whoever fly danny birds, did u guys find anything different between this two color(RB&BB)to other colors. Last november i brought two pairs from danny which i didn't ask for the RB and BB...during to conversation i asked him for the hottest birds. and he sent me a pair of RB and BB,,plus two squaker..a red bar and one tortshell. a week later i fly the two squakers the Red bar came to roll pretty early and deep(30ft) which what i'm looking for early roll and deep...the bird is not fast enough, but i think probaly he still young, maybe the speed come later once he get mature. so what did u guys think of his RB and BB to other color which come from danny loft?

I don't know about the rb/bb but my buddy bought a whole kit of squekers from Danny. The black badges, torts, and the red badges came in the earliest and were real deep. He had a couple of black w/f, red w/f, and a blue check that didn't want to do anything but just flip. He gave those to me and guess what. Those are the fastest of all the birds he bought. I gave him back a black w/f cock (20-40 foot with an A patter)as he really liked it and I will give him back a red w/f hen (solid 30 footer with an A pattern). These birds that came to the roll later had more control and better quality than the ones that came into the roll early. The blue check hen is my favorite, smooth and fast 10-20 footer with a high H pattern.

Tu, as I mentioned to you in an email a while back, Danny sent me some red bars and blue bars he wanted me to try, saying that is his new speed stuff. I really haven't messed with them much. I have one pair mated up now.
I tell everyone that is interesting in Danny's birds to contact him and buy a kit of squeakers. This way the person learns how to fly his birds before he ever breeds any. Half won't make the grade and the other half will fit in nicely. His birds overall can be pretty "hot", especially if not managed properly. When his birds come into the roll, you have to really be on top of them. You have to feed them well, let them eat as much as they want. The next two weeks or so will tell the tale if they are going to be out of control or figure it out. The better ones typically figure it out pretty quickly. Once you have them on a good leash, you can slowly start backing off the amount of feed. When his birds mature into old birds, they are just like most families of old birds, they can be manipulated for more performance, as well as go pretty stiff on you if you are liberal with the feed can.
Here's the thing I have found with Danny's birds. The best matings are generally taking the super fast, often edgy hens to a strong, wide shouldered cock bird. It doesn't matter if that cock bird was seldom in the roll.
His birds are heavily inbred and many of them definitely can be right on the edge. Again, the key with those birds is taking good care of them during the transition to the roll. If someone doesn't pay attention during this time, he will surely put many of them in the dirt and wonder why.

hey Brian, i think i should try to fly a kit of his birds to get an idea how to handle his family. i talk to danny couple time asked him how he feed his birds. he did tell me how feed them. but it's tough when u fly other family with. you probably have more experience flying his birds with other family. maybe u can tell us how you handle your feed when flying danny birds with other family. thank

Tu, Danny doesn't feed his birds the same way I do. He is little more strict on them and often they get just chicken scratch which is corn and wheat with a dash of milo.
I don't feed my different families different from one another. I have ridded myself of the families of birds that you have to be real stingy on the feed. I hate birds you have to make roll. The three families I have now all pretty much react the same and can be fed the same which is generally wheat, peas, milo mix for the first few months of flying. Once they are past six months of age, they handle straight wheat with a dash of mix a few times a week just fine. The key is paying attention to your birds. Each one is its own little unique character and each one will respond differently to coming into the roll. Each one eats at a different speed too. The ones I see coming into the roll, I immediately give them as much feed as they want to eat, and do so for a week or two. That is the difference in helping the birds through this transitional period. If they are bound to make it, the feeding really helps. If they are doomed, the extra feed won't matter..eventually they are going to crash.

Tu,
Just give them 50/50 Wheat/Milo and every so often (once every 10 days) a good pigeon mix that contains peas. Give one cup for every 10 birds. If they fly for longer than 30 min, then cut the feed by one tspoon a day until you get them there.
Danny feed his birds wheat in the summer and pigeon mix in the winter. But he is in a different climate as you are.
Once Danny's birds become older (2 years) and you fly them every day, they will stiff a bit on you, so fly them every other day at that time. Other than that, they are easy to handle and manage.
