Hi folks lets get back to PIGEONS
I would like to ask, what preparations do fanciers take, when planning to send a hen/cock to a race over 500miles?
1. When do you pair these birds?
2. Do you allow them to rear youngsters, if so how many rounds?
3. How many races prior to the big race, and what sort of distances are these races?
4. What do you feed, and do you alter it, as the big race gets nearer?
5. What, nest condition for (a) hens, ( cocks?
6. What is your routine on the day of basketing?
