Team –
Exciting week ahead of us – the settling cage on the new loft comes off…your birds go out…and, with the blessing, your birds go back in! Going to route them for a couple of weeks, then start basket training.
I believe there are a few more birds headed my way – the 16 currently in the loft should bump up to 20 Gurnay by the end of the month, and that will probably be all.
Each year we do this Futurity, there seems to be a trend in the birds. My first year, probably 2008, there were plenty of show-pen style Bronze birds, a couple of BB’s. A few years later, everyone was racing the BB’s and some light checks. This year – 2023 – I can honestly say, is the most colorful loft of Gurnay that I have ever seen…with the EXCEPTION of BB’s! We have a red, two silvers, quite a few stunning bronze, dark checks, and I am convinced there is some dilute and some smoke popping up. I don’t know enough about pigeon genetics to describe it adequately. What the all have in common though, are good, tight, small to medium small RACING bodies.
Couple of photo’s of them in the settling cage attached.
Until next week.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
