Hi Frank Persevere only your best and fittest o/bs Cheers Homer 49
took 30y.bs to New Cumnock a distance of about 15 miles by car. Got 5 last night and another 6 today whilst at work. First y.b took 2hours 50 mins and all arrived alone .No wonder fanciers are calling it a day as it really pisses you off that you think you have bred a decent team of y.bs and lo and behold you start training and BANG you get a stinker of a toss.
Doesn't anybody look at the atmospherics before training or racing? If you look at whats been happening and changes in weather etc you would leave the birds at home.
To many blaming the birds/ mothods etc and not looking at the main cause of losses.
I know one very successful fancier always sends his best old birds with the youngsters to teach them good habits. I am not sure if it helps returns a great deal.
I make a habit of this, your good old birds know the shortcuts. I also send along last years late breds (if any left!)

Do anyone exercise their birds for a hour before training them? Take the fizz out of them before training, then they will race home for their food.
Since restarting three years ago i haven't lost a single yb training and i'm no ace!
Buy birds from a racing fancier, not from PIGEON DEALERS. Generations of untested birds will leave you with an empty loft and wallet. THINK before you spend on strain names!
I always let them out before training especialy from short distances, it allows the birds to judge the position of the sun easier and takes the over exuberance out of them so they just home and don't spend hours looking around the area.
i did yesterday, but some took all day from 20 miles, let go 10.30am got the last one back at 7.30pm
Two things come to mind, magnetic disruptions or too much carbs in diet. My birds were going away for four hrs - six hrs ranging; one day returned with two cocks broken legs and a hen with half a wing missing so i left out the carbs and reduced their food to keep them near home. No more carbs until they go racing, no need to have it until then, IMHO.
