hello lads...just wanted to see what was your opinions on treating for respiratory during yb racing.. what do you use? How often? I myself use Doxy-T Sunday and Monday...we race saturday. I treat every other week. Best stuff I have used so far!

Hello folks my first race is the 25th of march and is a 170 miler. I have the birds only up to 45 miles 8 times already and plan on giving them this toss 4x a week and off they go to the first race. Do you guys think they can handle the big 130+ mile jump? They do the 45 mile toss under and hour and fly for another hour around the loft upon arrival. The birds look sharp as can be but am kinda weary about the big jump. Any advice? I am still debating on whether I should give them a 80 miler this weekend and the next to further prepare them if need be. ps the birds are on the dark system. jan

Lads, I am curious as to why Speight only feeds 3/4 ration on tuesday and wednesday. Is he training these days? Roadwise or around the loft? When the carbo loading feed days come around are the birds fed all they want? Jan

birdman, I have a couple of questions regarding your feeding schedule. So on ship night no food. When or what time specifically do you last feed the day before? Do you feed once a day? How many grams per bird? What % protein? Or maybe a breakdown of grain % in mix. How about feeding for races over 225 miles? Thanks for your time.

where can i buy natural yogurt? supermarket? Plain variety? HOw much per liter of water? Thanks. jan

I know it is a probiotic, but on the bottle it says that it takes care of bad bug build up? What is it specifically designed to target? Canker, cocci resp? All? Thanks

Wiley, i have 23.

hello guys, Just had one question as I think I have been overfeeding my birds for yb racing. I feed based on observation and wait till the majorority of the birds go for a drink which is around 15 min then i pull out the hopper. To me my birds feel just right but a couple of club mates say they feel a little heavy on ship night. I feed all they want to eat day before ship night and about .5 ounce of food on ship day? Am I doing something wrong? Pls give any advice or comments. Thanks lads. ps..I fly the darkness system.
