shame but breeding is well over now due to the virus ,we decided not to breed a 2nd round and ended up with 12 ybs after giving away 12 and sending 5 to the one loft ,these are the last to be weaned ,the first one is off a frans zwol cock (father to your cock david) and a van reet hen 76 the beast because she is a big girl and was bred by david in 2016 and gifted to me ,she has bred winners with 3 different cocks now and this is her 4th pairing this pairing just took my fancy and they bred a lovely blue ck handles well lovely feathering/balance ,the second picture is of a pair of ybs bred from a cock i bought at last years rpra one loft auction he was 15th ace bird and of herman ceuster breeding and we put him to a frans zwol hen a completely new pairing but again very happy with the goods in looks and balance a lovely pair of cheqs ,shame as i wanted to send 2 out of these for the 1 loft but dates never worked out...but will they go to waiste ,it may turn out we have to do a few 50 mile trainers if theres no racing and take a few club mates birds while we are at it so its like a race almost so they get some education this year...thats if we are permitted of course ,anyway thats breeding over with for another year atb

They're lovely later youngsters Darren, I got some similar age leo heremans powder blues, you can see them develop each day in this good weather, thriving. I'm sure you'll get these trained up and maybe even a short race but looks like everyone will have tough decisions to make about what to keep at end of the year!

yes i like these ceuster pigeons colin they are similar to frans zwols ,i have a cheq here but he is larger and never bred from him this year ...not because of that mind you and he has more leo herman influence and that was the other one we got at the rpra one loft auction last year...the bulks i have handled were quite big but i dont know if thats a trait ,anyway we are sticking with what we got as our base and trying a few crosses from our most successful pairings offspring on race results and see what happens
