Split mines few nights back... Getting 30/40 mins out of them hens ranging a bit tonight when out.

Not a fan of training them either Tommy but probably give them 2 or 3 chucks from 10 miles when we get go ahead to race. Any further and I'm into Irvine Valley and its a skelping more often than not

i feed barley all year round but its measured out so they dont get fat ive got plans this year for 3 lofts to mix the barley 50 50 way paddy rice naked oats and safflower and keep one loft on 100% barley and see what yin has best results

Be interesting to see what works best and how far you get them out to on that system.

Always like some protein in mixture to develop muscle and have something to work on if they get out their ground

Just what a street doo would get in the morning and a treat at night feed for being good lassies

With all this time in garden and loft

Finding out what makes them fly

And finding out what mistakes stops them wanting to fly .

Fingers crossed for some sort of normality come summer
