what do you think now IAN are you still convinced they are the same birds 6 and 9 took this picture today and told the bird to stand at a different position and to stop mucking about

what breed are they again

just wondering

ritchie/white distance doos all down from stormqueen france winner 726 miles

excellent, thats what i call distance birds,loverly looking as well,hope they do the business for you

well they held there onw for 55 years with my uncle so theres no excuse for me i will get some to 580 miles this year then next year they go the full distance at three years old

3 years is the right age not yearlings like some people send

great set up and birds there john, the birds are looking in excellent condition..........have you a picture of the old lad handy john ? im sure members who be impressed by him especially at his age....

hi david this is a photo of the old cock in his box at 15 years of age in two months all of my birds are down throu this cock he has bred maney section winners over the years at 600 miles plus he was allways a stock cock never raced by my uncle hes the great grandson of stormqueen the france winner flying 726 miles 100 miles more than the only bird to be before her if you want i can take a better pik of him tomurrow still looks a great pigeon and came throu the moult very well this year and still wont let any other cock in his box

this pics fine john, hes still a great looking pigeon at 15 yrs old.......he looks quality. i remember seeing him as a ref bird when the clearance sale was advertised and saw that he had bred some winning birds, your a lucky man to own such a bird as this john......hope you manage to get one or two more out of him.......
