has anyone got  a good young bird system i can have a go at this year

thanks jack from ireland

Wow, thats a loaded question! There are as many systems as there is flyers. I suggest that you read and ask lots of questions and develop your own, what works for you and your birds. If it doesn't work then figure out why and change it. But make a plan and stick to it.
But in general, I raise young early on lights, first round is almost ready to wean now, move young to natural light loft, they molt, and then race them natural, leaving c's and h's together. I never let them raise babies but I do let them mate up and replace with dummy eggs. I worm them with Ivomec and spray them for lice as they go into the YB loft. I trap train them and put them in crates and teach them to drink in crtaes. I start very short, with in site of the loft, when starting road training them and train out to at least 60 miles, training down the road twice a week. I use preventitive treatment before hard training starts and preventitive treat durring the race season and worm as needed if I see worm eggs under the microscope.
Thats it in a nut shell. But read and listen to what others do and incorporate what you like to make your own system.
Yours in the sport.

your asking for the holy grail,, it takes some many many years to perfect their feeding.. many mistakes are made and many races are lost due to bad feeding.. I will give you this tip.. routine is essential,, never change the feed mid season, always feed the same time very day.. excercize same time everyday.. feed them well and don't break the birds down.. just build them up.. also work them hard and reap the rewards,, goodluck in your search,,
