that olr  final from France may appeal  to me

Would be a fair old test George and having one in the final would be great.

No doubt the fancier you obtained your pigeons from is a genuine fancier.

Does he also enter the yearling races ?.

If it gives you pleasure George tis all that matters and nothing to do with anyone else.

But just entering a OL race means your whole efforts could be over before the first training toss

There are no real checks made at any stage by an independent fancier all is done on trust.

You need a means of having your young ones tested in racing every week.

Something sadly wrong when pigeons are lost from 5 miles.

Best bet would be if a good fancier who does his/her share of winning would test
your youngsters the same as his/her own, you could offer to pay their way.

Alternatively and possibly the very best solution for you.

Put them into the auction like David does.

You find a good home for them and with a bit of luck some feed back.

They will definately be tested on the road in a proper manner and that is what you need.

Regards.

.

what they have started doing at our club, is enter birds into the breeder buyer, and the buyer can bid on the young bird and give it to another member to race for him...

i will have a word with a local fancier for you george if you want to send some ybs out ? not a waister and a good flier

suits me Darren  this yb went out with 3 others in end fancier did not race any

he is a genuine chap george i used to race against him he was one of 2 guys to beat at the club he races a small team and keeps no stock and breeds from what he has ,there good time to get it all organised and the best bit the organisation has a web site to view results but steve is a good chap and would keep in touch with any good news ,he races north road george

remind me when he would like me to pair up and how many he would like

i wil go and see him george next week and get back to you

thanks

Ideal solution George will be something to look forward to.

Regards.

good luck george, well done darren.

Get them tried out, pair feeders at same time, float eggs first 2 rounds, let the pair rear the 3rd round for yourself. Just my way but as long as you get the enjoyment and satisfaction that's all that matters first and foremost pal.

if you paired up all around the same time george, how many ybs could you breed ...? maybe this friend of darrens could take a round off you all around the same age .

i was thinking he may not want more than 6 we will see

The more he can deal with George, the better, but his loft space will be the determining factor.

Just hope he can manage a few.

Any surplus put on the auction pay for the corn etc; and anyone buying them will certainly race them .

No good having old pigeons sat in the loft and not breeding, unless an old favourite etc;

Hope it all works out well.

nice, pigeon. Having said that been new and all that. I have no idea what's a good pigeon and what's a bad one I hope it breeds you some winners

Join the club, the only time anyone knows is if it wins or breeds winners.

Better chance if from a long line of up to date that have bred both winners and breeders of winners.

Every fancier has fads regarding a good pigeon but only the basket proves if they are right.

Just look at all the pigeons that have bred and won themselves, every shape and size.

Just get some healthy well bred pigeons and sort the wheat from the chaff no need to make it complicated.

Best of luck.

Regards.

misty do you believe when you see a advert this bird has bred many winners i know i don't

My first consideration and possibly the last, why on earth would any fancier want to part with it ????????????????????.

I do George I'm   But then I still believe in the tooth fairy type thing here .

Do your best John to somehow find & handle winning type pigeons with some substance & credibility attached & you soon will find they come in all shapes & sizes I'm Bit of wisdom advise offered now when choosing birds choose wisely, choose ones that fit into your general lifestyle scenario etc     as nothing worse I've found than having birds that are totally unfit by what you do in life in a family type sense.

experience of keeping them and racing them is the only way john in my opinion, try get birds from a fancier who is doing well racing them, i wouldnt go too much on grand parents g/grandparents performances or pedigrees ......an up to date winning family and fancier is the best place ...."in my opinion"
