if you know the person who your getting the y/bs from ask him what they have been getting fed and try and feed the same for a few days then reduce his feed and increase your type of feed slowly over about a week it helps them as changing a feed straight away in a new enviroment can knock them back a bit

would also add location which is very important especially at the shorter races

hes right though andy

bump

if everone raced their youngbirds on rubbers for a year thats them with virtually nothing coming in moneywise for a year i raced my y/bs this year on rubbers and saved myself about £40 on the rings of lost y/bs if everyone did this you would soon see the prices drop

cheers guys im well happy with them

the 2 checkers 3 is a ritchie/whyte and 6 is a marriot x ritchie/whyte they were both at marlborough this year 2 and 4 are janssens

those are racers brian except the last 2 which are off my m8s 2nd section falaise cock

a couple others i took for practice

numbers 1 and 2 are youngbirds but i think number 2 is going to be something special

JANSSENS BRIAN number 3 and 4 are direct from wall lunt and green

A FEW ADDITIONS TO THE STOCK LOFT

your correct i was just wondering if it would depend on what program you flew a lot of short races or a few streching out

ive seen it but he says if you race them the whole program like that you can forget them as yearlings he advised any you wanted to keep for the future stop after a few races

DID THIS 2 YEARS AGO AND THE Y/BS MOSTLY HELD FROM 3 TO 5 FLIGHTS TILL AFTER THE Y/BN AT THE START OF SEPTEMBER SOME DID HAVE TO BE STOPPED A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THIS THOUGH THEY WERE HATCHED IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS IN JANUARY ANY LATER BRED ONES DIDNT LAST AS LONG ON THE FLIGHTS
