no no dont go thinking that its only 1 race...try a lighter jong bird or widowhood mix and try them on that plus did you change the way and amount you were giving them as compared 2 what you gave when doing 3 hours..

In OB's this year I upped my protien to around 35% and did phenonominal ( won 12 races and broke 2 speed records and had #1 Ace bird in my loft category in the Nation ) I will be trying the same thing in YB's this year I increased the amount of peas and also added Hemp and sunflower hearts I mix about 30% corn with 30% peas, 10% hemp, 10% milo, 10% sunflower hearts, and 10% safflower to this I also add infant formula, occasional calf manna, stockade minerals, brewers yeast, and several diffrent health mixes I use all of these OCCASIONALY and mix them on feed at same time using peanut oil

you have just made my little brain go bang ! is there a mix u can get out of the shops like that ??
A lot seem to be swearing by Gerry plus and then adding protien as the races get longer, but I would just go with a good youngbird mix. If they start flying less then lighten it with either some depurative or barley.
