Well done Dave, good to hear they all made it home ok.Diamond Dave wrote: ↑Mon Jun 09, 2025 9:48 am Well I sent back 5 of the 6 yearling cocks back to St Philbert and got 4 from the 5 (so far)
Didnt break any records but couldnt be there to verify the first one anyway so its position was given as the verification time. Wouldve only been a few places higher anyway.
I didnt send 1 of the 'questionables' in the end and the other one was there first thing this morning. So I am very happy with the decision that you all helped me make and will stop them now.
Ive only got 2 out of my 3 Pau candidates now as one has broken about an inch off his 3rd biggest flight feather - no idea how but probably best he dont go anymore either and certainly not to 600 plus miles.
Thanks again you lovely ppl.
That's a shame about your Pau bird, depending on how much you value him I think I'd still take a chance, I think he'd still do it ok !! Having said that, if you did and he doesn't make it you've not really proved anything and will just beat yourself up about it so you've probably made the right call.
Good luck with the other 2 mate.
