I sent 2 latebred cocks this week. They’d never seen a basket before. Didn’t do as well as yours but are both back.

Fair play Andy pal .

Well done Anthony, not many have the patience to achieve that with latebreds.
You have to say they can only get better.
Good luck with them mate.

Thanks dave

Its a lot of work Neil
Normally breed April race August September cull in Sept job done this was breed in July train when u shouldn't really work them hard lose the rubbish now race until end of July before I cull so 12 months work instead of 5 months work pal.

Tell u one thing lads these modern day hype pigeons are pure rubbish, Jesus's it's hard to get real pigeons now 99.9 percent are weak rubbish with no metal about em ,
I've tried all these Internet in fashion birds there not worth a cold cup of tea .

Sorry about the rant lads but super frustrating I bought a massive team of best kittles of directs lots of other top pipa pigeons and they are so shocking it's unbelievable if 1 comes good at the moment I be shocked.

Just goes to show the old ways are not so bad find a winning loft in competition you rate and go to them
One problem I think is sale room auction local are becoming a thing of the past

Neil Ryan godson won Saturday n 2nd as well
I bred winner n mum to 2nd n Ryan as tried many birds like me but why is it the same pigeons for last 14 years still winning for us n none of these other birds really get near em Yr in Yr out clocking same family of birds ,its so frustrating Yr in Yr out when u can't find good strong birds .

It depends where you buy them from i would say, track down a flyer who is performing with the birds you wish to buy. It's not a case of just buying on line.

Devo what I mean the pigeons that are fashion now ,,I only buy of top lofts I'm giving no names but these pigeons are pure shxte pal weak as pixx ,my pal breeds me 9 baby's n 7 win n there's 2 good ones in that kit of 9 n these pigeons u buy 20 plus n there mainly all shxte ,I say mainly because I've not selected n one might shock me pal.

I've a good g dtr of Harry here she was 2nd national for me n now she's breeding super racers one son won he's 6th or 7th first last week, I've a brilliant van loon hen n 2 old jansenn as well but from over 100 birds fetched in its these 4 old strain pigeons that stood up ,,the modern in fashion pigeons n I buy the best I can that cost a lot of money but I race em not stock em and there junk pure junk .

Very interesting reading guys
