O/S      you will get away (hatch) at 6 days without a problem from my experience etc. I've found 5 days is the cut off line, where you can say with confidence that they will hatch type of thing, if all goes well. Now !!!!     the two pair I mated up in December here etc the first pair layed in 2 & 4 days "Bin"     I'm   & the 2nd pair layed in 4 & 6 days. Subsequently !!!! one lovely little mealy hen went down to my mates place (Pom) yesterday to race etc & 2 rings come home     from him for the next round. I had a good look at Black Cavair also while I was there, that he picked up from the Icon "Clock bird 400 mile National, last year" & I would use the words, used by a wise man here recently "Hi Ray"     MMMMMmmmmm Interesting.

I couldn't get away with anything O/S    unfortunately !!!!, as much as I tried yesterday there. Sneaky bugger my mate (The pom)    he just picked up a hen also from an old bloke retiring from the sport, after 60 odd years who just lives down the road from me. Fed bird last year in a 600 mile race (Hard hard hard) & the Icon that raced Black cavair etc was left in her wack. Now !!!!!!!!     pressure will be applied & have no doubt O/S     etc that in the future youngster's of his 2 imports will be heading west to my place if/when I ever race again.

I have O/S    (Rapport) To sit in his back yard yesterday etc for 3/4 hrs talking crap         was plain joy. We solved all the problems around the world type of thing, as we sipped our tea       & a few pigeon ones also.
