| Some birds here got for nothing. Bred me some unique birds. Porky crossed with Miss Piggy bred me Stamina and Puddle Jumper. Stamina loft flies for almost 30 mins!!! Puddle Jumper flies over puddles, the others walk around!! Oh yes, also bred me Sideways Sally. Hand raised as a young bird. She could not pick up grain, she is so cross eyed! Always flying in to things..unique birds!!! |

| i think 30 quid is too much for a yb to race, if you bought a few especially.......I think £20 is a price you can race them at. |

| £25 is plenty for a young bird to race or put to stock with pedigrees but we have to pay much more if you won't the blood lines |

Would need to know their results,if they are selling 100s of youngsters then they must have a large team,if they dont win their share in their own club/fed then would assume all is not what it seems, alarm bells would ring if the usual excuses came out, we have all heard the excuses.

Never mentioned studs,was thinking more of those who breed 100/200 to sell,they must have huge teams so if they use pedigrees to sell birds and not their own performances the let the buyer beware

I know plenty good lofts who sell their surplus y/bs and it gives fanciers a chance to get new blood lines at a fraction of the cost it would cost for the stock birds as they say u pays your money takes your chance sean |

Agreed,but plenty feather merchants who ain't got the performances to sell their birds with so make excuses and sell on pedigree alone
