My latebreds have had around 12 to 15 short tosses as far a lanark 15miles to me as the pigeon flys .They are shut in now being fed a good quality moulting mix and next year they’ll be expected to toe the line to 250mile mark and maybe beyond.
A take it could fly ok .as it’s no showed here it’s head could be scrambled after it’s ordeal it disappeared on Tuesday while away touring with another wan the other wan came back the next afternoon I knew something had happened to them.
That’s a good question but I can only speak for myself for me a few races out to 100 miles and Iam happy with that I’ve been doing it for years and these Ybs providing they are good enough will hold there own with anything the following year.
There’s plenty fanciers like racing Ybs infact you could say they specialise in it and don’t forget it’s optional they are your pigeons you can do what you want with them.
