replied george ......

few ybs from 2 years ago

they are a nice pair of ybs george, did they go to a fancier ...?

youve bred some nice healthy young birds george, you'd have no trouble selling them on elimar

believe it or not, not everyone can breed decent young birds .

its getting too expensive to breed ybs and give them away for free ....at least if you cover the cost or rearing them its a big help .

2ybs from last time we had green rings

think these were last year ybs

i do like the blues

bought this hen as a yb to raise funds for another site i was on bred by Steve and Paul Kulpa

when Dev come back into pigeons he joined this site and i gifted him his first bird sire and dam were bred by Dave Hawkins

can't remember who these went to they went chap in midlands just trained them hopes to race next year

you rear some cracking babies, what do you use for breeding mix george?

feed only junior mix all year by countrywide no maize i'm not a member of local club but they sell me the corn was £9 now £12 still cheap very little grit and black minerals but do give them water cress 3 times a week

yes , youve some nice looking birds there george,both old and young ...

got 20 now need to come down few more and got to stop holding some back

i usually keep a couple back that have been pecked , cant let them go to new owners like that ......but last year and this year ive purposely kept 2 back each year for future stock.

the old ones arnt getting any younger, and at some point wont be able to breed

the blue cock i bought as a yb now 11 years old has not filled eggs for 2 years will cut tail way back this year
