500 Mile RaceJust came from opening clocks.............and I won the A race this week end. (didn't ship the B race because of the weather) I was thinking (or hoping) I did when my little hen showed up so early yesterday. I wasn't even out watching for birds yet. My husband was in the back yard and yelled, "YOU'VE GOT A BIRD HOME".......I went flying out side.
This same bird came home from the 300 last week and it took her 10 minutes to trap. Yesterday it took her about 10 seconds. Don't know what the difference in last week and this week was. She's a 3 year old and has flown good for us and has been our first bird home a few times, but yesterday was totally unexpected. Just can't figure it out. Anyway, I'm very pleased and proud of her.

 This bird is the only one that they actually raised themselves and only because we had a two week warm up in Jan of that year, so even though they STILL didn't sit on the baby after about 7 days, it was warm enough that she survived without my help.

Race WinnerHere's a picture of the little hen that won. And she IS little. You can see the feathers that run down her leg in the second picture.
And, while I'm posting pictures.......  this other hen came to see me while I was out taking pictures. She's always begging me to let her next door to see her man.......

Renee, congratulations! I know that was a thrill. Both of these little hens are so pretty. Love the way the second one is cocking her head like she wants to be sure she is in the picture.

I'm so happy for you Renee! You must be so so proud of her winning that race
. Congratulations! She is a fine looking bird and a very fit one too..500 miles!Question for you: My Irish Paddy who I took in after he got terribly lost from his race last year still has his racing band on. I didn't think to remove it (and wouldn't know how), but it got me thinking recently, that perhaps I should have removed it. It looks tight, but his leg is fine and he has nice pink feet. I do wonder what the skin is like underneath though. His other band (which I still have) had to be removed at the vets as his leg was fractured. Do they get new race bands each race or keep the same number? Lindi
