No not really Neil but not unexpected. I sent 10 and got 10. I only sent 6 hens that had been widowhood hens and only been loft flying for the past 4 weeks since re-pairing, 2 natural who had come back late from a race a few weeks ago and 2 stray cocks. The 2 stray cocks came in last year. I only kept them to keep a couple of natural hens happy as I was short on cocks. They hadn’t been transferred and were just put in as trainers. These hadn’t been in a basket at all this year. The Mealey who was the first bird is a 2 year old Welsh cock. He came 6 minutes before one of my own
He would have been about 4th club 
. The hens had only had the 9 mile trainer on Thursday morning with the youngsters. Apart from one they were all back within 30 minutes of the first bird. Including a latebred hen from last year who was having her first ever race.
I know not much but considering how short it was and the fact they were racing against pigeons that have already had up to 10 races I was pleased with them really. They certainly didn’t seem any the worse for a fly with no urgency to come down or trap. Next week will hopefully be a different matter again when the team I’ve been racing go to the last race at a much better distance.
Incidentally Buster the first one of mine was a yearling hen bred out of a pair of yours.
