Nice enough hen but 2 things are of big concern for me if I were wanting to pay good money for her

1. Her age. She's nigh on an OAP for a hen

2. I could forgive her age to some degree if there was a barrage of top performers that she was responsible for

But I don't see enough evidence of that for me to want to get involved in her

This is the only writing about her Mike.

Hello sports friends,

For sale is the pigeon NL-17-1864068 W, direct daughter of Arturo x Tila. Orig. Gebr. Leideman. Something like this will probably never be available for purchase again!

She is also a super breeding female. Her offspring have won several first prizes!!

Good luck to them

But I must have bred 35 plus from them most are useless so a 8 year old with no info I would run a mile from

I can find you better buys than that for a lot less money
