| I always look for when the wattles go pinkish and the beak,toenails look as though
they have been polished,plus they dont eat much.My best hen used to clap the skies
out like a cock when she was on top form.the cocks could,nt touch her. | |

Watch the birds closely i have not had a real
top performance from a pigeon without it showing
the form beforehand although i will say quite a few
of those times i didn't realise until i thought about it
afterwards.
Best pigeon i ever owned used to sit on the corner of the house
and turn his back on me totally ignored me when he did that he was Deadly.
He had 25 x 1st club never won when he was keen for getting in.
