An excellent result for the team and great performance by the birds, well done to all concernedNeilA wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 6:29 am Just thought I would share my pals Adrian and Trevor Wilson Lerwick pigeon from yesterday
1st section 15th open nrcc 572 miles one of the longer fliers probably 80-100 miles further than the Lincolnshire / Nottinghamshire lofts
He sent 4 got 3 8d7e4c4f-46e1-4b58-9446-1b949c508ce4.jpeg
I had a squeaker come in as stray last year which is apparently a Jellema, the owner only brought them in a couple of years ago so hadn't had chance to prove them yet, he was happy to transfer it to me. I didn't get to race her last year as she wasn't old enough, I sent her to Melton Mobray, 134mls, for her first race on the 25th of May this year. She turned up next day with her crop split open, I took her round to another fancier who helped me stitch her up. She is doing well now, you'd never know it had happened, unfortunately I didn't get to race her again so I'll have to decide what to do with her over the winter. I might send her to Guernsey with the BICC in August

maybe I should be breeding from this little hen then 
the only thing I did notice from that video is that nearly all of their champions were Blue Chequers or Blues !! Mine is the right type, small but perfectly formed, but she's pied !! I did see a couple of pieds I their loft and even a Mealey but most are Chequers or Blues Yes Neil, I'd love to join the NRCC again if they had a Marking station nearer !!NeilA wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2024 9:04 amIt’s a shame there’s no marking for the nrcc your way TrevTrev wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2024 9:08 pmI had a squeaker come in as stray last year which is apparently a Jellema, the owner only brought them in a couple of years ago so hadn't had chance to prove them yet, he was happy to transfer it to me.
