Tuzo 251 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I don't disagree DUCKWING but if you look at the site......the HF section has no posts at all so you can be pretty sure that no showmen are spouting untruths about your beloved fowl. Its a general site thats ran and moderated by softie keepers and is very friendly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,770 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 It is a site for everyone, hard and soft feather alike. Has something for everyone, hunting, gardening and utter nonsense. It's a right good laugh on there, more light hearted banter than anything to do with poultry :laugh: All forums, whether they be poultry, hunting or how to do the ironing will have varying views, that's what forums are for. It is up to the members to educate others (and learn themselves), so people like yourself Ducky, need to join to make sure that the "MANY UNTRUTHS PUSHED BY THE " SHOWMEN " are discussed, otherwise those untruths will never be put right I have nothing but praise for the members of the forum. My best birds were 'gifted' to me after the forum owner saw what a job i had to get GOOD standard birds, and in fact gave me her best breeding cock and a stunning pullet. Asked nothing in return other than some offspring if anything happened to her birds. Other members collected and delivered those birds from hundreds of miles away for me.

Tuzo 251 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) DUCKWING I can see from my front room window some of the best rolllers in the country. I kept them from the age of 4 till I was in my 20's...never competed but went on plenty of flys. My birds were Bezance and Freemans stuff. If I had somewhere secure and the time to keep them then I'd have them tomorrow. Rollers attract as many wrong uns as any livestock.....if not more, see its difficult to have good rollers for your own eyes only. I've seen lots of lofts decimated by people with 2 fingers the same length. The people without are often the enemy within. Edited May 19, 2011 by Tuzo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
