You must be lookin for lots of exceptions to the distance that you birds are bred for? If you believe that the families only win from the distance set out by the originator of the family? Personally think the bird does not know its a sprinter or other?

Am givin the darkness a skip this year for the first time in a few years!!! Just canny be arsed and the results werny great for the moult in winter!

Doon at my bit last week for a couple of babies in John Quinns sale CEM! That man likes his doos?

Nowt worse Gavin stick in mate!

Defo Bill but I huvnae handled many winners that I didny like in my hand!!!!! We killed a cock for sittin on loft roof and his nestmate, also a cock, scored twice in gold cup!!!!!

I am delighted that the info drummed intae me John by two old men(old boy and uncle Jim) isnae just a Dalgliesh theory :emoticon-0123-party:

LOADS??? Back is the most important for me!! Nae tails in air!!! Nae flighty bassas!!! Nae runts and nae massive cocks!!! Nae badly fooks and nae sittin doon as babies!!!! No a big fan of frills and quiffs and bent keels wae babies are for the bin!!! Dinny like squeakin and gruntin after a week spaned and anything that sits on roofs constantly is gone!!! Harsh?

I canny get that. I often get a hen sittin tight wae first egg and swap diffo size squabs frae nest tae nest? That wusnea wot i meant tho and really asked aboot whether ye culled wot ye didny like after spaning?(moving)

Do ye get the required babies in hand always???

JAg for typhoid in nest and myxo later. Canker cos have always done it even tho the parents are treated before pairing???Belt and braces but just feel it stops the babies going backwards?

singles best, jag young and canker when spaned???Water the thing and the quicker the better!!! Feed something they feed on easy and change to wot ye are gan tae feed quickly! KILL WOT YE DINNY LIKE AND GET THE RING BACK ASAP!!!!

*expletive removed* all wrang wae a tailwind charlie!!!!! same distance covered as the rest o the doos????????

Wots in the nest bowl??? No much room for the babies in there!!!!

You will always get exceptions to the rules but tend to loose more sprinters at the distance than you get and will be too far back with yer distance birds at the sprint stage more often than not!!!

Here is some technical blurb if anybody can be bothered wae the jargon. Notice the heat/power ratios! http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

Ye it will be ok but the proper way is to charge the battery from flat to completely full and then use it unplugged from mains until the laptop warns you of near loss of power, reconnect and charge to full and repeat process. This stops the bat from forming a lower and upper charge limit memory.
