a different "kettle of fish" . I had a spare yearling cock 1 season . too good for the dustbin . I kept him in a basket in another hut . exercised twice a day with the other cocks , trapped in to feed with them , placed back in the basket afterwards . didn't send him to first race , went to the 2nd , just homed ok . at 3rd race I had 1 cock not return , so placed him in that box . took him a few weeks to get used to the system , hen etc. took a 1st , 4th and 5th club that season . was a few years back .
