I'm sure if they don't improve there would be some lads in the club who would help him with youngsters or eggs if he gets into it proper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes a top flyer send him a pair , I think the biggest thing Is the bloody bird flu we was aloud to loft fly but just not train , but we can now train hard now and hopefully improve, he has 6 young birds flying out now and just starting to all fly together so fingers crossed we have a chance with them this year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferret333 749 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Great news. Glad your enjoying it. Make sure the birds are healthy and they shouldn't be far behind.

gnipper 6,753 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 This years pouter chicks. The dad is an old bird and has caught me plenty of ferals and the mum is decent, regularly dragging racers away from their kit so hopefully they will turn out well. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
