this weeks racing

good luck to all racing this weekend we are sending 14 to Portland our channel race was put back due to the French strike so we never sent ...sending 7 cocks their first race ever and 7 hens 4 of which have paired and layed could be good motivation as they seem keen lol had all 4 hens in 2 bowls last night I would put up a pic but don't know how ...funny to see though atb

Essex combine are up at Perth 10 am in a NE wind.
I've sent 7.
6 latebreds and a 2 year old.
So fingers crossed, I know a lot of latebreds don't like East in the wind so it could be a long wait.

Good luck to everyone racing today, hope you all get good returns.

I've got a latebred cock that hasn't performed this season, I noticed him hanging onto one of the top nest boxes that are empty.
I went home from lunch on basketing night and opened it up, when I came home after work to basket them he was spinning round in the top beatbox so hopefully his performance will improve today, you've got to watch your pigeons for little signs.

durham combine coming back from lille to try and get a race from maidstone tomorrow weather no better at lille after having to shift from arras because of gypsys convoyer has chosen maidstone because very high winds forecast for eastbourne tomorrow

good luck darren, boosey, shippy and all members racing today....

best of luck lads

I think this could be a bad day for racing, we had totally overcast and showers here all morning now it's stiflingly hot and humid with hardly no wind,
I reckon it could be a smash.

we had a sticky race got 9 out of 13 alot were having their first ever race ,we had a late bred hen first bird

glad to hear they come good Darren, im sure the others will turn up shortly...

Nice one Darren, I havnt seen a feather yet.

any news if anyone else in your club has one boosey...?

No I don't like to know David, it spoils it for me, but my strike got put back to 9 pm, and I just had 2 within 5 minutes of each other, the first is a little latebred, she came in and hasn't eaten or moved away from the drinker, she's given everything, she wouldn't even eat out of my hand.
The 2nd one looks fresh as a daisy after 9 and a half hours on the wing.
