I’ll look to have around 30. Probably 6 from Buster and 6 from Rich. The rest will be home bred.

To be honest Dev I've not given it much thought yet. I've still got to sort my loft roof out before separating my birds, I can then have a good look at what I've got here, get my records up to date and ca then decide who I want to breed from. Trouble is I had too good a year and still have 32 raced youngsters left and 8 late breds, then of course my old birds 😬 I only have nest boxes for 18 pairs so as you can see I'm very overstocked so to be honest could with having a year without breeding anything but that will set me back so I have some serious sorting out to do πŸ€”πŸ€” I am hoping to have a few youngsters from Buster and possibly Rich so I will have to be careful how many of my I own I do keep. If I get my loft sorted in time I am thinking of having the vet visit so I can send across the water next season, I need to have more distance races to sort out my numbers.

Thanks Buster πŸ‘ I've decided to give our younger brother the job of sorting it out for me as he is a builder so I've told him I'll pay him and his mate to do it for me. He is going to board it and fibreglass it πŸ‘ hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Good to hear you are getting that sorted out, Trev. You won't know yourself with good roof on the shed. :D
