.....

david , ive rung hunderds of pigeons for racing and there is no way a race rubber can work its way up
a pigeons leg i think some did that diliberate hope a few more work back mate , chin up .

kev, you have just said what ive been thinking..............i know i might be paranoid but it did seem very strange to me as the rubber was up over the elbow joing on the leg, and twisted tight on the leg........

if i had rubbered a bird and put the leg too far into the ringer i would have pulled the rubber back down the leg, whoever rubbered it must have noticed, or did it on purpose.

i agree david , ive been in this game long enough to know when some thing as been
done deliberate and this is one of them , there is some nasty bastards out there mate
who are nice to you to your face but once your back is turned the knifes go in .
its got to be the ringer man who held your birds probably felt in good nick but he put a stop to hit by doing that
crule or what .

kev, the cock was a soontjen x meldert which ken bred for me last year, he was a blue wf and looked and handled lovely...........he is a small to medium sized bird and i did have high hopes for him, so as you say someone else might have noticed how he handled too.

I will second that i have never seen this happen either the one to blame is the marker who ringed your pigeon

Chin up David everything will be fine mate as we say here "it will all come out in the wash"

thanks don.........
