What's your preferences regarding widowhood cocks having a bath?  I prefer Thursday afternoons this time of year, moving onto Fridays when it gets warmer.

our widowers either get dipped or have a bath on sunday after the racing,, they don't go out but do enjoy a day off..

goodluck all for the weekend

Took some advice off Richard Green of Crowley and Green this year, he has given his birds a warm bath midweek before the big races and said they really benifit from it.

know someone who dips their birds on friday morning before the race,,,

when we dip them they have a very warm bucket full of water dip then upto their head,, keep them in it for about 1 min,, they love it,, just put them back on their box after,,

lol..

have a good one

I see the bath as a tool, a warm bath for two things a cold bath for three others.

Some guys in these quarters do actually use, not warm, but fairly hot water, for the dip, and swear by it. The guy from the Sheffield, area. (I can't think of his name,) states in his video, that the later his birds take a bath on marking day, the better chance he has of topping the fed. So there we go! Everybody to there own methods.
But it definitely is an advantage if applied at the right time.

Midweek? Wouldn't that not be on marking day for the Clasics?

in the good weather the f.d in the morning makes the w hood cocks rest better all day frid       all in club used to wonder what this f,d was ,,had them all guessing  
Friday Dip  in hot water ,,certainly did mine no harm    [remember ,pigeons temperature about 6 deg higher than ours,,,,,,maybe not on race days though ]

Jimmy , Nice for a "somebody"  in my estimation to reveal a trick or two. without cards being involved. But they follow suit at the end of the day dont they?  I cant sleep tonight, because I.m too excited!   (Two days before Kick off)

  good lad vic

Hell Vic you sound just like a sprinter lol

Only bath cocks on a sunday morning, open loft to please themselves while sections are sprayed out and left to dry.

All race team have access to a bath every Sunday morning. However will be interested in the feedback from those that are trying the Friday prebasketing bath method.

dean pallet always let his birds bath on friday didnt do his any harm

Well did anyone try this method this weekend, and if so how did you do?

I tryed it didnt make much difference , I was still at the bottom end of the top ten but that could just be down me still learning the ropes.
