Got a phone call from David yesterday, about half a dozen of the Bendigo blokes had a club training toss from 45 kilometres. A big liberation he said, and 77 of his 90 something where on the drop, and he was 2 out when he called me.
First race next Saturday and if the weather is okay all 12 of mine are going. I will go into town and watch them come home.
later I got a text message, a youngster by his top Heremans cock, Hawkeye, had placed near the top in the one loft race in Adelaide, South Australia.
My Billion Dollar Baby and the Trillian Baby are off him, and I have a blue bar cock by him, Road Runner, who is the spitting image of him.
The Road Runner got his name because last year when he was a yearling he paired up and took a nest box. When they were out he was going in and out, finding twigs and things, then running flat out back into the loft!
I let him pick a mate last year because he was a late bred and still pretty young.
This year I'll find a suitable mate for him.
The loft is finished at St Arnaud, I just have to put the small stock shed back up, that won't take long. Really looking forward to getting the birds back in their house.
