Raining here now David and very dark mate

hi don, did rain this afternoon for a while.....but it came dark here just after 6.30 tonight and its damp and cold outside..........the nights are drawing in now and wont be too long before its dark at 4.30/5.00 pm

is the top one a jan arden david

hi darren, yes shes a jan arden x janssen.......she was bred by steve/sgw brown and shes a lovely bird to handle too with soft feathering.

looks a nice hen hope she does well for you next year what are going to pair her with

not sure really darren, was thinking of a mealy janssen cock i have...........she was my best racer up to 137 miles but i dont really have a cock to put to her which has also done well at the shorter disatance.........

nice reds david are they racers or stock

thanks darren, they are stock birds.........the two cocks were on loan to me but he said i can keep them as long as i want.

ah rite just wondered which way you were going to go more speed or distance

that red cock would go well with the gay pied hen jmo

im thinking of the janssen mealy, but i happen to know these janssens dont really come into there own till they get to 150/200 miles plus..........and as they didnt get that far i dont know which would have been any good, so the cock im thinking of was the young cock which raced the best in the three races they had.
