yes graham, we originally bought the lefebres from louella in the early 80`s, we bought groups of 6 and 12 and to be fair they raced very well for us more or less winning from day one, they also bred birds to win as yearlings/old birds until we pact in with pigeons after the 1986 season.......the lefebres i have now originated from nigel cowood and jimmy richards but as yet they are mainly untested for me..........i think ray has some similar way bred.

nice birds david great condition , cant help noticing on the first pic boxes dont look very wide have you cut the box fronts down

yes you are correct ian, the boxes were made to fit a 6ft section so the plastic fronts were cut to fit.........they work ok but they are a bit tight when breeding as i feed in the box with the plastic cups and the ybs tend to s**t into the food when they are a bit bigger......

happy enough with the boxes tho` altho in my stock shed they are normal size.....

Lovely pigeons david look excellent

my dhanens are all based around louella pigeons in the early 80's, mainly bred around louellas magic blue, one hens a grandaughter, another a g.g daughter, and the cocks are similar

there was a double grandson of magic blue for sale on louella maybe a couple of years ago alex, it was only either 70 or 80 pounds at the time..........i wondered if it was a mistake as i would have thought it was worth more than that...........

would have thought it would have been more too david

double grandson....hows that bred david what was he bred back to?

must be that his father was a son of magic blue, and his mother was a daughter of magic blue.......so magic blue would have been the granfather on both sides..... i think....lol

nice looking healthy birds david well done

thanks darren, funny tho i always seem to think other peoples look in better condition than my own......maybe its just one of those things eh...lol

i always think others look better but to be honest you see your own every day so its just your seeing others in a different light really
when i used to work away from home the kids always seem to look differant when you got back its just cus you aint seen um for a few days they change so much
