Inbreeding, any good?

Yes you are right John it is all about gene pull

If you look in the homing world Jim (edgmand not sure of surname sorry) who's only interest was barcelona his best pigeon had the top pigeons in his pedigree several times to hold the blood and the blood is still winning now

hes breeding me a pr of y/bs off 96 cock grandsire to 2008 late bred cock sire to late breds sire and a pr of mardon van reets to race as y/bs then stock, its these that he loses as yearlings

What u will need to do for next year if you have the hens left pair them back to the cocks u have now, brother to sister this will give you back the bloodline put these to stock as ur foundation of this bloodline
Ken

still partner for now but took loft keys off him, a few things hes doing wrong told him about each a few times
1 parking car right upto loft were bottom loft near gates parking space just outside, council run compound 8 lofts they cut grass, no grass round loft car dug it up a mess
2 takes dog to loft told him a few times not too let loose running round compound when flyers have birds out, dog wont touch them but birds dont know
3 grandkids he cant control them aged 3 and 5 running round told him no dogs no kids wanting to take them in loft, since saturday birds been a pain to get in upto saturday coming in well, 3 go on house roof now didnt last week, think hes been to loft with dog or kids
been to loft 2 times today this morning he took dog i made him tie it to gate, this afternoon he brought grandaughter birds out both times so took keys off him, told him partnership off if he brings them again

will do thanks ken

Steve i would follow Ken's advice you can then use the blood in your own loft

Steve you could even exchange the youngsters, two racing methods are better than one mate

Hers one for you Steve, going back in time here 1989 was 2nd club 700 birds, 2nd Fed 10,000+ birds and was beat by an old fancier who had not won a race for over 20 years but he exchanged pigeons like you and the 50% mix of his own and new blood worked

Hope this helps and works for you to with the exchange
