that's some really nice racers you got there. I like their colors. I also have a pair of racer that I bought from this one lady who retire. I got a pair of blues from her. All this time I've been using them for foster. But a month ago, I decided to let them raise one clutch to see if their youngs are good to race.

houndsandfeathers - I have two families one is the Wonder family and I also have some muelemens from Antoine Jacops. The muelemens are good long distance birds. I had some bandits years ago and I like them a lot. Also, I just sent some birds to the flamingo classic race.

houndsandfeathers.....What type of system are you going to fly?? If I were you I would fly the widowhood system with the old birds. That seems to be the HOTTEST system working now a days.

houndsandfeather...I never used the darkening system myself but, have heard that it works well on the young birds. Its used alot in Europe. Good luck this year.

Windjammer and Houndfeathers - Widowhood is the way to me also. I have heard a lot about the Cali line. Most guys are going strong with Mike Ganus stock but I stick with Cambell Strange still.
