if this is 1st time out for last years latebreeds .i don.t think they will see many races .yb,s or latebreeds need to learn their surroundings build muscle and stamina as early as posibil . yb,s or latebreeds need out on their own at 2 to 3 months old to go raking all over.if out with older birds can keep them to their place just going round the houses.if not getting to build up muscle and stamina before say 4 months old i don,t think thay will make good race birds this is just my opinion
