Never had one return --lost 5 young birds during season but no returns so far
Mate has had 9 return since end of racing but he did have heavy losses--nearly all hens so he says .
I have had 3 returned all young birds weeks after the races they had entered. Hopefully they'll have learned from their mistake and prove their worth in the 2019 season.
Had some good racers from long time returnees.
Have also had some failures. They should all be given a chance to redeem themselves after a mistake when things somehow went wrong.
