once for me=control

ok,must be another article.the one im on about i think he was a marathon runner...

as a yongster no.as an old bird yes.....

yearlings=natural for me,widowhood=2 years+

its no good training to get them fit.they must be fit before you train.....

glad to hear it theman.

mark,was that the article that said feed 100% beans before a long race.so when they are fed in the basket they will hammer the maze??

hi,carl its supposed to be good when the birds are moulting.to much in racing season will promote the moult.you can buy it from here http://users.pandora.be/kevinverhasselt/webshop_roosens_products_en.htm .. apparently good after the use of medicines also.

i went on a few loft visits in holland about 10 years ago.i asked at each loft,how long do you show your hens for on the long races.they all said the same about 40 mins to 1 hour so the cocks had tread the hens.they are more relaxed when in the baskets.try it on races when you basket two or more days before lib..........regarding the feeding try the high fat mixes for the last week.bamfords do a good one,and also had a look at bucktons and it also looks good.

the above is going anytime now..............

gone for 1-6 day old yougster,but it all depends on the bird.keep your eyes peeled and make notes.

yes pot egg them till they leave the eggs.then take the hens away.

sounds ok to me wings,how about racing a couple dry then there on the first youngun........

id say thats the least of there worries,still more chance of getting slotted......
