238 miles is a sprint race, if the system is successful why change anything? The only thing i would do is try to motivate the birds more, but that requires more information on what is happening in your loft to tell ya what you could do.

Sorry fella i dont agree with this, if it has taken longer then a week to get over this virus, you have had a secondary infection taken hold

Would like to congratulate my good friend and site member Tony C, on being 1st and 3rd West Essex Federation from Peterborough competing against 1,356 Birds!!! Well done mate

Its a grain i always give

They was in dagenham by the thousands last weekend tony i thought a storm was brewing

Hunger tames lions....you can teach any animal through its stomach

Who is the resident avian vet at this clinic,When henk isnt there?

Yes, id have em training everyday, whendoes ur season start?

The reason they fly so well in the morning is because theyve had a big feed the previous evening, that is all so time the evening comes they are hungry again hence the reason for poor flying effort of the evening. My birds only go out at afternoons so i feed heavy in mornings and light in evenings as i want there evening exercise to be good. However saying that if i read it rightly your birds are out of sight for an hour, they would be in the training basket if they was mine.

They need to be chased in my opinion, i reckon thryve been feed a high protein diet. Young birds should be fit enough to be trained by 12 weeks of age. Lighten there diet dramatically with barley. Too much protein in a youngsters diet makes them fat and lazy, as soon as young birds start perching the diet should be lighter to get them flying quickly

If its a winning cock bird id always take a daughter as a choice, and vise versa if a winning hen

Bet ya glad u never geo, first 4 in club well done

Do not put all ur eggs in one basket.....alot of disorientated youngsters will be in the air come saturday, i wont send a full team to at least 3 races in.

First question on my mind also

I have to thank member BIGPETE, for sending me a lovely gesture of a bottle of champagne for winning the Combine!! Thank you buddy it is truly appreciated

Hi Ian, there was only 51 home after the second day. Thanks for all the well wishes guys it means a lot

Thanks very much guys!!

Well done pal

Thank you very much guys!!

To get the best results with young birds you need to master how much protein they need, in my opinion though to much brown slows them down, and my birds wouldnt see any protein content after monday

If u race in a strong sprint competition and want to be competitive as young birds its a must

Ahhh thats where that trophy went, the london championship club been looking for it since 1952 😂😂😂😂 tbh i thought to win a trophy outright u must win it 3 years on the trot?

No mate
