Could be anything mate, as you say single him up and see, or maybe just likes flying I have one even today just goes off on his own flies over occassionally and then off again but he is flying and not dropping done it from a baby and he still does now he is 11 or 12 although not as long now, when baby would do anything up to 9 hours now about 3

I agree with Andy and love individuals like that in my loft, it may do nothing as a youngster but as long he is still here at the end of season I would say he is one to go the distance in the future
I think I've said before I had a young hen back in 1989, I don't remember her whole ring number but the last two digits were 39. She was a Cattrysse cross Busscheart from our Dads old lines. As a youngster she had two or three races but was a week or more late from all of them, as a yearling she had a few more races up to around 250miles and was down the order from the all but at least arrived on the day. As a two year old she was timed in the from Berwick 350miles to me. Then as a three year old she really repaid my patience and was 4th club from Berwick 350miles, 2nd club from Stonehaven 431miles (only 2 birds home in the club on the day) and then took top spot from Banff 495miles, all three of these races were within a five week period so when you take into count the days of basketing she didn't have long in the loft between races. I sadly lost her and one of my Thurso winners the following year in a smash from Elgin (no birds in the fed in race time) and I've never had a bird quite like her since.

Good bird that was, that is what I used to say about mine will be great over distance as he used to fly anything from 7am until 3pm so did his brother until I lost him, the one I still have I have never bred a thing from as his hen was also raced up until she got lost in a bad race then he was single for ages and now the hen he paired to not sure him or her but eggs never hatch

Nice looking bird George, look how clean that loft is, tell him mice can get through that wire

Nice loft and birds George, tell him if there is room underneath his drinker stands to put some ''D'' cups with grit etc in them will stop em crapping in them then, just need couple netting staples to hold them
