new stock birds

well pleased with these new stock birds I recently obtained , they are van hee x stichelbaut 5 pair and dordins 2 pair all are 2016 bred , and are bred down from George brownlea stock of carluke Scotland , these are very good long distance birds for 500 to 700 mile races , I shall be testing them along side my own family of van hees in 2018 -19 I know it seems along time off but in this game of long distance flying you have to be patient , its not like sprint racing where birds have to win from the word go , I shall certainly be very selective with my birds , as you can finish up with too many ,while you are awaiting for them to mature

good luck with them steve

good luck with them edgie, look forward to hearing how they compare against your own birds........

Same here Steve, hope you get loads of luck with them, I remember my brothers late dad in law having dordins, stunning looking blues, didn't realise they were still around

I shall keep them as a family till they prove themselves , then and only then will I mix one or two with mine as you can soon wreck a good family if your not carefull

Fair enough buddy, hope they do well for you
