  2. is it just one hen you have or a team of hens? if shes on her own throw her out with ybs to exercise then friday put her back in the loft where she was paired up with a cock she will go mad!!
  3. thanks stephen for that may give it a try
  4. some of these convyers dont even have pigeons & dont understand the importance to a good lib after asking the question last year when i saw a lib where several baskets didnt open he said this happens every week & also said well they got 80miles to catch up well you all know as i do if there not in the fist team away theres no chance they back markers will catch em!!!
  5. decicded to repair them flying much better after locking hens in if this week they dont win i will get them sitting for 7days then put back on the widowhood done this before half way through the season with good results if they win sitting will leave em together as still fit as widowhood cocks so should & can beat widowhood cocks onthe natural
  6. good points raised i deciced to pair them up this week as not happy how they are loft flying gonna get em down on eggs then maybe split up again today after being paired up after this weeks race flew 45mins am & pm & didnt look at the fields!! where can you get DMG from & is it like transform?

    lets get back to to topic of france anyone else heard about 350 miles being the max we can race? or is that 350miles in france o
  8. think late breds are ok if you have plenty to make taking em up the road worth it there not what i call late breds though with plenty of training if you have some drop backs they will get a couple of races from them. i had about 10 late breds this year & starting em out trained all through winter on good days & started to race this year to soon stop em as weve had a few bad races & weathers not been great this year so keeping em training & waiting for drop backs when weather gets better or even next year
  9. very hard job to please everyone!!! what i do think that would help is where ever there is a race point in the uk is to get intouch with a club/fed in that area & for them to take control of the lib from that site ie weather/fair lib as ive seen convoyers let go in bad weather cos they want to be on there way home & also some baskets not opening & with some feds where 2feds on same transporter have been let go with wrong lib!! sure other members in that area would love to get involved i know i would over see lib in our area
