Hi
To win a young bird national what do you need, good birds, experience, I do not think so, a little help from an experience fancier,
If you pair up the 4th Dec, Eggs on the 14ths Dec, Y/bs, on the 2nd Jan, Part on the 26th Jan, Y/bs do not need to be on the Dark, Y/bs will be through the Moult for the Young Bird National, I was 1st and 2nd Perth y/b 328 Miles on this system, Only pair your stock birds up early, Distance birds from 1st feb
All the best
