Flor Engels

Any advice or info on this strain would be welcome please , hoping to race YBs next year and will be buying some YBs in but would like to breed a couple of pair as well , been looking at this strain as it seems a bit of an all rounder 60 to 500 mile , and will give me a solid foundation to work off , so looking to buy a couple of pair of stock birds.
Any body fly this strain or know anything about it ??

Cheers andy.

raced them a few years ago ,we got ours from louella ...they done ok for us

Cheers mate i realise that there`s no gaurantees in pigeons but got to start somewhere  was looking at the staff van reets and read that the line is not as strong as it once was ?? not sure how that can be said when lads must still be winning with them even if they have been crossed with other lines.

Geoff Kirkland has done well with engels pure and crossed

i think we had a cock that won 2nd club over 400 miles but.ll i.ll have to check that

Andy don't get hung up on strains or family's there's only two types of pigeons the kind that breed prize winners and the kind that score the rest just eat corn and crap and we all got plenty of that kind
go to a good local flyer who has flown well for a number of years and buy a couple of good pairs of l/breds off his best and go from there all the best sean
