2023 Youngbirds

[Buster121]

I will be breeding a maximum of 20 youngbirds next year, as this year anyone want any please let me know how many and rough idea of month needed and I will do my best to accommodate you

As this year birds will be free but you must either collect or courier at your expense

[Buster121]

Great offer Steve, the youngsters I had from you this year were a credit to you mate it's just a shame that we had to wait those extra few weeks to get them here which unfortunately led to me losing most of them, however the two I have left are coming on nicely. Once I've separated the birds and gone through what I have left I'll let you if I can take a few more next year mate.

Yes it was a shame Trev did you race any of them or not, look forward to getting you some will be off different ones next year as looks like you had the last babies from some of the pairs and Andy the others as only had 1 egg off them since except 1 pair who have laid 2 nests of 2 eggs and they are the grizzle cock and lambrecht hen

Your blue checker number 46 had the last race from Kettering (106 miles) she was my 13th bird of 14 sent and arrived just on 5hrs, considering she was a late bred having her first race I was pleased with her performance. I also have the little blue pied hen who returned late from a disastrous trainer so I think she will do ok next season. It's a shame I've lost the last babies from some of your pairs, the Grizzle x Lambrecht sounds like an interesting pairing though

You had some from them Trev, the Jannson x Lambrecht

I still have all 6 of yours Buster. They have been trained but not raced as youngsters but will be tested next year. They are looking very nice. I would be happy to have some more to try next year although once again I can’t guarantee that they will be raced as youngsters.

That's great Andy hope they do well for you when racing starts

Which ones were they mate ???

If memory serves me right the 3rd and 4th ring numbers in the list I gave you

[Buster121]

Trev, Andy also had one same parents the nestmate to Andy's is the one that got scalped and I have here, you had 4 same way bred as Andy's, 2 of yours are cock 100% Janssen paired to a 100% Lambrecht, other 2 cock 50%Jannsen x 50% Lambrecht and hen 100% Lambrecht

[Buster121]

What don't you understand mate

[Buster121]

all of it

The cock to 2 of the babies is Janssen the hen is Lambrecht, the other 2 babies are the cock Janssen and Lambrecht cross and the hen is Lambrecht
The reason I put %50 and 100% is to show only bred from Janssen and Lambrecht birds all through there parents, great grandparents etc

Some good breeding mate, ideal for what I am trying to achieve at the moment. It's just such a choker that I didn't get the chance to do them justice for you mate hopefully we will have better luck next year I've just been through my old messages and found the list you sent me, I have one of the blue pieds left, not sure of the number of my head.
Now it turns out, having checked the numbers again, I do still have one of the special ones here !! I thought I had lost them both off the loft with most of the others but I was obviously mistaken, this one (46) is the one that I managed to send and get from our last race so I'm well pleased with that

That is great you still have a special there, still working on him for some eggs or babies for next year, have been thinking about breeding some from the ones I had off Devo crossed with some of my own next year, also going to try and get some reds off others especially for you
