| I went to the show, of all the studs that were there that had pigeons for sale Tumley lofts stood out by far, all the birds they had for sale were supreme quality.
1 stud had a lot of white pigeons and grizzles, the oldens were fine but they had some latebreds there.
They were obviously sick and one was hunched up with its eyes closed with poo hanging from its bum, I reckon it would be dead in a few days.
While I was there someone bought 1 from the same show pen. How worrying is that.
If I had a few bob Tumley lofts would be the one.
Topped up my Rops b, and got test kit from de weerd to make sure my 3 latebreds that are left are all clear from the infection that has decimated them.
Good day all in all.
Some of the birds that were in the auction started the bidding at £1,500. A fool and he's money are easily parted. |
