Ok everyone has an opinion , I did it the way I said ,oh and I work 6/7 days a week , I broke mine two weeks before the first old bird race and still won the federation old bird average . That year . I think if you had even let out 4/5 birds a day over weekend that would have been 8/10 then the same each weekend , not long before they were all broke with very few on roofs for nights at a time . Again jmho . Good luck getting them back and in , cheers Stuart .
