well done ray, a worthy winner.................. what breed is he ray ?

Nice one Ray congratulation

Unlucky Ian but still a nice pigeon

he,s a dhanhan david ,off my fred peat ones...full brother to my fut bird that won the 800 pound last season also brother to other winners for us...he has not scored but he is one of my favorite birds so he has one last chance next season because he did not race as a yb[late breed],so last year was his first year racing....

Well done ray a class bird
Ken

ray, ive a 2010 young cock who is the double of him.........i also had a stock cock which i lost last year and he was also the double of yours, he bred some decent birds which scored as well.

he,s a great bird , he fights with me in his box, he really protects it but on the other hand he is very tame , he will sit on your hand or shoulder thats why i have to give him another go. i will put him to stock if he does score as he is so well bred

ray the 2010 bird which is like him also is very tame too, he sits on my head and fights with my hand as well.........hes a proper caracter.

must be in the blood as most of mine are the same

the blue cock i lost which looked like yours is a grandfather to 1st prize winner and bred ybs to score too..............lost him last year when he flew over my head so dont suppose ill ever get him back now.

always lose you best david sods law

no probably not david,it get you a bit pixxed off when you lose them like that

yes it does, he was one of only a few which had proved themselves as nearly every nest he bred a yb to score a position.

Things can only get better David

made a big mistake tho when i let 6 pairs of birds go last month, a son and daughter was among them and i can never replace them now..............

Surly you could ask for them back to breed of or even ask the person to bred you a few younsters

If it was me i would let you have them back to bred from

no wouldnt do that don, the fancier who took them lives near me but cant get in our club because he is just outside the radius............he said if the ybs off them win he will let me have them back but thats not right, i couldnt do it.........i asked him if he wanted any birds to try but when he came to collect its not right to start sorting throught them picking and choosing and him thinking im just getting rid of crap, which i wasnt they were all birds i would never have parted with if i had my new loft up at the time.
ah well i hope they breed him some good ybs this year and will be eager to know how they do for him.......

That is good of you David there aren't many like you about only wish there were all like you this world would be a better place

Honesty that is the main key

Don's right David. You will have birds that will do better, just give it some time. It's people like you helping others out that makes it a good sport. If you are given birds, you never stop being grateful for them. Where as if you buy them its a bit different. You are helping someone else out that some people wont do.

to be honest i think the ybs i have this year (2010) are the best team i have had over the last 3 breeding seasons.............im hoping they will race well on the widowhood next season and hoping for very few losses, if any ........

David you have started right the positive thinking way

will only have 9 yearling widowhood cocks to race don, but if i get them right they should be able to have a few races, altho im not going to throw them away and might stop them at a certain distance..........

David that is a perfect number, but for me 12 would be max as to keep the workload down

But 9 is just perfect you can look after 9 better than 99 mate and you can still get some good racing done also

Will say you get them right and i can say you will take prizes
